Future of Skincare (2023)
Meiyume’s Spotlight Trend Report
Meiyume’s Skincare Expert Comments
July 2023 –
“Despite economic uncertainty, spending on skincare essentials remains important to consumers. Ritualistic routines will prevail, while a stronger focus on skin health will see barrier protection and wellbeing high on the agenda for 2023, as consumers take a 360-degree approach to skincare and health.
Science-backed solutions will reign and biotech-ingredients are set to challenge definitions of ‘natural’ and ‘clean’, and question what sustainability means.“
“The skin is our largest sensorial organ, it communicates and reflects our wellbeing and it is deeply interconnected with the neurological system. In the US 70% of women experienced worse skin conditions whilst feeling burnt out in 2022. This can be attributed to increased levels of cortisol, a culprit of stressed skin such as inflammation, acne and eczema.
3 key ingredients to explore and support in combatting these skin concerns: Algaktiv Zen, Turmeria Zen PRCF and Neurophroline™. Brands have the opportunity to address stress related skin issues, sleep and wellbeing within products.“
