# Bi-Phase Body Serums Everyday Chemist Silky Water Hydrates Like Lotion and Boosts Glow Like an Oil By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2026-07-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-chemist-silky-water References: [newsroom.sephora](https://newsroom.sephora.com/sephora-accelerate-announces-2026-cohort-of-emerging-beauty-founders/) & [everyday-chemist](https://www.everyday-chemist.com/products/silky-water?variant=51542183444799)  [Everyday Chemist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-based-serum-stick) Silky Water is a unique [body serum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-serum-sticks) that moisturizes like a lotion and delivers the radiance of an oil with a [bi-phase formula](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biphase-moisturizer) that must be shaken to combine its two-part formula. This weightless hydrator is formulated with a blend of sea water, nourishing oils and botanical extracts, plus hero skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C. To make daily bodycare even more sensorial, Everyday Chemist offers Silky Water in two scents (Lule Lule and Vera) in addition to an unscented version. Most beauty consumers have a vague sense that their beauty products roll off some distant assembly line without giving the matter much more thought than that. Everyday Chemist, founded Flavia and Adriana, the mother-daughter team behind the cosmetic engineering lab EC Studios, offers a different approach, since every batch it makes is produced in small quantities—no contract manufacturer, no third-party lab, and no warehouse. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 9.1/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 84% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bi-phase Bodycare:** Dual-layer formulas create whitespace for hybrid products that combine lightweight hydration, oil-based radiance, and ritualized application in everyday body routines. - **Lab-led Beauty Brands:** Founder-operated formulation labs introduce differentiation through tighter product control, small-batch production, and transparent alternatives to outsourced manufacturing models. - **Sensorial Body Serums:** Fragrance, texture, and visible glow elevate body moisturizers into experience-driven skincare products with premium positioning beyond basic hydration. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Hybrid body treatments signal new category growth as consumers seek facial-skincare-grade ingredients for full-body routines. - **Skincare Manufacturing:** Small-batch in-house production reshapes expectations around quality, freshness, and brand authenticity in cosmetics development. - **Fragrance and Wellness:** Scented and unscented bodycare variations connect personal fragrance preferences with daily wellness rituals and inclusive product design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [UV-Protective Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-uv-repair-glow-collection.md) - [Shakeable Waterless Tinted Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterless-tinted-serum.md) - [Bi-Phase Brush Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brush-dry-shampoo-cleanser.md) - [Bi-Phase Sun Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biphase-sun-serum.md) - [Bottled Biotech Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salmon-dna-collection.md) - [Densely Hydrating Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixsoon-glacier-water.md) - [Multi-Action Bi-Phase Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seruminmist.md) - [Triple-Action Moisturizer Formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxe-moisturizer.md) - [Plum-Powered Skincare Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plum-spritz.md)
