Breaking news and exclusive industry content… CosmeticsDesign has an app for that

As people gain more access to the internet and demand more information to be readily available, Cosmetics Design has made the process of gathering the breaking news even easier with an app that collects all the information in a custom designed platform for your smartphone or tablet.

Social media and smartphones have been increasingly identified as the big growth areas and market research points to the fact that new technologies are helping to drive this niche.

App rising​

The popularity of mobile applications has continued to rise, as their usage has become increasingly prevalent across mobile phone users.

A 2012 comScore study reported that, more mobile subscribers used apps than browsed the web on their devices. Researchers have found that usage of mobile applications strongly correlates with user context and depends on user's location and time of the day.

According to ABI Research the mobile app market will value at $27 billion in 2013

Access, access, access…​

The free-to-download CosmeticsDesign app gives users access to all cosmetics formulation and packaging news wherever you are on the Android​ and Apple iOS​ platforms.

Users have instant access to the latest articles and multimedia content, follow breaking stories live and receive alerts in real time. It also categorizes the news from our three sites (USA, Europe and Asia) so users can keep up-to-date with the trends in each region.

The app also works when offline, allowing access to certain features even when you’re not connected to the Internet.

Users can still follow the Cosmetics Design news service in real time, classified by our usual topics for ease of use: formulation and science, packaging and design, business and financial, market trends, regulation and safety.

The platform also enables access to exclusive videos, podcasts and image galleries fully optimised for Android/ Apple devices, and allow users to bookmark their favourite articles, share views in real time with our newsroom and Cosmetics Design readers, and share favourited content.
