RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As the strong demand for natural cosmetics continues, the natural cosmetic industry becomes competitive with loads of new natural cosmetic brands and products. A new brand, Haruharu, hardly get a noticeable attention and lead new customers to trials for final purchase from this competitive retail environment. Our biggest challenge is to design unique appearance to intuitively represent a core natural ingredient, the black rice, while attracting consumers at the point of sale.
CHALLENGE: Small-sized, indie beauty brands mostly use existing pre-mold containers from production catalogues. However, Haruharu found a light weighted oval shaped pre-mold container. Based on this pre-mold, haruhaur redesigned a nozzle cap to complete seamless rice grain shaped packaging. Cost of investment was little, but the impact of the design satisfies to beautifully depict a black rice grain shape, stand out among other cream products, and keep the cost low.
