Latinas Want Bilingual Beauty Items

Most Hispanic women want to see more personal care products (52%) and haircare products (64%) designed specifically for them — such as an extended color spectrum in cosmetics and hair products that cater to their particular issues — according to Mintel.

In addition, they want packaging to reflect their culture, with 81% saying they would like to see more bilingual text on packaging. That is not because they do not read English well, but because it is a clear statement from the brand that it recognizes them as an important market. [Women, Health/Beauty Aids]
