What's Happening

What is the Calming Care trend?

Calming Care: Brands across the skinscare industry are releasing products with inherently calming or stress-reducing ingredients. While still only applied to the skin, neuro-active ingredients such as CBD or Neurophroline, reduce mental stresses demonstrably when applied regularly.

Insight

The consumer insight behind the Calming Care trend

Consumers who engage daily with health and beauty products are acutely aware of the effects of each cream, serum, and moisturizer. These consumers use combinations of products to reduce blemishes, invigorate skin, and boost their confidence in turn. However, these consumers are becoming increasingly aware of products that boast both aesthetic benefits and tangible benefits to physical or mental health. As a result, brands are increasingly investing in multifunctional health-skincare products.
