Beauty in mind with Antonia Benvegnù

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”: I believe this statement of Isaac Newton does not apply only to science and physics, but to all things in nature, in our lives, and in business. In the cosmetics industry, today more than ever this quote can perfectly describe the consequences behind any transformation, change, innovation. Due to a higher sensitivity of consumers on sustainability and circular economy, for each product launch R&D managers and entrepreneurs have to take care of its effects on the environmental impact. Otherwise, they risk to lose trust.

Choose reuse

In e-commerce, consumers research and compare products intensively and identify with the product they buy, especially in the premium and natural cosmetics segment. If the carefully selected products arrive in non-sustainable or oversized packaging that fills up the garbage can, this disrupts the customer journey severely. The environmentally friendly solution is to reuse.
