In partnership with CEW, Revuze analyzed 1.2 million verified consumer reviews from major retailers — including Amazon, Walmart, Sephora, Target, and Ulta — to highlight how consumer sentiment directly influences product innovation and brand strategy. The findings, shared today, make for essential reading for any company looking to stay ahead in the competitive hair care landscape.

On the fragrance front, WWD has unveiled Chanel’s latest addition to its Chance franchise, Eau Splendide. It sat down with Simona Cattaneo, Chanel’s Fragrance and Beauty president, and perfumer-creator Olivier Polge, to discuss the new launch. And in marketing news, Cosmetics Business reports that The Ordinary has had a mixed response to its “ordinarily priced” eggs campaign, which was “met with praise and criticism from people supporting the reasonably priced goods, and vegans displeased with the brand’s decision to sell animal products,” it states.
