Chloe Fineman Leads Pantene’s New Conditioner Collective

Christine Schott Ledes — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 04:12:39 +0000

Pantene Creates Consumers’ “Dream” Conditioner

New High-Performance Formulas That Do More for Style

Conditioner has long been considered shampoo’s obligatory sidekick. But that’s about to change. For 40 years conditioners have been saying the same thing – “condition and detangle hair”— and consumers were tired of it. So, Pantene surveyed women and asked what they really wanted from their dream conditioner. And turns out, it’d be more like a styler. The new Pantene conditioners are designed to make styling easier, more consistent, and longer lasting, with twice the protective antioxidants and pro-vitamin B5. Can your conditioner do that?

To prove these bold claims, Pantene has partnered with a Collective of impressive, strong, modern, multi-hyphenate women known for pushing boundaries who will help demo the conditioners against their everyday activities. The Pantene Conditioner Collective will work to redefine conditioner’s status quo with humor, creativity, and inspiration, demonstrating how hairstyles hold up in real life scenarios when you dare to demand more from your conditioner.

The Pantene Conditioner Collective members include:

Chloe Fineman, star of Saturday Night Live and Dickinson known for viral impressions and insane personal style
Jess King, Peloton instructor who rocks iconic, long red braids and ponytails through powerful workouts
Meg Stalter, breakout sketch comedian and actress on HBO’s Hacks who captivates with her honest, audacious humor
Nardia Boodoo, model and ballerina with The Washington Ballet whose Indo-Trinidadian heritage radiates through her natural curls
Ezinma, violinist, composer and educator shattering the stereotypes of classical music, performing with top pop artists and working on her own debut album, Classical Bae

The Collective makes their debut in Pantene’s new film “Can Your Conditioner Do This?,” a vibrant showcase of ways conditioner can deliver more for your changing hairstyles. It features the women wearing updos that undo to soft curls, braids that last for miles, hairstyles that hold with less breakage and loose waves that last even under hot stage lights.

“These women are the main characters in their own lives, and we’re inspired by their use of style as a means of expressing individuality and the different aspects of themselves,” said Maris Croswell, Senior Brand Director at Pantene. “At Pantene, our goal is to create products that help her achieve her desired end look so she can express herself freely, and her hair needs a strong, healthy foundation to do that. Our new formulas have 2X the active nutrients* and nourish hair to make it easier to style. She can experiment with her styles and express her individuality, knowing her hair can keep up with everything she asks of it.”

Later this year, Chloe will be kicking off a series of #PanteneCanDoThat challenges on Instagram. Through these challenges, Collective members will showcase how using Pantene conditioner enhances their style. From recreating popular hairstyles, to bringing back the 2000’s, our Collective will share how Pantene helps achieve and maximize their hairstyles. Fans can add their content as well using #PanteneCanDoThat.

“It’s 2022 – You should be asking more from your conditioner!” said Fineman. “I love having a conditioner that can keep up with my day – constantly changing styles, getting into different characters – I know my Pantene conditioner can keep up with whatever I throw at my hair.”

Additionally, all of the beautiful imagery supporting the launch of Pantene’s new conditioners showcases the authentic beauty and individuality of the Conditioner Collective members. The imagery undergoes no digital alterations that would change the original texture, color, style, and overall individuality we strive to celebrate. These images showcase strong, healthy, unique and beautiful hair– in its best and truest light. Moving forward, all of Pantene’s beauty imagery will genuinely showcase real, diverse, natural beauty and its many different forms.

Pantene’s new conditioners include five varieties (Daily Moisture Renewal, Curl Perfection, Smooth & Sleek, Repair & Protect and Volume & Body), and will be available for $4.99 nationwide at drugstores, food stores and mass merchandisers January 2022.

Henkel to Acquire Shiseido’s Hair Professional Business in Asia-Pacific

Christine Schott Ledes — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 02:28:46 +0000

Henkel signed an agreement to acquire the Asia-Pacific Hair Professional business of Shiseido. The acquisition comprises leading Professional brands such as Sublimic or Primience, endorsed by the licensed Shiseido Professional brand. Shiseido Professional is a salon-exclusive brand offering premium products for professional hairdressers in hair care, hair color and styling items as well as perm solutions. To support business growth through a strong partnership with Henkel, Shiseido will retain a 20 percent share in the legal entity in Japan.

In fiscal 2020, the business to be acquired reported sales of about 100 million euros and employed more than 500 people, including strong R&D capabilities. The business is present in most countries in the Asia-Pacific region, which is known as a strong hub for beauty innovations and trends. In terms of sales share, Japan, China and South Korea are the most important markets.

