Volition Beauty collaborated with creator Bramty Juliette to develop a Blue Spirulina Body Oil from ideation to packaging. While some influencer partnerships result in a creator simply putting their name on a product and a marketing push to their large audience, Volition Beauty takes a different approach by inviting creators into all aspects of the process, with their community providing valuable insights and feedback in real-time.
Knowing that Gen Z, in particular, demands transparency and authenticity, the brand wholly embraces a co-creation model. This project was undertaken as part of Volition Beauty's accelerator program.
The Blue Spirulina Body Oil taps into the power of nutrient-dense blue-green microalgae and supports the skin barrier with hero skincare ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, rice protein and oils.
