In a bid to tap the fast growing Indian professional beauty care market, FMCG major Dabur today said it has developed products to cater to the segment as it looks to take on the likes of French cosmetic giant L'Oreal and Lakme.
The company, which has only been selling its products through retail outlets, has introduced its new skincare range 'OxyLife' to tap beauty parlours and salons.
"While Dabur has been offering its range of skin care and bleaching products to parlours, a professional range was absent from our portfolio. With OxyLife Professional Facial Kit we are tapping into a big opportunity in professional space," Dabur India Head Of Marketing (Skin Care) Sanjay Singal told PTI.
According to industry estimates, the size of Indian professional beauty care market, comprising salons and parlours, is around Rs 800 crore. It is currently dominated by L'Oreal, Lakme and VLCC.
"Dabur sees the professional beauty market as a fast growing market with tremendous potential. With growing income and changing lifestyle the beauty aspirations of both men and women are growing making this market even more attractive," Singal said.