“As part of our strategic agenda for purposeful growth, compelling acquisitions play a key role in actively shaping our portfolio. This transaction is a step-change for Henkel’s Hair Professional business. By expanding our Professional business in Asia-Pacific, we will become one of the leading players in this highly dynamic region with attractive future growth potential. This move will also further strengthen our Hair Professional business which has already shown a very strong development in the past years and will be an integral part of our future Consumer Brands business unit,” said Henkel CEO Carsten Knobel.

“We are excited about the opportunity to add these strong and successful premium brands to our Professional portfolio. This business is a perfect strategic fit to our existing portfolio, adding highly complementary brands and hair categories whilst significantly expanding our position in the attractive Asia-Pacific market. The transaction will enable us to create an innovation and growth platform for our Professional business in this very exciting region aiming for further business growth and development through the agreement with Shiseido. We will significantly increase our market position in Japan and China, the world’s top 2 and 3 Hair Professional markets and important centers of trends and innovations,” said Wolfgang König, Executive Vice President Beauty Care at Henkel.

The transaction marks another step in strengthening Henkel’s Hair Professional business in recent years. In 2014, Henkel acquired the three US companies Sexy Hair, Alterna and Kenra. In 2017, Henkel successfully closed the acquisition of Nattura Laboratorios and the North American Hair Professional business of Shiseido.

The Professional Hair Care business of Henkel holds leading market positions in various international market segments. The business is among the top 3 beauty companies worldwide and offers a broad portfolio of hair care, hair styling and coloration brands exclusively for hairdressers, such as Schwarzkopf Professional, Bonacure, Igora Royal and Authentic Beauty Concept. It generates sales of more than 1 billion euros and will be part of the future Henkel Consumer Brands business unit, the new multi-category platform which will be established through the merger of the Laundry & Home Care and Beauty Care business units latest by beginning of 2023.

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Aveda Sets New Standard for Transparency in Hair Care with Blockchain-Enabled Traceable Vanilla from Madagascar

Christine Schott Ledes — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 15:54:29 +0000

Aveda is the first hair care company to use the technology with Wholechain, which traces vanilla from Madagascar to the bottle in more than 125 products

Aveda – the high-performance, plant powered hair care brand with a mission of care, alongside its parent company, The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), has announced the success of a pilot program to leverage blockchain technology in its vanilla supply chain in Madagascar in partnership with natural ingredients supply chain partner LMR Naturals by IFF, local Malagasy vanilla supplier, Biovanilla, global sustainable business partner, BSR, and blockchain innovation partner, Wholechain. Blockchain technology provides further traceability by collating data from supply chain partners in real-time via a secure, digital system. Aveda is one of the first beauty companies to launch a successful, commercial blockchain pilot at such scale, and the program will bring blockchain-enabled, traceable vanilla to more than 125 Aveda products starting this spring.

Transparency in Supply Chain

Blockchain technology provides an immutable reference that can be used to verify claims of the source and quality of ingredients, such as the Malagasy vanilla Aveda uses in its products. 80% of the world’s vanilla comes from the island of Madagascar, and small farms are responsible for most of the production. Complexities in the vanilla supply chain are multilayered, ranging from price fluctuations to major climate challenges and intensive farming needs, which is why vanilla was selected for this pilot program.

Using mobile phones and QR codes, Wholechain creates a tamper-proof record using blockchain tracing of each vanilla bean’s journey throughout the supply chain. Beginning with a cooperative of 450 smallholder farmers in Madagascar, the technology traces the beans along the process from the sale to the local co-op; to LMR, Aveda’s fragrance house partner in Grasse, France; and finally, across the Atlantic to Aveda’s manufacturing facility in Blaine, MN. These products, including Aveda’s Invati franchise, will be on store shelves in the Spring of 2021.

Ultimately, this traceability is important because it will help to demonstrate sustainable, responsible sourcing, high quality ingredients, and more transparency for all stakeholders. Beyond these long-term benefits, this pilot provides a strong proof-of concept for the use of blockchain to increase traceability in complex supply chains, benefitting the wider business community by establishing robust best practices for responsible sourcing in the beauty sector and beyond.

For generations, vanilla beans were traced using a unique stamp called a “Fitomboka” which was embedded directly on the bean and served as a record keeping system for the farmers. The Fitomboka has now been digitized onto a digital card, and data is captured directly from the farmer co-op in Madagascar using mobile phones and QR code IDs. At the co-op, each farmer has a digital ID card that converts their unique traceability code and other key data attributes via a QR reader. This information is then recorded via blockchain technology, making it completely tamper-proof. From the time the vanilla leaves the producer’s hands, it is tracked through the supply chain on blockchain to validate its quality and authenticity.

