Cosmetics Design says that these are the 3 big trends 👇 . . . ...impacting beauty & personal care innovation in 2024. As we navigate through 2024, the beauty and personal care industries are experiencing significant innovation driven by three key trends. 1. Gynaeguity The femtech sector is revolutionizing women's health with cutting-edge innovations in sexual health, fertility, and gynaecological wellbeing. Imagine hormone-free fertility treatments that empower women to take control of their reproductive health, or tampons redesigned for ultimate comfort and efficiency. These advancements are not just about products—they represent a shift towards personalized, proactive feminine care. Big brands are leading this charge, creating solutions that prioritize women's unique needs and experiences. 2. Elastic Luxury Despite the rise of affordable alternatives, luxury beauty remains highly coveted. Luxury brands are adapting to this competitive landscape by strategically integrating into the sports and entertainment sectors. A prime example is their high-profile sponsorships of major events like the Paris 2024 Olympics. As luxury brands continue to evolve, they ensure that their allure and sophistication remain irresistible to discerning consumers. 3. Biophilic Bonds In response to tech fatigue, consumers are gravitating towards nature-inspired beauty experiences. Imagine skincare and fragrances crafted with the essence of extinct flowers, made possible through advanced DNA sequencing. This isn't just about products—it's about reconnecting with the earth and embracing authenticity in our beauty routines. Brands are responding to this growing desire for a natural connection, creating immersive, biophilic beauty experiences that resonate deeply with our need for genuine, nature-driven wellness. These trends underscore a dynamic shift in consumer preferences, emphasizing health, luxury, and nature in beauty and personal care products. #cosmeticingredients #beautyinnovation #skincarescience #sustainablebeauty #cleanbeauty #greenchemistry #beautytech #formulationscience #ingredientinnovation #cosmeticscience #beautyindustry #skincareingredients #naturalingredients #beautytrends Source: https://lnkd.in/ddGE3ti2

Did you know this about sea buckthorn and its uses???👇 . . . Sea buckthorn berries have a long history of use in traditional medicine across Central Asia and Eastern Europe. These small orange-yellow berries are considered a superfood due to their rich content of vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids. Research has shown that they can promote hair and nail growth, support eye health, boost the immune system, and enhance concentration. Ancient Greek experts in pharmacology, medicine, botany, and nutrition have recognized the therapeutic and beneficial properties of sea buckthorn berries for centuries. Applications in Cosmetics: • Sea buckthorn oil is widely used alone or in various preparations topically applied for burns, scalds, ulcerations and infections. Palmitoleic acid, an ingredient of the oil, is a component of skin fat and it is considered a valuable topical agent to support cell tissue and wound healing. • Due to its UV-blocking activity as well as emollient properties it can be used in sunscreen products. • Sea buckthorn can also be used in hair care products. Due to its high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamin A, it can help support scalp health. The vitamin E in sea buckthorn oil also helps with scalp circulation, supporting hair growth and conditioning. •Hippophae rhamnoides can be used in anti-aging products because its high level of anti-oxidants helps prevent damage from free radicals and environmental stress.
