# Ebon-Aide a Bandage Made for Your Shade By Juan Carlos Bonilla | Published 2007-06-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebon-aide-at-last-a-protective-strip-thats-made-in-your-shade References: [thecoolhunter.net](http://www.thecoolhunter.net/) & [ebon-aide](http://www.ebon-aide.com/) You can now buy bandages in multi-hued skin tones. Ebon-aides come in a variety of color tones including mocha, coffee, cinnamon, and honey skin. This innovation seems long overdue! **Implications** - The concept for Ebon-Aide is to blend in with a person's natural skin tone so that the bandage doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. They come in three different sizes to help cover all sorts of bites, stings and scrapes. Ebon-Aide's tagline for their product cleverly reads, "At last you’ve got it made in your shade." The product is great for people who work in a professional business environment and don't want a bright Band-Aid clashing with their fashionable attire. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Inclusive Bandages:** Ebon-Aide caters to the demand for bandages that match diverse skin tones, promoting inclusivity and addressing a long-overlooked need. - **Skin-tone Orthopedic Devices:** The success of Ebon-Aide opens up opportunities for developing orthopedic devices and casts that blend seamlessly with varying skin tones, enhancing patient comfort and confidence. - **Customizable Medical Accessories:** Ebon-Aide's approach inspires the creation of customizable medical accessories, such as gauzes and dressing pads, for a personalized and inclusive healthcare experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can embrace inclusive products like Ebon-Aide to enhance patient-centered care and promote diversity and inclusion in medical practices. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry players can partner with Ebon-Aide to develop stylish accessories that incorporate skin-tone bandages, creating a seamless blend of fashion and functionality. - **Consumer Goods:** The consumer goods industry can explore the development of inclusive personal care products, such as cosmetics and skincare, that cater to diverse skin tones, inspired by Ebon-Aide. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Bandage Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-met-x-bandaid.md) - [Skin-Toned Inclusive Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-1.md) - [Aloe-Infused Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloe-vera-infused-bandages.md) - [Ultra-Gentle Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-bandages.md) - [Durable Water-Friendly Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-clear-adhesive-bandages.md) - [Melanin-Focused Body Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eadem.md) - [Exclusive Anniversary-Honoring Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandaid-brand.md) - [Plant-Powered First-Aid Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-better-co.md) - [Waterproof Color-Changing Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drysee-bandages.md)
