Health, Beauty and Wellness Committee
The mission of the Health, Beauty and Wellness Committee (formerly the Health & Beauty Care Advisory Committee) is to conduct research and create knowledge that shapes the future of the healthcare supply chain. This includes conducting strategic research for the supply chain and providing data and analysis on the industry that supports HDMA initiatives.

In 2008, HDMA and the HBW Committee partnered with Hamacher Research Group to release a whitepaper, Health, Beauty & Wellness: Opportunities to Enhance Independent Pharmacy Services, to identify and explore the challenges and changes ahead that will test the industry, as pharmacies face new competitive pressures and reimbursement challenges.

To better reflect this new mission, as well as consumer and industry trends, the Committee has changed its name to the HDMA Health, Beauty and Wellness (HBW) Committee. The Committee includes HDMA distributor and manufacturer members focused on marketing HBW products and services to retail customers.
