Top 100 Cosmetics Trends in May

From Tofu-Inspired Fragrances to DHA-Infused Contour Sticks

The May 2024 cosmetics round-up includes innovative ingredients, performance-driven formulations, and sustainably-minded product design.

The Dior Sauvage Mencare, for example, boasts quality products with cactus ingredients sourced from the brand's Dior Garden located in Lanzarote. Elsewhere, Pacifica Beauty also embraces the novelty of unexpected ingredients, launching a Baked Tofu scent to raise awareness about the environmental benefits of veganism.

The May 2024 cosmetics also highlight important care regiments for the upcoming spring and summer months. The Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Balm by Glow Recipe, for instance, makes it convenient and even pleasurable to apply sunscreen. clé de peau also calls attention to its hyper-luxurious UV Protective Cream + Protective Lip Treatment which is enhanced through the brand's Adaptable Innershield Technology. Finally, Subtl Beauty embraces the warmer months with the launch of its specially curated Spring Stak.
