What is the Beauty Indulgence trend?
Beauty Indulgence: As consumer awareness around ingredient health increases, indulgent candies and chocolates are given an overhaul with beneficial ingredients that promote healthy complexions and glowing skin. Borrowing inspiration from the world of cosmetics, snack brands are looking for detoxifying, collagen-boosting, anti-aging edibles that can be infused into delicious treats consumers already love. This combination demonstrates the compromise many consumers make when choosing healthy options that suit their lifestyle habits.
