Reinvented Reusable

Single-use personal care products get an inventive eco makeover

Trend - Personal care products previously considered to be unavoidably single-use, such as cotton swabs and sheet masks, are being updated with visionary redesigns that result in something much more sustainable.

Insight - Many consumers are showing enthusiasm and openness to changing the way they use products in order to live more sustainably, even sacrificing some convenience out of necessity. This trend speaks to the larger push towards eco-awareness that many consumers are guided by. Brands who are able to offer sustainable solutions to products traditionally considered unsustainable by default are aligning well with consumers who now have a greater understanding of environmental issues.
Workshop Question - What would your target customer be willing to sacrifice in exchange for an offering that better aligns with their values?
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Personal Care - There is a push for sustainable personal care products and consumers are willing to change their usage habits. Brands that offer sustainable alternatives to traditional unsustainable personal care products have an aligned consumer base.
2. Reusable Beauty Devices - Eco-friendly reusable beauty devices for facial cleansing and sheet masks are alternatives to single-use products and have reusable and biodegradable alternatives. Brands can incorporate biodegradable materials into their product designs in an effort to reduce waste.
3. Reusable Cosmetic Tools - There are reusable alternatives for single-use makeup tools such as mink lashes and cotton swabs on the market. Brands can design long-lasting and durable cosmetic tools to align with eco-conscious consumer values.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care - Brands that offer personal care products can create eco-friendly sustainable alternatives that appeal to their eco-conscious customers.
2. Beauty and Skincare - Beauty and skincare companies can redesign their products to be more eco-friendly while still offering the same high-quality beauty treatments that their customers love.
3. Cosmetics - Cosmetics companies can design and create durable and long-lasting makeup tools and alternatives to appeal to their eco-conscious customers.
