Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant has inaugurated its new Beauty ColLABoration House near Los Angeles, California. The facility is designed to provide closer customer service to beauty and personal care companies in the area.
“The Beauty ColLABoration House embodies the company’s commitment to customer-centric innovation in the sector. The facility’s name emphasizes the ’LAB’ component, highlighting its role as a collaborative space where customers work hand-in-hand with inhouse experts to develop new cosmetic formulations using active and functional ingredients as well as exotic oils, butters and clays offered by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant,” said the supplier of cosmetic and personal care ingredients.
The Beauty ColLABoration House is expected to help contribute to the company’s aim to increase annual sales to $180 million by 2028, from around $100 million currently.
“The opening of this new facility on December 10th marked a significant shift in how we approach cosmetic innovation. It’s not just about showcasing our ingredients; it’s about working alongside our customers to create the next generation of beauty products. We’re thrilled with the positive response and collaborative energy we’ve seen in just the first few weeks of operation,” said Christian Vang, President of Clariant’s Business Unit Care Chemicals and the Americas region. “By combining our personal care ingredients portfolio with Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, we’ve created a unique opportunity for collaborative formulation development,” he added.
“At Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant, it is imperative that we align our strategy with local industry trends. The indie brand landscape also involves key players such as consultants and contract manufacturers. One of our objectives is to establish direct connections with them and with the emerging brands,” commented Jackie Kim, Sales Director North America at Lucas Meyer Cosmetics.
