Faced with consumers’ growing need for transparency, the cosmetics sector is forced to change and accelerate the digitization of its back-office. Following in the footsteps of the food and wine industries, the cosmetics sector must now equip itself accordingly, and Equadis PIM (Product Information Management) is the solution to meet this challenge!
Challenges encountered by the cosmetics industry
With ingredient lists too long, a lack of precision and transparency in product information, not to mention the lack of common frames of reference between brands, the cosmetics sector has always maintained a certain mystery surrounding the composition of its products.
Although the dream is still the industry’s best selling point, it is no longer the only aspect favored by consumers, who now want to choose their products with complete transparency. With the emergence of new consumer habits centered around health, well-being and respect for the environment, consumers are increasingly vigilant and demanding about the products they put on their skin! A vigilance that is now leading to a form of mistrust that has become essential to overcome.
While the challenges are numerous, they remain within the reach of the cosmetics industry, which should focus its efforts on :
- accelerating digitalization and harmonizing information systems between brands and distributors ;
- providing better, more complete and more diverse product information;
- creating common frames of reference: skin tones, allergens, skin types, etc.
