Does anyone know the research and development history of major cosmetics brands, as well as current developments and trends? It would be great if you know one of them. Thank you for your help.

Hello~ Hehe~~ Let me talk about some of my favorite brands~~

The first is Biotherm~

Brand Story:

Bio means life of skin; therm means mineral hot springs; Biotherm is the beautiful fusion of human technology and nature.

Beauty should be free, simple and interesting. It contains unabashed innocence and self-confidence, a passion to get close to nature, and to breathe and enjoy the fresh beauty of nature. They are the natural radiance of sunny girls in modern cities who advocate health, have bright smiles, and enjoy life.

Beauty cannot be separated from water, because water is the source of all things. It breeds life and is also one of the indispensable elements for the reproduction and continuation of life. The hot spring water containing minerals is the essence of nature.

In the mountains of southern France, there is a mineral hot spring that has special effects on the human body, especially the skin. The air there is fresh and green, and BIOTHERM was born here in 1950.

After more than 20 years of extraction research and development, BIOTHERM has finally successfully extracted the mineral spring organic active factor P.E.T.PTM through biological patented technology. Now, BIOTHERM has become one of the three major skin care brands in Europe. It designs different colors for products suitable for different skin types according to different skin types, skin care and lifestyle habits of different women, and different needs. Every woman is protected by pure health.

BIOTHERM makes you become clearer when caressed by pure spring water. BIOTHERM makes you feel more comfortable when embraced by nature. BIOTHERM allows you to experience the most noble modern life style - return. Pure, return to nature!

Brand history:

A long time ago, the ancient Greeks and Romans understood the therapeutic effects of mineral hot springs on the human body. They built many large bathing places to bathe in minerals. Hot springs are a way of health preservation and enjoyment.

But by the Middle Ages, any activity that was beneficial or enjoyable to the human body was regarded as a sin. Therefore, enjoying mineral hot spring baths was also regarded as a transgression and was prohibited by the Puritans and gradually disappeared.

Until the 18th century, a French count accidentally discovered that skin diseases were cured because his dog often bathed in mineral hot springs, so he began to use mineral hot springs to condition his skin. It was not until the end of the 18th century that people began to be enthusiastic about bathing in mineral hot springs again.

After research and practice, people have discovered that the mineral hot springs originating in the mountains of southern France have special effects on the human body, especially the skin. For many years, BIOTHERM biologists have been studying the vitality of skin and its inner needs. They went deep into the French mountains and discovered that these special effects on the skin came from thousands of organic substances in the mineral springs that were completely similar to skin cells. They then used patented technology to extract them and apply them to the research and development of cosmetics. Finally, after more than 20 years of hard work, they detected a magical substance from mineral hot springs, which is the mineral spring organic active factor P.E.T.PTM.

BIOTHERM is headquartered in Monaco, a pocket kingdom known for its quality. Monaco is a beautiful pocket country in southern Europe, where it is rich and beautiful, elegant and pure. BIOTHERM's products are also produced here, which perfectly matches the image of Monaco. Monaco's world-famous pursuit of excellence in product quality, packaging, etc. also coincides with BIOTHERM's product image.

For half a century, BIOTHERM has developed rapidly in Europe and even the world. In the mid-1990s, BIOTHERM was the first to be launched in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and other places in Asia. It was deeply loved by local young women and won the A huge success. In 2001, BIOTHERM will expand its market in Japan and launch its products in mainland China and Hong Kong.

Brand characteristics:

Magical P.E.T.PTM

The mineral spring organic active factor P.E.T.PTM rich in BIOTHERM Biotherm products can indeed be called a miraculous substance. Its active ingredients are very close to the structure of human skin cells and contain trace elements, proteins, mineral salts and sugars, which can effectively regulate the functioning of skin cells and achieve perfect balance. Just like the conductor of a symphony orchestra, mineral spring organic active factor P.E.T.PTM uses the most natural and gentle way to allow various elements of cells to live in harmony, making them full of life vitality at all times.

Different women have different skin types. Even the same skin type will have different needs due to different environments, skin care and lifestyle habits. Based on these different needs, BIOTHERM's biologists have developed a series of skin care products that can change the appearance of the skin and respond to the different inner needs of the skin, soothing the skin and rejuvenating the skin, based on the mineral spring organic active factor P.E.T.PTM. Pick up the natural rhythm and achieve perfect balance. If you can continue to receive the conditioning care of BIOTHERM, your skin will be purer, healthier and brighter.

BIOTHERM has designed 3 different colors for products suitable for different skin types. Soft light pink is a color suitable for dry skin products, which can provide warm moisture and care to the skin; fresh light green is a symbol of life and nature, and BIOTHERM uses it for the packaging of neutral mixed products; and clear The light blue is the most suitable color for oily to combination skin.

