As we look to build community in these social distancing times, CEW is crafting content that looks to be helpful to those working remote, to brands looking for strategies in these unchartered waters and to those seeking tips on how to stay healthy and well as we all get through this crisis. This content will be open for all to access—not just members. However, the business of beauty must go on, so we will also continue to report on brand launches, new distribution channels and business leaders. There's nothing wrong with talking about the business of beauty—yes, lipstick too—and we will not abandon this editorial direction. We hope you find some comfort in our content. Until we all return to our desks and offices, stay safe.
