On the development side, there has been an increasing focus on alcohol-free formulas. 83% of Gen Zers buy organic and natural products, displaying an emphasis on “clean” formulations, and as consumers have become more discerning about alcohol in their skincare, fragrance applications have now come under equal inspection.

On Thursday, January 24, The Fashion Group International hosted their 22nd annual Rising Star Awards, honoring the top emerging talents in fashion, beauty and design, at Cipriani in Midtown Manhattan.
