Consumers are not shy about what they would like in their personal care.
In today's beauty industry, many consumers are calling for their products to be clean, inclusive and cruelty-free—opening the door for product developers to be creative with their ingredient possibilities, demographics, R&D and more.
How can you incorporate consumer voices?
- Balance demands for naturals and alternative preservatives by considering the stability, toxicology and pH restrictions of natural preservatives, including honeysuckle, hops extracts and magnolia stem bark extract.
- For consumers looking to reduce their plastic usage, look into replacing microplastics with sustainable options such as cellulose or wax-based ingredients.
- Consider various demographics when developing products, including men’s care and cosmetics.
- Leverage consumer interest in wellness and sustainability when choosing ingredients for clean beauty formulations.
- When considering cruelty-free options, check local animal-testing regulations and safety parameters.
Two roundtable sessions at Beauty Accelerate will focus on meeting consumer demands such as these on October 15, 2019, at Metropolitan West in New York.
