Pumice Stone Brushes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Fredericks & Mae Enhances Pumice by Adding Boar Hair Bristles

— April 13, 2016 — Lifestyle
Pumice stones are simple and typically only good for addressing one aspect of personal care. Now, in addition to being a tool for removing calloused skin, the humb;e pumice stone has been updated by Fredericks & Mae into a hybrid device.

The two-in-one product is created by taking naturally shaped pumice stones and implanting a natural boar hair brush. With this new addition, the hybrid personal care tool is able to be used for everything from shaving and cleaning to exfoliating.

While each one-of-a-kind pumice stone from Fredericks & Mae is odd and unconventional in shape, groups of consumers are gravitating towards products like these where a natural product has been improved in some way or another with human intervention.

3. Unconventional Shaped Personal Care Tools - Fredericks & Mae's pumice stones are odd and unconventional in shape, indicating a trend towards unique and unexpected personal care tools.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care - The personal care industry can capitalize on the trend of hybrid personal care tools, offering consumers multi-functional and inventive solutions for their daily routines.
2. Natural Products - The natural products industry can utilize the trend of improving natural products with human intervention, creating innovative and eco-friendly products that appeal to conscious consumers.
3. Home Goods - The home goods industry can explore the trend of unconventional shaped personal care tools, offering unique and aesthetically pleasing solutions for consumers looking to decorate and declutter their spaces.
