Studying the one of Indonesian fast-growing beauty industry, this research is done by qualitative paradigm. The analysis is done in word level by criterion-based sampling to apply in four stages of analysis technique consisting domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural theme. The researcher found that word formation process is frequently practiced in naming skincare product informing physical, composition, and function aspects. However, it does not result attitude at the same time. Its existence supports the product through the words conveying benefit, opportunity, specialization, and innovation. The more products are offered; word formation is done to create heterogeneous options. On the other hand, attitude reflects sensation, visual emphasis, protection, and capacity.
