Hygiene Entertainment

Soaps that make washing hands an enjoyable, fun experience

Implications - Many children exhibit an aversion to hand-washing, a trait that some even carry into adulthood. As people become more aware of the importance of proper hygiene, especially hand washing, creative soap designers are pushing hard to invent new soaps that will make the experience an enjoyable one.
Trend Themes
1. Hygiene Fun - Creative soap designs are creating a range of soaps that are enjoyable and promote good hygiene practices.
2. Green Incentives - Designs that incentivize eco-friendliness are becoming more popular, as people are rewarded for making more environmentally-friendly choices.
3. Geeky Mainstream - Geek culture is becoming more mainstream, with products that embrace this culture gaining acceptance.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care - The personal care industry is being disrupted by new design and incentive trends that promote good hygiene and eco-friendliness.
2. Charity - Charities are capitalizing on new creative designs that focus on incentivizing eco-friendliness and philanthropy in unique ways.
3. Gifts & Novelties - Gift and novelty products are becoming more popular, due in part to the embrace of geek culture and new incentive designs that promote eco-friendliness.
