Bar Shampoo

Shampoo bars allow for easy and waste-free cleansing

Trend - Brands are increasingly offering shampoos in solid form, much like soap bars, so they can reduce the amount of packaging and waste they create in the production process. Innovations in this space has resulted in these products having high-quality ingredients that rival their liquid shampoo counterparts in efficacy.

Insight - When it comes to self-care, enironmentally conscious purchase decisions are on the rise as consumers reexamine all the aspects of their lives in which they tend to be wasteful. These individuals are drawn to "natural" brands that do as little harm to the environment as possible, whether that's in waste-reduction or reducing carbon emissions.
Workshop Question - How is your brand prioritizing waste reduction?
Trend Themes
1. Solid Shampoo Bars - More brands are offering shampoo bars in solid form for eco-friendly and waste-reducing benefits, with high-quality ingredients that compete with liquid shampoo efficacy.
2. Natural Plant-based Products - Consumers are more environmentally conscious and drawn towards natural brands that do little harm to the environment, creating opportunities for plant-based and sustainable products.
3. Sensitivity and Special Considerations - Brands are creating products that are catered to special needs such as sensitive scalps, creating an avenue for innovation with ingredients that consider these special considerations.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care - The increase of environmentally conscious customers and natural ingredients in shampoo bars create opportunities for personal care brands to fill in the demand for sustainable products.
2. Sustainability - From waste-reduction to plant-based ingredients, the shampoo bar trend lends an opportunity for innovative sustainability solutions to be applied to different industries.
3. Retail - Brands that can cater to specific needs, such as scalp sensitivity, and offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional products are more likely to break through in the retail space.
