CEO and co-founder of Natural Advantage, Brian Byrne, Ph.D., passed away on October 11, 2024. "As CEO & Co-Founder of Natural Advantage, Brian was a paragon of humility and could be found anywhere from cleaning out the septic system to developing entirely new molecules. He was always working on something. One phrase that he never uttered was “That’s Not My Job.” When asked what his job was and he quickly replied, “what needs doing.” Brian mentored many young chemists. His approach was to allow the young chemist to make mistakes and then have them fix the mistakes. Brian’s leadership philosophy was: The most can be learned when things don’t go right, and you need to figure out how to fix your mess." Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eGV9_fCN

🤔Beautyworld Middle East returns next week October 28-30! We connected with Rawya Catto to understand innovative fragrance formats that are gaining popularity in the region... Rawya Catto, general manager at CPL Aromas: There is an interesting phenomenon in the Middle Eastern market that is driving the adoption of new and innovative formats. The way consumers use fragrance is very diverse. They fragrance their clothes, their hair, their skin… and use different ways to create their bespoke signature scents. This is driving the design and adoption of innovative packaging ideas, and even fragrance formulations. In terms of packaging, Kuwaiti and Saudi brands led the way on the macro bottles, the 200ml formats. Local UAE brands are driving limitless innovation in bottle design, texture, craftsmanship and colors. The use of Arabic calligraphy is also a stunning cultural nod, more and more utilized in regional design codes. #MiddleEasternMarket #MiddleEasternTrends #layeringfragrance #Kuwaitibrands #Saudibrands
