The world reopened for business months ago…if only supply could keep up with demand. The Happi staff has attended dozens of events during the past year and the chatter that matters always revolves around supply chain issues. When can I get it? That’s the most-asked question in the beauty industry since the “Does she, or doesn’t she?” tagline in that iconic Clairol hair color spot.
Want some good news? You don’t have to scour the world for a contract manufacturing partner—we’ve done it for you. Our annual Contract Manufacturing & Private Label Directory includes hundreds of manufacturing partners who can get your products in production and online or on-shelf no matter how many kinks occur in the supply chain. The CMPL Directory can be found here with a listing of US-based companies, followed by companies based outside the US.
Need a testing service provider? We’ve got you covered there as well. Starting here, we interviewed leading testing companies to the personal care and home care industries to find out the major issues that are impacting this most-important of services. Product safety, of course, is paramount; but efficacy is a close second. After all, claims drive the skin care and sun care businesses more than ever.
Want to find out what’s driving the all-important drugstore channel these days? A few weeks ago, we attended the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Total Store Expo (click here). As one might suspect, post-covid, the idea of wellness was on everyone’s mind. A new Accenture consumer survey (click here) confirms that wellness is the way to go for FMCG companies. Household and personal product companies should keep that in mind when pitching their new ideas to chain and independent pharmacies.
We hope you enjoy this edition of Happi. Be sure to regularly visit Happi.com to keep up with the daily news that impacts your business on a daily basis and follow us on social media @HappiMagazine. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