A Commitment to Sustainable Sourcing

For Aveda, integrating social, ethical, and environmental performance metrics into the process of selecting and maintaining suppliers is key to sustainable sourcing practices. This includes establishing on-the-ground, meaningful environmental and social programs that will benefit the communities from where the brand sources ingredients. Blockchain technology will contribute to this by laying the groundwork to ensure transparency in Aveda’s supply chain, providing transparency from the bottle back to the farm.

Barbara De Laere, Aveda Global Brand President, said, “Aveda has prioritized sustainable sourcing for decades, and we now have the technology to demonstrate this to the consumer. Our products are built on natural ingredients, and the long-term viability of those ingredients and the people cultivating them is vitally important to Aveda. With blockchain, we now have a direct connection to our farmers in Madagascar, providing us, our salon partners and our customers more transparency into our supply chain. This transparency is of utmost importance to us as a brand, and we are proud to give our network visibility to the positive impact that, ultimately, they are having on this local community.”

“This new investment supports The Estée Lauder Companies’ efforts to continuously improve and strengthen our sourcing practices while remaining sensitive to the local communities in which we operate,” said Greg Polcer, Executive Vice President of Global Supply Chain at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. “Blockchain technology adds an extra layer of transparency to our sourcing practices, verifying our vanilla supply chain’s compliance with the highest ethical and environmental standards, and strengthening trust with our suppliers, consumers and investors.”

Jayson Berryhill, Wholechain Co-founder and Partner, said, “It is a privilege to work with Aveda and The Estée Lauder Companies, who are leading the way with their commitment to achieve full traceability with their ingredients. While some companies are taking small steps with traceability pilots, most are small scale and only go back to their first tier suppliers. By contrast, the teams from Aveda and The Estée Lauder Companies can ensure their sustainability criteria are met by tracing all the way back to the vanilla farmers. This is the future of sustainable sourcing.”

Bertrand de Preville, LMR Naturals by IFF General Manager said: “LMR and IFF are proud to leverage our transparent and responsible sourcing principles on vanilla for Aveda and the Estée Lauder Companies, in a country like Madagascar, where this sustainable vanilla supply chain improves the livelihood of hundreds of families.”

A Blueprint for the Industry

“It’s really exciting to see the beauty sector pursuing the use of blockchain at such a large, commercial scale,” said Thibault Gravier, Global Supply Chain Director, BSR. “Improving supply chain transparency across sectors really depends on the investment and leadership of companies like Aveda and The Estée Lauder Companies. The success of this pilot provides a true proof of concept for others to follow.”

Whereas many commercial blockchain pilots are theoretical (relying on sample data) or extremely small in scale, ELC and Aveda’s program is one of the largest scale pilots to be launched in the beauty industry. The implementation of digital tracing capabilities at the beginning of the supply chain process helps to facilitate positive impacts across the value chain including greater transparency for the end consumer. Additionally, digital traceability enables a level of visibility needed to facilitate the management and mitigation of complexities in supply chains arising from unforeseen events such as climate changes or global pandemics. Tracing and verifying the steps in the supply chain from 450 smallholder vanilla farmers all the way to Aveda’s manufacturing facility, the extensive pilot provides a true proof of concept that can be leveraged by others in the industry to improve transparency and raise sourcing standards.

12 Years of Giving Back in Madagascar

Since 2008, Aveda and its partners Global Greengrants Fund and WaterAid, have provided community and institution-led sustainable and equitable access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) through gravity-fed water supply systems for 60,000 people in marginalized communities throughout Madagascar including Ampasimanjeva, Ambodiranonambilona, Betampona, Taindambo and Vohimasina. Aveda is currently working on an additional water project in Madagascar with global partner charity: water to bring WASH to nearly 26,000 people the Miandrivazo and Antananarivo Avaradrano districts through large-scale piped systems. These systems will use solar power or electricity grid power to pump water from boreholes and springs into a reservoir tank, and then distribute the water by gravity to tap stands located throughout the communities.

A More Sustainable Future

Enabling blockchain technology is one of several sustainability goals that Aveda has achieved this year. Aveda recently launched its online Ingredient Glossary, which details what the brand’s key ingredients do and where they are sourced from. Additionally, earlier this year, Aveda “flipped the switch” on a new 3.6 acre, 900kW ground-mounted solar array at its headquarters in Blaine, Minnesota. The solar panels collect sunlight throughout the day, converting the light into electricity and supplying it to the manufacturing facility on campus, sending excess energy back to the grid. The new array is part of the brand’s vision to be a renewable energy generator.

Aveda’s headquarters are situated on a 58-acre campus in Blaine, Minnesota alongside honeybee colonies, an employee-curated vegetable garden, electric vehicle charging stations and miles of running trails. The land is National Wildlife Federation Certified, and employees enjoy frequent sightings of a variety of wildlife including turkeys, deer, turtles and groundhogs. The main office building has an emphasis on sustainability: it is powered by solar and wind energy, is carpeted with recycled fibers, has composting and recycling bins throughout the building and an organic cafe on the first floor.

