In this episode…

The beauty category is a super competitive and saturated space. Margins are tricky, and many brands are claiming to be clean. There’s very little differentiation at face value. More and more products are released into the market. How do you stay above the noise?

For starters, differentiation comes when customers experience your brand and fall in love with it. But that unlocks another layer of challenge: creating new products and coordinating product lifecycles. Which products should you make, stop, and which ones should you keep. Also, what does the future hold for the beauty category?

On this episode of the eCommerce Profits Podcast, Joshua Chin talks with the Co-founder and CEO of 100% PURE, Ric Kostick. They discuss the challenges of building an organic beauty product, differentiating your brand, maintaining a healthy product lifecycle, industry changes to look forward to, and more.
