Water-Free Treatment

Skincare serums are offered in water-free formulations

Trend - Cosmetic brands are increasingly releasing skincare treatments that don't contain water in order to reduce their environmental impact, or preserve their formulas' potency. These water-free serums come in a range of formats that include oils, solid bars, and powders.

Insight - The skincare industry's many innovations in recent years have been influenced by consumers' growing willingness to experiment in this space. The more innovative a product or formula is, the more effective it's perceived as being. Cosmetic brands continue to adapt to consumers' desire to try new skin and makeup products that stand out.
Workshop Question - How is your brand prioritizing distinct but effective products/services?
Trend Themes
1. Water-free Formulations - Cosmetic brands are releasing skincare treatments without water to reduce environmental impact and preserve formulas' potency.
2. Powdered Cleansers - Water-activated powdered cleansers are proving to be effective and customizable alternatives to traditional cleansers.
3. Anhydrous Products - Anhydrous or water-free skincare products are becoming more popular because they are highly concentrated and potent.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care - Personal care brands can capitalize on the trend of waterless formulations in skincare products by creating more eco-friendly and innovative options for consumers.
2. Beauty - Beauty professionals can explore the potential of powdered and anhydrous skincare products to create new and effective formulas for their clients.
3. Healthcare - Healthcare professionals can partner with cosmetic and personal care brands to provide patients with potent and effective skincare options that are also environmentally friendly.
