Ulta Gets Serious About Clean Beauty With Credo Partnership – WWD

https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/ulta-beauty-store.jpg?w=640&h=415&crop=1

Ulta Beauty and Credo Beauty have teamed up.

The beauty retailers have entered a partnership in which brands carried by Credo will be sold at Ulta, beginning with a Credo endcap featuring eight brands that will roll out to 100 Ulta doors in the fall.

For Ulta, the move marks its first meaningful foray into clean beauty, a growing category the retailer has yet to enter in a significant way. For Credo, which operates nine boutiques in the U.S., selling products in one of the country’s biggest beauty retailers is an opportunity to scale.

Credo brands entering Ulta include Innersense Organic Beauty, One Love Organics, and EleVen by Venus Williams x Credo, an SPF brand that is a collaboration between the tennis legend and the retailer.

“[Credo] is a trailblazer,” said Monica Arnaudo, chief merchandising officer at Ulta. “This is a great partnership for both of us to elevate clean beauty efforts across the industry.”

“The original intention was to find neighborhoods where people are already living a healthy lifestyle, and the concept [of clean beauty] could be easily adopted,” added Annie Jackson, cofounder and chief operating officer at Credo. “The dream was not to keep it really selective, but to widen the reach.” 

In 2015, Credo opened its first store in San Francisco. Founded by two Sephora veterans – Shashi Batra, who died in 2017, and Jackson – the idea was to create a beauty emporium for customers seeking natural brands. Credo has expanded across the country with locations in New York, Illinois, California, Texas and Massachusetts, and has issued a lengthy protocol on ingredients that has become somewhat of an unofficial industry standard for retailers looking to expand into clean beauty.

Mainstream beauty retailers, including Sephora, Bluemercury and Nordstrom, have all launched clean beauty initiatives in the past few years. While Sephora launched its Clean at Sephora program in 2018 — as of last year, 3,000 products across 68 brands were deemed clean by the retailer — Ulta has yet to launch its own clean beauty initiative. It has taken some steps, including the launch of Boston-based clean beauty retailer Follain’s house brand in about 400 of its doors in early March.

Meanwhile, the clean beauty category is small but growing. In March, before the coronavirus pandemic began to take hold in the U.S., numbers from NPD revealed that clean skin-care represented 13 percent of total prestige skin-care sales, and clean beauty brands sold in limited distribution — small boutiques, for instance — were up 10 percent. By April, total prestige beauty sales were down 14 percent due to coronavirus-induced store closures, but clean beauty was up 11 percent, one of the industry’s only bright spots.

“The timing is right because there’s so much awareness of clean beauty products and sustainable packaging,” said Jackson. “It’s more important now than ever given everything we’re experiencing as a planet.”

Credo stores are located mainly in busy retail corridors in large cities, such as SoHo in New York and Fillmore Street in San Francisco. Ulta’s nearly 1,200 stores are mostly located in suburban strip malls. There is not much crossover expected between the retailers’ respective consumer sets.

“There might not be a lot of awareness for Credo in an Ulta store, but it’s an awesome opportunity to educate,” said Jackson. “We know the interest is there.”

Neither Ulta nor Credo would comment on the financial aspects of the partnership, though it does seem that Ulta considers the relationship to be significant — chief executive officer Mary Dillon hinted at it on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in March. 

With many stores still closed or in the process of reopening, it is yet to be seen if consumers will flock back to beauty retailers to shop in person. Also launching in the fall is a landing page on Ulta’s web site, where the Credo products will be available for sale online.

New Post has been published on http://www.visionmp.com/sharma-got-a-total-of-1531-votes-while-former-test-cricketer-madan-lal-could-only-poll-1004-votes/

Journalist Rajat Sharma is new DDCA boss, RTI put on hold

New Delhi: Senior journalist Rajat Sharma on Monday beat World Cup winning India cricketer Madan Lal by 517 votes to become the new president of Delhi and Districts Cricket Association.

The results of the DDCA polls were announced on Monday and Sharma’s group swept the elections, winning all 12 seats.

With DDCA being the first among equals to go into elections after the Supreme Court appointed Lodha Committee suggested path-breaking structural reforms, the polling also witnessed abolition of proxy system with nearly 3000 voters turning up to cast their vote.

Sharma got a total of 1531 votes while former Test cricketer Lal could only poll 1004 votes. The third candidate in the fray, advocate Vikas Singh, got 232 votes only.

In another major development, the new body will revisit the decision to have DDCA under Right To Information ambit as per Law Commission’s recommendations.

“I will try my best to uphold the democratic traditions of DDCA,” Sharma told mediapersons after accepting the charge from Delhi High Court appointed administrator Justice Vikramajit Sen.

While Justice Sen had brought DDCA under RTI ambit, the newly elected body is unlikely to toe the line and a meeting will soon be held to revoke the administrator’s diktat.

“The BCCI is not under RTI and DDCA doesn’t get any government grant. And why did Justice Sen just before leaving think about getting DDCA under RTI ambit? Why didn’t this cross his mind during all these months when he was taking policy decisions. We will certainly not come under RTI,” secretary Vinod Tihara said.

Coming back to the elections, it was a major setback for BCCI acting president CK Khanna, whose wife Shashi lost the vice-presidential battle against Rakesh Bansal, younger brother of former DDCA president Sneh Bansal, who was charged with round tripping of association funds during his time at the helm.

Rajesh beat Shashi by 278 votes while Bansal junior got 1364 votes to Shashi’s 1086 votes.

The defeat might prove to be the end of the road for Khanna in DDCA, where he enjoyed supreme power for nearly three decades.

Sharma and his panel’s candidature was backed by a political heavyweight from the ruling party with the IOA president Narinder Batra throwing in all his might. Batra incidentally is a former DDCA treasurer.

“The moment Sharma got blessings from a senior cabinet minister, there was no chance in hell for any other candidate to win this election. What was not expected was a clean panel sweep. It will be good that Sharma will get a free hand to run the body. This also means that CK Khanna’s reign in DDCA ends unless he strikes some deal with Sharma,” a senior DDCA official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

Sharma was always considered as the favourite to win against Lal, who was backed by Khanna and former India opener Chetan Chauhan’s group.

Among the other notable winners was former sports committee head Vinod Tihara, (1374 votes) who became secretary defeating nearest rival Manjeet Singh (998) by 376 votes.

Tihara is expected to run the daily affairs of DDCA including a big say in all the representative teams – especially Ranji Trophy and men’s age group.

The joint secretary’s post went to Rajan Manchanda (1402), younger brother of former treasurer Ravinder, who beat Pushpender Chauhan (953) by 449 votes. Pushpender is the younger brother of Chetan Chauhan.

For treasurer’s post, Om Prakash Sharma beat Deepak Singh by 1241-891 votes.

Sanjay Bhardwaj was elected for the director’s post (first-class cricketer) while Renu Khanna became the women director.

The other directors elected were Apruv Jain, son of former media manager Ravi Jain, who polled 1286 votes, Alok Mittal, Nitin Gupta, Shiv Nandan Sharma and Nitin Agarwal.
