1. Objective of Introducing the New Product
Women place a lot of importance on their hair. Worries about thinning and loss of volume increase as they age, especially during their 40s and onward. The market for hair-nourishment treatments for women has been growing steadily, with the usage rate among women in their 50s and older particularly high (among women in their 40s, 50s and 60s, usage rates are 6%, 12% and 17%, respectively).
However, of those women who have used hair-nourishment treatments, 49% feel that many such treatments and related conditioners weigh down their hair, leaving it flat and lifeless. Based on this data, Lion realized that women desire hair that is lighter and full of body after washing. What’s more, a Lion behavioral observation survey of women concerned about thinning hair found that a number of women limit their use of conditioner in order to achieve lightness and volume.
Lion’s research into hair nourishment dates back to the 1980s. Research focusing on the signals that govern the functioning of the hair matrix cells from which hair grows led to the identification of the active ingredient 6-benzylaminopurine, which amplifies signals that stimulate hair growth and suppresses signals that trigger hair loss. Research into the causes of thinning hair in women began in 2004, with a particular focus on the role of hormones.
The product of 30 years of research, Lion’s new Fleuria Medicated Hair Nourishing and Restoring Essence incorporates the dual-action hair-nourishment ingredient 6-benzylaminopurine to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss.
Furthermore, to maintain the health of the hair and scalp and create full-bodied volume, Lion is simultaneously releasing Fleuria First Conditioner and Fleuria Second Shampoo, which are recommended to be used in that order: the conditioner first, followed by the shampoo.
By selling the Fleuria series only through mail order, Lion hopes to be in a position to continuously provide information to and communicate directly with women concerned about their maturing hair and scalp, supporting them in their desire for full-bodied volume. |
