Henkel Opens “Beauty Insights” Center in Düsseldorf
25 July 2018
How exactly do consumers use styling products, shower gels or toothpastes? In Henkel’s “Beauty Insights” center, the company’s Beauty Care experts can now observe these consumer habits and directly transform insights into the design and development of new products. Henkel’s new consumer tests center located at its headquarters in Düsseldorf has recently opened.
For many years, Henkel’s Beauty Care business unit has been incorporating extensive feedback from consumers into their innovation process. There already are two test salons in Düsseldorf and Hamburg, where new hair colorations are applied. With its recently opened “Beauty Insights” center, Henkel is not only extending the already existing facilities in Düsseldorf but is also gaining insights into the use of further product categories – from body care to shampoos and styling products.
“Our customers use our Beauty Care products in their own individual way. Different trends, but also regional practices are the reason why we observe significant differences in consumer behavior. We can now analyze these differences in detail in our North American test center in Stamford and the ‘Beauty Insights’” center in Düsseldorf and integrate these differences directly into our product development process,” says Thomas Förster, Head of Global R&D at Henkel Beauty Care.
