CUSTOM - exploration and self-discovery are helping people rediscover their individuality in increasingly globalized context with cultural homogeneity.

ORIGIN - in a global melting pot of cultures, people try hard to look for and hold on to their own original identities while celebrating diversity among themselves.

REVIVE - technological advances and social media are driving more communication out of like-minded individuals than ever before and BALANCE - to restore the balance in modern living is to find a way out of the routine to indulge oneself in exclusivity and life enrichment.

“At our Customer Symposium in New Delhi, we revealed a series of global consumer trends set to have an impact on the Indian Personal Care market through BeautyForward®. Customers were inspired with examples of how leading and emerging beauty brands are already responding, as well as got ideas and recommendations on how to address these trends with Clariant’s latest innovations and inspiring formulations,” said Josue Silen, Marketing Manager, Consumer Care, RBL AP.
