THE WHAT? The Estee Lauder Companies has announced that it has partnered with boom! Global Network, a community of female supply chain professionals to co-host a day of inspiring conversations about empowering women in supply chain and advancing inclusion and diversity to drive business growth.

THE DETAILS Beth Morgan, Founder & CEO, boom! Global Network, moderated a panel discussion on leadership in a time of disruption with Roberto Canevari Executive Vice President, Global Supply Chain, ELC; Sandra MacQuillan, former Chief Supply Chain Officer, Mondelēz International; and Maria Pia De Caro, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Pernod Ricard.

Our mission at boom! is to help develop inclusive supply chain organisations where everyone wins,” said Beth Morgan. “This forum was a wonderful opportunity to explore and share ideas and best practices that will have a positive ripple effect across the profession in pursuit of this goal.” 

THE WHY? Canevari, reveals, “As a company founded by a woman, we have a long history of advancing possibilities for women in our business and around the world. We are building a global supply chain that is not only resilient, but also reflective of The Estée Lauder Companies’ commitment to conscious inclusion, diversity, and empowering women around the world.”

Medical aesthetic products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics, which combines medical practices with cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of individuals. These products are typically used under the supervision of trained medical professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or specialized nurses. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients or require medical expertise for their application.

Examples of medical aesthetic products include:

• Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to restore volume, fill wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These may include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or collagen-stimulating fillers like Sculptra.

• Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectable neurotoxins used to temporarily paralyze facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial expressions.

• Chemical Peels: Solutions containing chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid, used to improve skin texture, treat acne scars, and reduce hyperpigmentation.

• Laser and Light Devices: Equipment used for various skin treatments, including hair removal, skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions.

• Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients such as retinoids (e.g., tretinoin), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants, designed to address specific dermatological concerns under medical supervision.

• Microneedling Devices: Devices that create tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and elasticity.

• Cosmeceuticals: High-quality skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing biologically active ingredients with proven efficacy.
