News Review: Indie Beauty 2017

04-Dec-2017 - Last updated on 04-Dec-2017 at 17:23 GMT

This year independent cosmetics, personal care, and fragrance brands became so prominent, Cosmetics Design launched a weekly column dedicated to these innovative startups and their founders. The Indie Beauty Profile is on vacation this month. But in the meantime we’ve gathered up several articles that highlight just how momentous indie beauty has become.

Should you like to look back on the indie brands featured this year in the Indie Beauty Profile column, use the search feature on the Cosmetics Design homepage.

If you or someone you know is leading an awesome indie brand, feel free to contact Cosmetics Design editor Deanna Utroske (qrnaan.hgebfxr@jeoz.pbz), to have the brand considered for inclusion in the Indie Beauty Profile column.
