The JLove fragrance, set to be launched this October is Jennifer Lopez' 20th fragrance. The prolific star made her debut in the fragrance industry in 2002 with “Glow”, which proved a resounding success, hitting $100 million in sales in the first year. Over the years, she refined her approach and evolved tremendously.

Speaking about the ways in which her approach changed over the years, the star told WWD: “When I did my first fragrance, Glow, I didn’t really think much beyond making it the best, most beautiful fragrance ever created. On the other hand, “with number 20, it’s a landmark. I asked myself, ‘Who am I and what do I encompass?’ My message has always been love, whether it’s my music or my movies or whatever. It’s such a big part of who I am. We decided to call it JLove for that very reason, because it encompasses everything about me in one simple little word.”

The JLove perfume is a fruity floral scent created by the star in collaboration with perfumer Honorine Blanc. It is defined by top notes of white raspberry, frozen pineapple, pink grapefruit and tangerine, a heart of coconut orchid, water lily and Tahitian tiare and base notes of vanilla, white wood and musk. According to the 44 year old singer, the new scent is simultaneously glamorous and sexy: “Sometimes I’ll have an idea and be all, ‘Oh, I love this, the way a plant in my backyard smells and how the woods smell, after it’s been raining,’ and I’ll give them those types of ideas. With this one, we created a scent that’s glamorous and kind of sexy at the same time.”

Essie will be launching a professional gel nails service this October. All signs point to the fact that the gel nail polish trend is here to stay and the brand aims to be a leader in this fast-growing segment. In order to achieve the ambitious goal, the label has made investments in both technology and service, according to Gerald Densk, Essie’s general manager for the professional products division of L’Oréal USA who told WWD that:

“This is our first technology-driven launch into the professional market. Gels are a significant market and they aren’t slowing down. To be a quality player, we have to be in the service that’s getting the most attention, the number-one service in the professional nail arena.”

To achieve the ambitious goal, the brand researched the most common complaints concerning gel nails and attempted to tackle them. As a result, the label focused on solving the most common problem associated with gel nail polishes: weak nails.

The Essie Gel range, which consists of 36 gel nail polish tones aims to deliver not only long lasting shine and an intense color for 14 days straight, but also to strengthen the nails thanks to the keratin technology, the pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E included in the formula. As far as the tones from the new Essie Gel line are concerned, many of the new tones will closely resemble some of the brand's best selling nail polishes.

P&G Beauty is striving to stop using potentially harmful cosmetic ingredients by next year. P&G, the parent company of popular brands like CoverGirl, Herbal Essences and SK-II will eliminate phthalates and triclosan from all of its products. Currently, 70 percent of all the products produced by the company are phthalates and triclosan free.

There is some evidence that these ingredients can pose risks to respiratory and thyroid systems, but it is still unclear whether the small concentrations in which these ingredients are used are enough to cause harmful effects or not, but given the fact that these can be found in everything from shampoos to fragrances, the findings were worrisome, which is why many companies found ways to eliminate these ingredients from their products.

Dr.Scott Heid, Ph.D., P&G Communications noted that the measure is meant to offer safer options for worried customers: “While the only phthalate we used in our product formulations is safe (DEP), we know that there is the potential for people to confuse DEP with other phthalates that are banned from certain product types. We want people to also feel safe about using our products and not have any misperceptions about the product ingredients we use.”
