Indeed, like many other beauty brands, thanks to the scale of this wave of beauty youtubeurs. Sanoflore found itself propelled from the Vercors to the forefront.

Young women, initially presenting the benefits and returns of the brands, unconsciously gave visibility to little-known brands and eventually encouraged their communities to buy them. In the continuation of this process, the brands seized the opportunity to make themselves known and promoted through this network. This is how partnerships and remuneration by visibility have become commonplace, in the cosmetic field.
Youtubeurs beauties have become a marketing tool.

Organic has been a trend for some time now but with the rise of competing organic and certified products, it is important to be able to stand out also because of its origin and history.
Sanoflore has understood this and that's why the brand is attached to make known this historical side and all the origin of the ancestral know-how and play on the sentimental side of the brand.
Indeed, it is important to create a link, a relationship nowadays between the consumers and the brand by provoking his emotions in order to build loyalty and stand out from its competitors.
As well, as social networks have hardened and communities have become culturally influenced, it is no longer enough to have branded content to connect with clients and be relevant.