Symrise Introduces Anti-Dandruff Active Derived from 100 % Natural Raw Materials

Christine Schott Ledes — Mon, 18 May 2020 02:16:29 +0000

Symrise will present Crinipan® PMC green, its novel anti-dandruff active, with an online webinar on May 27th. The new molecule’s efficacy is based on an innovative mode of action, and it shows comparable results to established anti-dandruff actives. Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients are in a pioneer position to combine such effectiveness with an entirely bio-based solution.

Consumers have increasingly high expectations regarding their cosmetics: Products should reflect the trend to be more natural, sustainable, and at the same time, be as effective as conventional solutions. With Crinipan® PMC green, Symrise fulfills this desire for an anti-dandruff active. The new ingredient has clinically proven effectiveness and targets the cause of dandruff with an innovative mode of action: The ingredient´s anti-dandruff effect is activated by the dandruff-causing yeast Malassezia itself.

Until now, producers of anti-dandruff products mainly had to rely on three established anti-dandruff actives: zinc pyrithione, climbazole and piroctone olamine. Aside from some multifunctional ingredients, no major anti-dandruff active has been released onto the market for decades.

By launching Crinipan® PMC green, Symrise opens up completely new perspectives for cosmetic manufacturers and their dandruff control strategies. They will be able to achieve benchmark efficacy by using a 100 % bio-based, environmentally friendly anti-dandruff active. This is particularly relevant for serving the naturalness trend in personal care.

“More than 45 years of expertise in the area of Micro Protection enable us to launch Crinipan® PMC green. We also thank Professor Dr. Peter Mayser, a renowned dermatologist and dedicated expert in Malassezia research for his constant support during our joint research project with the University of Giessen on dandruff”, explains Dr. Christin Koch, Head of Microbiology Research at the Global Innovation Cosmetic Ingredients Division of Symrise. “Our first active ingredient, climbazole, dates back to the year 1975. Crinipan® AD (climbazole) has for years been a proven and established ingredient on the cosmetics market. After many years of extensive research and development we are now launching the next generation active, which particularly stands out with its innovative mode of action.”

“Developing green products like Crinipan® PMC green is in line with the Symrise corporate sustainability strategy,” says Dr. Florian Genrich, Senior Global Product Manager Skin Protection at Symrise. “In future we are going to continue our path of developing more and more natural ingredients to serve our customer´s and consumer´s needs.”

As the most innovative active ingredient in the category scalp/skin barrier/redness, Crinipan® PMC green recently won the prestigious first place in the BSB Awards 2020. Symrise will present the product in an online webinar on 27 May 2020 via in-cosmetics organizer Reed Exhibitions Ltd.

After getting his start behind the chair in Riverside, California, he is now excited to call Nova Arts Salon in the downtown Los Angeles Arts District area his home.

He has a large celebrity clientele including Mila Kunis, Vanessa Hudgens, Bella Hadid, Sharon Stone, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Olivia Munn, Hailey Baldwin, Ashley Benson, Kate Walsh, Shay Mitchell and Amber Valetta.

L’Oreal’s Golden Squad

According to L’Oreal Paris research, 70% of women over 55 say they feel invisible in society, 87% say they are unrepresented in advertising, and 70% also feel invisible to the beauty industry.

In response, L’Oreal Paris has announced that it has created its very own Golden Squad, a group of women ‘celebrated for their esteemed careers in film and entertainment coming together to deliver a strong message to women over 50: “Bolder than Ever!”,’ says Adrien Koskas, Managing Director for L’Oreal Paris UKI consumer products division.

Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren, Julianne Moore, Isabelle Adjani, Iris Berben and Vanessa Williams –all over the age of 50, feature in the new campaign which is part of their Age Perfect range of products which includes skincare, makeup and haircare.

‘I applaud L’Oréal Paris for embracing the fact that women want to look as good as they can at whatever age that they are,’ enthused Mirren, 72, leading the group in a gold biker jacket worn with a black dress and pink socks under red stilettos. The Prime Suspect star joins together with fellow actresses Jane Fonda, 80, looking chic in a black blazer and leather pants, and Julianne Moore, 57, who went for a more casual look in a black jacket, white t-shirt and jeans in the campaign shot by L’Oreal.

Mirren, Fonda and Moore have all been ambassadors for the brand before. New faces include French actress Isabelle Adjani, 63, and German Actress Iris Berben, 67, who is shot alongside American singer and actress Vanessa Williams, 55.

Mirren added, ‘You do have to be brave. When people say “getting old is not for pussies”, there’s a certain amount of truth to that.’

Fonda suggested, ‘You have to be brave and not so invested in looking the way you used to but try to look as good as you can at the age that you are.’
