To be honest, this article was not meant to be on the topic of essential oils. I was trying to analyse the cosmetic market and to cluster the cosmetic products by typology to be more efficient in the analysis of the competition. My first thought was that, within the past 7 years, the market had grown from 2 to 4 segments: the “pharmacy” products (i.e Avène, Vichy etc.) & the “perfumery” products (i.e Chanel, Dior etc.) to a market which extended to “Bio” products & “Medical” products. But, I ended not being really content with this clustering, limiting a lot the benefits of all the different products we find on the market. And how shall we cluster the following brands then: Clarins, Nuxe & Kielh’s etc.?
Then, I thought that, may be, it would be more efficient to cluster the brands by the main ingredient related to the products: water, essential oils, bio fruits & vegetables, medical care etc.
Conclusion: no answer yet, it is an exercise more complicated than I would have imagined :-)
to be continued…
Anyways, this is how I started investigating on brands that would highly promote essential oils as main ingredient such as Weleda … bringing me to Dr Hauschka. May be you already know but those 2 brands are closer than we think in terms of philosophy & concept.
