What is the Skincare Pod trend?
Skincare Pod: Brands in the skincare space are launching products designed to be refilled with sustainable pods. These pods both enhance sustainability by reducing single-use plastics, while also reducing costs for repeat customers, as they only need to purchase the main product once.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Skincare Pod trend
Consumers with daily skincare routines are continually seeking ways to reduce the costs and environmental impact of their routines without compromising on quality. While many such consumers take advantage of recurring product subscriptions or loyalty programs, not all may feel they use the products enough to get full value out of these systems. Additionally, recurring deliveries of products have large environmental impacts. Brands are addressing these concerns with refillable, sustainable pods.
