Sephora
Sephora once again recorded strong revenue growth and continued to gain market share. Asia, most European countries, the Middle East and Latin America were particularly buoyant, and online sales were up substantially worldwide. The Maison continued to cultivate close, personalized relationships with its customers, and to expand its range of new and exclusive items across all product categories. It achieved its best performance in skincare. Sephora continued to expand its store network, with 110 openings in 2019, including magnificent flagship stores featuring its new retail concept at Hudson Yards (New York) and China World (Beijing), and opened its first location in South Korea in October. Other highlights included the renovation and expansion of iconic stores at The Dubai Mall, Times Square in New York and La Défense in Paris.
Good Skincare, Sephora s new eco-friendly line
Sephora is actively developing eco-designed products and proves it with the new Sephora Collection Good Skincare line. Efforts focused on the formulations and all the products contain 90% natural ingredients. The packaging materials are also considerably lighter and made with sugarcane waste, cardboard from sustainably managed forests, and vegetable inks. The Maison s sustainable design strategy includes the stand used to display these products in its stores, which is made from renewable, recycled or certified materials and can be easily dismantled for reuse.
