Cosmetics brands are using sea holly extract to repair and revitalize skin
Trend - An extract from the sea holly plant is being used in skincare products from serums to sun care to repair skin. These items are designed to integrate anti-aging benefits into traditional skincare products. Sea holly extract has been shown to reduce sun damage, signs of aging, and signs of stress.

Insight - The prevalence of social media has led to a strong interest in the beauty and self-care industries, with Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha consumers using more beauty products earlier on than previous generations. Social media trends have drawn attention to the effects of aging, and the importance of combating the effects of aging as early as possible through the use of preventative products such as sunscreens, leading to brands redesigning daily ritual products with anti-aging ingredients.
Workshop Question - How could your brand draw inspiration for its next youth-focused product or service from popular social media trends?