"Lifestyle" skin care concept

BIOTHERM Biotherm's biologists pay attention to modern urban women, and based on biological science, research and develop products that are not only suitable for their different "skin types", but also Skin care products that meet their different "lifestyles". For example, the HYDRA DETOX deep purification series is aimed at women who are stressed and polluted in urban life and need detoxification, purification and deep moisturizing; the AQUA RELAX active spring aromatic series is aimed at women who need relief and relaxation after a tiring and stressful day; the EAU VITAMINEE vitality series is aimed at For women who desire natural health and added vitality, there is also the WHITEDETOX whitening and purifying series that meets the needs of Asian women. It comprehensively protects the skin of the face and body, conveys the skin care concept of "noble life style comes from simple and natural maintenance", and brings the same smart beauty to fashionable women of different temperaments.

To date, BIOTHERM has formed a complete series of care products.

Brand introduction:

Brand history:

Born in New York after World War II.

Esty Menzel was born in 1907 in Queens, New York, to a Hungarian Jewish immigrant family. Her father ran a hardware store. She was the ninth child in the family. Esty's uncle is a pharmacist who likes to prepare various chemical preparations in the laboratory. In the 1930s, Esty received a moisturizer formula from her uncle. She made the product according to the formula and sold it to female customers in a beauty salon in Manhattan, New York.

In 1946, Esty, already Mrs. Lauder, and her husband Newsef Lauder founded their own company in New York with $50,000 - Esty Lauder Company, that is, Later, the company was translated into Chinese as "Estee Lauder". The company initially sold just four products: cleansing oil, facial cream, lotion and all-in-one moisturizing serum. In the first one or two years, Estee Lauder's business was not big. In 1948, Mrs. Lauder relied on her outstanding eloquence to persuade the famous New York department store "SAKS Fifth Avenue" to allow her to open a specialty counter. Estee Lauder's popularity as a high-end beauty and skin care brand has skyrocketed since then.

In 1953, Estee Lauder launched YouthDew. This is a scented bath oil that can be used as a perfume. "Youth Dew" was a great success after its launch, breaking the dominance of French perfumes in the world, making high-end perfumes no longer a luxury product that only a few ladies can use, and Estee Lauder also gained a reputation for innovation and quality. Since then, Estée Lauder's fragrances have been highly regarded by the fashion industry. For example, for its BEAUTIFUL perfume, its advertisements always feature brides. It is said that the creation of BEAUTIFUL fragrance was inspired by Mrs. Lauder's best memories in her life and her touching vows. “I don’t want BEATIFUL to smell like roses, gardenias, or any single floral fragrance. I want BEAUTIFUL to be the most wonderful, richest, and most harmonious fragrance that combines thousands of floral fragrances in the world. said Mrs. Loud.

In fact, Mrs. Lauder's most famous saying is: "Every day I work in my life is selling." She not only has a keen insight into fashion trends, but also has a good reputation in the business world. He is also a marketing expert. She has two major innovations in the promotion of cosmetics: one is to distribute small samples for free, because she believes that "good products will speak for themselves"; the other is that when purchasing products, customers can receive gifts of the same brand. These innovations have become classic means of cosmetics marketing today.

In the 1960s, Estee Lauder began to vigorously expand the international market, entering the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Germany and Japan. Most Estee Lauder counters are located in high-end department stores, such as Harrods in London and Galeries Lafayette in Paris. The more fashionable and expensive the place was, the more it suited Mrs. Lauder's taste.

In addition, the company continues to expand its product line. In 1964, it launched men's perfume and beauty and skin care products. In 1968, it established a Clinique laboratory to develop and produce fragrance-free products that have passed anti-allergy tests. Beauty and skin care products. In 1990, in order to adapt to the global environmental protection trend, Estee Lauder established Origin Co., Ltd. The products developed by this company emphasize pure natural plant formulas without animal testing, and all packaging can be recycled.

In 1985, Estee Lauder's annual sales revenue exceeded US$1 billion. In 1995, the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Currently, Estee Lauder products are sold in 130 countries and regions around the world. The company's net sales revenue in fiscal year 2004 was US$5.79 billion. It is a veritable cosmetics empire. Estee Lauder, LaMer, Clinique, Origins, MAC and other brands are all owned by Estee Lauder, accounting for half of the well-known cosmetics brands in the United States.

To this day, Estee Lauder still maintains a strong family flavor, with four of its top management being family members. In April 2004, Mrs. Lauder, who single-handedly founded Estee Lauder, died at her home in Manhattan at the age of 97. Mrs. Lauder was named one of the 20 most influential business wizards of the 20th century by Time magazine in 1998, and was the only woman.

When Mrs. Lauder founded the company in 1946, she had an unshakable belief that "every woman can be beautiful." By the time of her death in 2004, this simple idea had virtually changed the face of the cosmetics world. In the United States, Estee Lauder has become a typical representative of fashion perfection.
