    Trends in Natural Beauty Care

    R&D investment aimed towards more effective plant-based actives and extracts is on the rise.

    • Are Chemists the Rock Stars of Beauty?
    Funlayo Alabi, Co-Founder, Shea Radiance11.19.18
    Natural products are now the norm particularly in the personal care category. Thanks to the power of social media, consumers are more aware of what ingredients they should be looking for in their skincare products and those to avoid. Now more than ever, customers are taking the time to compare front panel claims with back panel ingredient lists for consistency. Research shows that the US  organic personal care market is poised to exceed $7.7 billion by 2025. Based on revenue, skin care dominated in 2017, commanding more than one-third of the market, driven by organic ingredients’ antioxidation properties and ability to improve skin health.

    This consumer-driven growth in naturals has led to rising investment in research and development which translates into more innovative products on the shelves of our local natural stores and even big box stores. Research into more effective plant-based actives and extracts to address a myriad of skincare concerns and innovations for more effective delivery systems and maximum results and efficacy, is on the rise.
     
    Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
    At the core of the natural movement is the enduring value of sustainability. Beauty brands and manufacturers now realize that sustainability is not a fad, or a marketing green-washing term. Once a claim of sustainability is made, consumers not only expect full transparency of sustainability programs, they expect the commitment to evolve based on the latest findings and best practices. For example, in the past, some brands based their sustainability efforts on donating items like shoes, clothing and personal care products to the local communities where they were sourcing ingredients or making products. Over the years, data shows that these type of programs actually hurt the local economies by taking business from local manufacturers of shoes, clothing and personal care products. By paying attention to changes, companies can  keep their sustainability efforts relevant and continue to maintain the trust of consumers.
     
    Food Inspirations
    The transition between food and skin care demonstrates that customers are comfortable with the idea that their skin care products do not necessarily need to come out of a sterile lab, but can be produced in a kitchen – the same place where nourishing and nurturing food is made. The food that nourishes the body can nourish the skin. Many natural beauty brands, like the wildly successful Carol’s Daughter line of hair, body and skin care products, were launched in the kitchen. Using super foods like kale, spinach and spirulina as key ingredients in skin care products is on trend for many innovative beauty brands.
     
    Looking East
    K Beauty refers to skin care products that originate from South Korea and have become a mainstay in the US market. The elaborate cleansing, moisturizing and mask wearing routines, promise clear luminous skin that needs very little makeup or cover-up.  Another source of Eastern beauty inspiration comes from skin care ingredients such asfermented foods like yogurt and mushrooms and vividly-colored, nutrient-dense vegetables and fruit.
     
    Masks
    Today’s masks are definitely not your mother’s face masks. The mask market is booming and evolving. Innovation in masks include area-specific masks for the chest, arms, breasts and hands.  Masks are infused with actives that will target specific issues like wrinkles, acne, redness, dark circles and other skin care issues.
     
    Social Media
    Social media influencers like Hye-Min Park with over 3.5 million followers, have made opening up their bathroom cabinets to share go-to beauty products with followers all over the globe, second nature. Instagram-friendly packaging creates opportunities for beautiful shots to be shared by influencers with their followers (which is an important consideration for beauty brands) in today’s social media landscape.
     
    Cannabis
    CBD Oil or Cannabinoid derived from the hemp plant, a cousin to marijuana, will be more prominent in skin care barring any FDA objections to its approval. CBD boasts a number of skin benefits including natural emollients that can help hydrate and smooth the skin; anti-acne; anti- inflammation and pain reduction. CBD oil is similar to other oils that are often used on skin (olive, avocado, and almond) so it works well on dry skin and can also be helpful in treating conditions like eczema.
     
    Technology
    Finally, the use of technology to create a superior experience for customers will continue to grow. One size does not fit all and that also applies to the area of skincare and the choices customers need to meet their unique beauty needs. Using technology to create a more customized experience engages the customer by letting them identify their beauty needs and having products curated to meet their very specific needs.
