Case study
1:
Natural Cosmetic Workshop on Ingredients and Formulation Challenges
Organic Monitor
conducted
a workshop that addressed the major challenges companies face when
formulating natural cosmetics. The workshop began by looking at what
constitutes a natural and organic product, highlighting the ingredients
that are commonly found in such products.
The workshop leader then gave details of the synthetic chemicals that are
typically absent in natural & organic cosmetics. An assessment was made
of the natural alternatives, their functionality and performance. The
workshop then gave a detailed review of natural & organic standards,
comparing and contrasting the permissible ingredients of each.
The interactive workshop enabled delegates to put forward the major
problems they face when formulating natural and organic cosmetics. Key
pointers and guidance were given to overcome challenges involving formulations,
ingredients and synthetic chemicals. The delegates left the workshop
with clear guidelines on how to produce / re-formulate natural & organic
cosmetics.
Case study 2:
Competitive
Profiles of
Importers
in
the UK
A
producer of natural personal care products was looking to start
exporting to the UK. It had no prior contacts or experience in the UK
market and commissioned Organic Monitor to identify and profile
prospective import partners.
The first step involved listing importers and distributors of natural
personal care & related products from our internal databases. A
shortlist of companies that met the client's criteria was drawn
up. These companies were then contacted and their interest in the
client's product range gauged. Companies that were interested in the
natural personal care products and who were capable of distributing to
the target sales channels were profiled.
The competitive profiles were given to the client along with
recommendations on partner suitability and target sales channels. As a result
of the study, the client has successfully entered a distribution
arrangement with a leading importer and its natural personal care
products are slowly making inroads in British retailers.
