Innovation Trends for Facial Skincare

It is therefore appropriate to revisit some of the innovation trends for facial skincare as first reported in Mintel’s “A Year of Innovation Skincare-2019”.

You will find a summary of the highlights below:

1. Eco beauty – recognizing that the earth is being burdened by excessive waste and is facing scarcity in precious resources such as clean water, formulators are shifting to upcycled, waterless and water alternative ingredients for new product launches.

Consumers are also increasingly interested in products that come in minimal plastic packaging. As a result, packaging modifications are being introduced in the form of pack free solid formats and glass vessels.

2. Natural beauty – appealing to consumers’ growing interest for natural products, ingredients with 100% Natural claims have become highly relevant. Included in this category are trending ingredients such as fermented natural products, which offer consumers a holistic user experience.

3. Clean beauty – refers to products that are ‘pure and natural’ and free of additives, potential irritants and endocrine disruptors.

4. Simple beauty – recognizes consumers’ growing interest in simpler skincare routines and convenient, easy-to-use product formats. These needs drive new product launches with attributes such as multi-purpose function, portability and versatility.

5. Inside-out beauty – taps into versatile products that work as supplements or topical treatments and address the overall well-being of the user to support graceful and positive ageing.
