UK-based health and beauty retailer Boots opened, on 6 December 2023, its new 'Boots Beauty' store at Battersea Power Station in London, England, UK.

The 11,200ft² store marks a strategic move in Boots' ongoing beauty transformation and showcases more than 250 brands in skincare, cosmetics, body care, haircare, and fragrance. Boots said the store promises beauty solutions catering to diverse budgets.

Newly introduced brands, including R.E.M Beauty, Kerastase, Shu Uemura, and Bubble will grace both the physical store and boots.com website, ensuring accessibility nationwide.

Fusion of health and beauty expertise

Boots leverages its healthcare authority by incorporating a unique blend of health and beauty expertise in the store. 

A dermatologist-trained Boots pharmacist offers free consultations for skin concerns, extending support for conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis. 

Boots' plan includes introducing a pharmacist prescribing service for prescription-only medicines and expanding specialised skincare training for pharmacists across the UK.

Jenna Ward, head of Beauty Reinvention at Boots, said: “The new Boots Beauty store at Battersea Power Station provides a platform for us to test the latest brands and new service innovations before we introduce them to customers shopping in our stores across the country. […] The opening of this new store marks a major milestone in Boots transformation of beauty on the high street.”

Luxury goods, digitalization, and personalization identified as key drivers of the duty-free retail market

Personalization - a growing trend in the online retail space

Although personalization is a theme that has been present in the retail industry for decades, it has become more prevalent and important to consumers in recent years. This increase is tied to the rise of online shopping. Personalized products are currently especially prevalent in the health & beauty sector, due to the links to the health & wellness trend, which is particularly important to young consumers.
