Facial Exfoliant Sticks

Tarte's 'Frxxxtion Stick' is a Three-in-One Solid Face Exfoliator

— January 21, 2017 — Fashion
Although exfoliating scrubs are typically sold in liquid or powder formats by the bottle and jar, the 'Frxxxtion Stick' is a novel vegan-friendly product from Tarte Cosmetics that comes in a solid form.

The multipurpose facial cleansing stick comes in packaging that makes it possible to roll the product over one's skin, effectively making it possible to apply a face mask without getting one's hands dirty. As the dark black color of the stick suggests, detoxifying charcoal is a main ingredient, which also exfoliates and cleanses the skin.

Knowing that today's busy consumers are always on the go, cosmetic brands are stepping up to provide new ways to use familiar products like lotions, personal fragrance products, lip scrubs and beauty balms that promote portability and prevent spills.
Trend Themes
1. Solid Skincare - The development of products in solid form provides new opportunities for the skincare industry to address consumer demand for portability.
2. Multipurpose Beauty - As consumers become more time-conscious, multipurpose cosmetics like the 'Frxxxtion Stick' offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for the beauty industry.
3. Charcoal-based Cosmetics - Charcoal-based skincare products like Tarte's 'Frxxxtion Stick' present an opportunity for the beauty industry to market natural, cleansing cosmetic solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Skincare - The skincare industry is well-positioned to innovate on the solid format introduced by Tarte's 'Frxxxtion Stick.'
2. Cosmetics - The introduction of solid, multipurpose cosmetic products like the 'Frxxxtion Stick' indicates opportunities for the cosmetics industry to cater to time-conscious consumers.
3. Natural Cosmetics - By employing charcoal as a key ingredient for the 'Frxxxtion Stick,' Tarte and other beauty brands can create innovative, natural cosmetic products.
