Meiyume’s Haircare Expert Comments

March 2023 –
“The Hairtellectuals’ are again leading the charge in 2023, with hair and scalp health leading consumer’s priorities.

Clean and natural ingredients are still high on the agenda – brands should look to traditional holistic hair rituals for inspiration. Brands should adopt a skinification approach to scalp and hair innovations, whilst considering inclusive products, looking further than natural, curly and coily hair types – including those transitioning to grey hair, or suffering from hair loss.

“The 2023 In-Cosmetics global edition hosted in Barcelona along with 907 exhibitors from around the world, showcased exciting ingredient innovations with a focus on functional wellness solutions. Hair health was at the front of innovation, with new ingredient launches focusing on the hair microbiome, in particular prebiotic activity to improve health of the scalp. Others were committed to combatting the physical pollutants that consumers are exposed to daily, such as metal ions from hard water and UV rays.
