WHAT INNOVATION AT P&G MEANS TO ANDY:
“Innovation that makes an impact comes from the 5 Cs—insatiable curiosity, to understand consumer tensions, challenge constraints, define creative solutions, and deliver them via multifunctional collaborations.”
INNOVATION HIGHLIGHTS:Created concentrated solid conditioners (Pro melting pearls) that are now in Pantene hair repairing treatments available in China, Japan, and across Latin America. They are also the basis for a new technology that significantly reduces our water consumption footprint.
Discovered how to create facial moisturizers (Olay Whips) that were light and quick absorbing without compromising the enduring benefit
Introduced a Liquid Crystal technology in Pantene’s Color Expressions products that boosted the effectiveness of conditioners for color-treated hair, publishing the research in a peer-reviewed journal
