Natura is a premium, high-margin cosmetics and personal care product line that are mostly sold to middle/upper class demographics.

France is an established market so there is a greater demand for high quality products (i.e. Natura) and companies are being forced to innovate more when it comes to the cosmetics industry and they trying to diversify their products to beat competition. Premium products are in more demand and France is leaning more towards the products that have a wide range of benefits. Natura would be able to accommodate their new older market segmentation as well as men and teenage girls because their products have “anti-aging” abilities. Their products, such as the Tododia and the Natura Mamae e Bebe, have textures and fragrances that enhance the sensual experience and would greatly would appeal to the French market. The products for men also cater to the emerging markets in France. The male products emphasize being reasonable and efficient while giving the, sensory pleasure. This would mean that most likely, these products would receive a relatively positive response from that market segment. Since future sales are supposed to come from skin care and sun care, which are apparent in different Natura products, it would be a good time for Natura to enter the French market. Natura should focus on the products mentioned above because according to studies, France is more sensitive to “sensory marketing including new product designs, therapeutic scents and sensual textures.” They would be targeting “young seniors” as well as young women and men. They put a lot of emphasis on the positive internal effects of their products which can accommodate the sensory needs and adds differentiation by catering towards the emotional side of the consumer. For example the Mamae e Bebe product utilizes ingredients, textures, fragrances, colors, forms and functions to evoke the tenderness of a mothers love for her child. They are able to articulate the senses that occur physically and emotionally through the mother and the child. To promote the product,
Marketing is part of everyday life; whether you are the one buying or the one selling. “The basic idea of this somewhat complicated definition is that marketing is all about delivering value to everyone who is affected by a transaction”(Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2012, p. 8). The market for Aveeno's products is all natural and pure products.In my opinion, the Natural product line has become a success over the last few years. The company’s spokeswoman is Jennifer Aniston who has a flawless natural glow about herself. I have been a huge admirer of Aveeno products because I have very sensitive skin, so when I see “Active Naturals” on all their products it gives me the interest and desire to buy their products.

The purpose of our project was to examine how accessible it would be to make medieval cosmetics from the Trotula while evaluating the effectiveness of these cosmetics. The Trotula was written in Southern Italy and consisted of a group of three texts describing women’s medicine. The third section of the Trotula focuses mainly on Women’s Cosmetics. The purpose of this section was to teach females how to improve their appearance themselves, except females, did not read these resources. It was not written by a woman, but by a male physician for male physicians. These male physicians wanted to discover “women’s secrets”.

Sephora is working on one of the biggest complaint customers had: lack of ethnic diversity in Sephora Collection products. The company is coming up with more products that will fit all of the skin tones and undertones. Also, several years ago, Sephora’s main target market was wealthy women from 30 to 50 years of age.

If customers will be able to purchase gifts for different genders and ages at the same store, they will be more attracted to that particular
HairCare Products stand to capitalize on an open market in China’s beauty and personal care section. With nearly half of its one billion plus population female, HairCare Products can monopolize this market in China if the company offers the Chinese consumer what they really want; natural products. According to Mintel’s report, a global provider of market research, “Eighty-one percent of urban Chinese consumers prefer to purchase all-natural products”. This is an astronomical number that cannot be ignored, if HairCare Products decides to enter the fray of the Chinese beauty and personal care market. Mintel also reports, “Eighty-seven percent of its middle class tend to go for premium rather than standard goods or services”. According to Mintel’s information, if HairCare Products can produce an all-natural product and all-natural product with a heftier price tag, they can corner or capture two major sections of the Chinese beauty and personal care market.

In the article “Understanding Alternative Choices of Handmade Cosmetics in Postmodern Consumer Society” Pernilla Arbajian and Yaran Di discuss how consumers perceive purchasing handmade cosmetics. Di defines “Handmade Cosmetics” as, “cosmetics made by human and made from natural ingredients, as opposed to cosmetics that are mass-produced, machine-made and made from chemical additives” (Di, 2014). The Bee’s Knees definitively can be described using this definition as a handmade cosmetic company. Companies today are aware of consumers being scattered and varied about their beliefs. This study goes through the steps and processes that consumers go through when deciding if a product if handmade or natural (regardless of how it is actually made) and how consumers assign meanings to their products of interest in their daily lives.
