Scalp Relief

Products that specifically target scalp irritation are on the rise

Implications - Scalp irritation that typically results in itching is now being targeted, not specifically for the reduction of the issue that's causing the irritation, but for general relief. With scalp "itchiness" not typically being a specific target in haircare.

Insight - As consumers have become better educated about products available on the market and their personal care needs more broadly, there's been an accompanying hunger for highly targeted products that help consumers feel as though they've optimized nearly every part of their bodies. This is motivated not only in an inherent interest in new products, but also a desire to control and improve one's body as much as possible.
Workshop Question - How could your brand cater to niche consumer needs and preferences?
Trend Themes
1. Targeted Scalp Relief Products - Haircare brands are creating products to relieve scalp irritation, not for treating the root cause but just to alleviate the symptons, responding to consumers' demand for highly targeted and optimized personal care.
2. Specialized Scalp Treatments - Companies are launching specialized treatments that focus on scalp health and include microbiome-balancing, time-release hydration, and low-lather cleansing formulas, as scalp care becomes perceived as essential weekly routines.
3. Itch-relieving Hair Milk Oils - Brands are formulating hair milk oils with natural ingredients that promote hair growth and hydration while providing relief from scalp itchiness and damage, such as avocado, jojoba, castor, and olive oils, responding to consumers' demand for effective and non-greasy hair products.
Industry Implications
1. Haircare - Haircare brands are catering to consumer's needs by offering specialized scalp treatments and relief products that are suitable for various types of hair.
2. Beauty - Consumers are placing a higher value on personalized beauty products to achieve a feeling of optimization and self-improvement for their bodies.
3. Natural Ingredients - There is a growing trend for using natural ingredients in personal care products, such as coconut oil, hyaluronic acid, and peony extract, as consumers become more educated about the potential benefits and safety of natural ingredients.
