The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Tower 28 builds strength in targeted formulations: its tinted balms and eczema-friendly body wash drive consistent press attention, while its product-led positioning garners uniform positive coverage. The brand's main edge is innovation in sensitive-skin care, though its breadth across beauty categories remains narrower than competitors.
