Many of the brand innovations Cosmetics Design reported on this past year have come from the indie beauty sector, so several of the articles featured here are from the weekly Indie Beauty Profile column. The Indie Beauty Profile will return in the New Year; but in the meantime, if you lead or know of a compelling independent cosmetics, personal care, or fragrance brand, feel free to contact Cosmetics Design editor Deanna Utroske (deanna.utroske@wrbm.com) to be considered for the column.
And here is a selection of articles highlighting women’s innovation and leadership in the cosmetics and personal care industry this year:
