Beauty News analytics show that in 2023 readers’ interests spanned a breadth of topics, from career advice to retail news to executives on the move, with a particular fascination towards the latest in C-suite appointments. The naming of Artemis Patrick to President at Sephora North America in September drew lots of clicks (she will be the first woman to take on the role), while beauty brands Merit and Pattern made headlines with the naming of a new CMO and co-President, respectively. Keeping on top of the most significant changes in cosmetics safety regulations was also important to readers — and CEW delivered the news to keep brands informed (hint: beginning in 2024, beauty companies will need to register their facilities, list ingredients, and maintain records to substantiate the safety of products.) Other top read stories included a look into what brands need to know about the launch of TikTok Shop, what’s selling best among the nation’s leading retailers, and the most relevant brand and trend predictions.
