Clariant’s regular beauty trends update was delivered by webinar last week, and focused on three key personal care trends: Fantasy Formulations, Embracing Ageing, and Active Beauty.

If you missed this webinar we have made the formulation booklet available via this link.

 

Fantasy Formulations

Fantasy provides a necessary relief from stressful times, and so far 2020 has definitely been stressful worldwide. Another reason Fantasy Formulations are set to be popular this year is that our lives are becoming increasingly digital – accelerated only by the pandemic – and consumers are looking for more dynamic sensorial experiences. Three example formulations were shown to suit this trend.

Embracing Ageing

‘Anti-Ageing’ is perhaps one of the longest standing, consistent personal care trends in the world. But ‘anti-ageing’ has a lot of negative connotations, there are plenty of things to celebrate when it comes to ageing. And with the 40+ population who would usually be the anti-ageing target market more active than ever on digital platforms as well as the social movement towards celebrating real people, now is the time of pro-ageing products. We’re seeing women embrace their natural grey hairs, their laughter lines and their changing bodies, appreciating their ageing and not wishing to hide it.

Embracing ageing focuses on renewal, regeneration and radiance.
