The Island Cosmetics, Olica and Omaïdo are three small brands of Reunion cosmetics behind international innovations, which are currently germinating on our island. I find that, In view of the potential of their creations, We don't talk about it enough. Especially since they are authentic innovations, that is to say, products that bring something truly new to the world of cosmetics. In terms of quality, they are at the level of what is best. Not to mention that these three innovations claim to draw their active ingredients from Reunion's natural resources. : Reunion is at the heart of their projects. I thank Camille Legrand (Olica), Marina Féat-Gultzgoff (Omaïdo) et sarrabeli-vencatacellam (The Island Cosmetics) for agreeing to discuss in our columns what they do, to light our lanterns. It is true that, in the field of cosmetics, innovations are emerging everywhere, carried by small local brands, especially in the tropics and other islands, the Antilles for example.

But I don't see anything comparable to what our trio of PEI innovators have designed in terms of processes and products.. I admit to wondering why the Reunion skincare and beauty sector, with innovations of this level, and without forgetting all the other interesting companies and products that make it up, also remains embryonic and fragmented. We don't really see a sector emerging yet. The words of our three guests smack of courage, intelligence and determination. They will contribute, I hope so, to awaken consciences… Other file, Leader Reunion was back, like every year, at Franchise Expo Paris in March. We take stock of franchise trends, on its dynamics, with some examples, including a project relating to Reunionese cuisine in mainland France. Unlike the current temptations to withdraw into oneself, I see it as a great example of the success of a collaborative business approach. An approach of openness that the BFC OI and Inovista will not contradict, which constitute two fine examples of how sustainable development becomes an economic engine on the island.
