Tea Seed Powder A wave of new products, tips and techniques has swept the international beauty community. Color palettes

designed for all complexion tones, treatment products that target sensitive, oily, dry, delicate, uneven, and irritation-

prone skin, and hair care styling and treatments for all hair types, are increasingly found on today's beauty shelves. From

dermatologist lines to high tech botanical delivery, there's a treasure trove of beauty products and information designed for

and created by aficionados around the world. A diverse audience for beauty has been driving options and product innovation.

According to The NPD Group, as the population of the US becomes more and more ethnically diverse, women of different ethnic

groups continue to change the face of beauty. In a new report from NPD, "Makeup and skin care products are not as widely

accepted across all ethnic segments as one might think, and all women of color do not behave similarly when it comes to

beauty products, not only category usage, but brand preferences vary widely across ethnic groups as well."
