Challenge
Losing to Younger Brands
- Right expertise & ethics but couldn’t connect with younger audience.
- Too many SKUs.
- Too clinical.
- Too steep of a learning curve.
Goal

Insights
- Younger women see skin care as beauty.
- Loyal customers could not build and maintain a line-specific regimen due to channel strategy.
- Current consumers had been loyal to the brand for 15+ years, but didn’t talk about it.
Strategy

- Reposition from cruelty-free vegan skincare to ethical beauty.
- Empower the new audience to see themselves as do-gooders with great looking skin.
