Viva Skincare✨

A skincare brand that seamlessly combines skincare with environmental sustainability. Our business emphasizes and cares deeply for the environment, starting from the natural ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, to campaigns that promote awareness about climate change and waste, which are the primary causes of environmental destruction.

Viva Skincare Anti-Aging Wrinkle Smoothing and Retexturing Action

Our first product is developed from natural Centella Asiatica extract, known for its powerful anti-aging properties. It reduces wrinkles, stimulates collagen production, and effectively restores skin moisture and smoothness. It addresses deep wrinkles and makeup creasing. At the same time, with a vision of creating a positive environmental impact, we use biodegradable packaging that can be repurposed for planting after use, encouraging people to have fun while contributing to environmental sustainability—offering a fresh, colorful alternative to traditional environmental conservation campaigns, which can sometimes feel monotonous.

Our business not only creates products that enhance beauty but also promotes a sustainable future. Driven by the vision of "Beauty for a Sustainable Future."

Our Mission

We are committed to becoming a skincare brand that supports and raises awareness of sustainability in both skincare and environmental aspects, using natural ingredients and packaging, along with various marketing activities.

Brand Development Goals

Our goal is to be the top leader in the skincare industry, recognized for high-quality skin care derived from natural extracts, and a frontrunner in sustainability and environmental consciousness. We aim to create products that meet the needs of skin restoration and care, using natural ingredients, and designing environmentally-friendly packaging. Our long-term objective is to expand our market both domestically and internationally while promoting eco-friendly campaigns.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths:

  1. Natural Ingredients: Products feature natural ingredients like Centella Asiatica, which enhances skin moisture and reduces wrinkles and dark spots, providing effective and safe skincare solutions.
  2. Versatile Products: Products are designed to be multi-functional (e.g., a single product for both face and hands or a toner that doubles as a spray), reducing the need for multiple purchases and enhancing customer convenience.
  3. Eco-Friendly Packaging: The commitment to using recyclable or biodegradable materials such as glass, paper, or compostable plastics aligns with growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible products.

Weaknesses:

  1. Higher Costs: Eco-friendly packaging and natural ingredients may result in higher production costs, which could lead to higher retail prices compared to conventional products.
  2. Consumer Education: Customers might need to be educated about the benefits and proper use of multi-functional products and the environmental advantages of the packaging, which requires additional marketing effort.

Opportunities:

  1. Growing Market for Sustainable Products: Increasing consumer awareness and preference for eco-friendly and sustainable products provide a significant market opportunity.
  2. Innovative Packaging: The ability to repurpose packaging for planting, such as using it to grow Centella Asiatica, can differentiate the brand and attract environmentally conscious consumers.
  3. Expanding Market Reach: Leveraging the growing trend of natural and sustainable products can facilitate expansion into both domestic and international markets.

Threats:

  1. Competitive Market: The skincare market is highly competitive, with many brands also focusing on natural and sustainable products. Differentiating the brand may be challenging.
  2. Regulatory Challenges: Compliance with environmental regulations and ensuring that packaging claims (like biodegradability and recyclability) are accurate and verifiable could pose challenges.
  3. Consumer Skepticism: Some consumers might be skeptical about the efficacy of natural products or the practicality of eco-friendly packaging, potentially impacting adoption rates.

Packaging and Product Design

Product: Our products feature natural and skin-friendly ingredients, including Centella Asiatica extract, which provides natural hydration to the skin. They help reduce wrinkles and dark spots, and restore moisture to dry skin. We design our products to be multifunctional, such as a single product that can be used for both face and hands, or a toner that can double as a skin spray, reducing the number of products customers need to purchase.

Packaging: The packaging is recyclable or made from recyclable materials, such as glass, paper, or biodegradable plastics. We aim for all packaging to be recyclable. Additionally, the packaging can be repurposed after the product is used up. For example, the packaging is designed to be used for planting. If you tear the box into small pieces and plant it in the ground, it can grow into a Centella Asiatica plant.
