As its name suggests, this new collection of lip balm products takes inspiration from the light, refreshing and non-alcoholic unfiltered fruit juices that are particularly popular in Mexico. Lip Smacker's Aguas Frescas lip balms include varieties such as [Tropical Passion Fruit, Peach Mango](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-guava-lip-butter-balm) and Horchata. As the solid salves are packaged in a way that resembles takeaway drink containers with a small straw, one must twist the top of the cups to loosen the base to reveal the balm. The vibrant drink-inspired lip balms are available individually, as well as in a multi-pack. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fruit-inspired Lip Balms:** Opportunity for lip balm brands to create products inspired by different fruits, offering consumers a unique sensory experience. - **Creative Packaging Designs:** Chance for companies to innovate lip balm packaging by drawing inspiration from unconventional sources, like takeaway drink cups. - **Cultural-inspired Products:** Opportunity for beauty brands to create products that celebrate and incorporate elements from different cultures, appealing to a diverse consumer base. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for lip balm brands to introduce new and exciting flavors inspired by various fruits. - **Packaging and Labeling:** Opportunity to develop innovative packaging designs that not only protect and enhance the product, but also add a unique, engaging element to the user experience. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for beverage companies to collaborate with beauty brands to create lip balms inspired by popular non-alcoholic fruit juices, tapping into the crossover between the food and beauty industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Cushiony Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-balm.md) - [Flavor-Packed Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hismile-lip-balm.md) - [Iced Tea-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-balm-bundle.md) - [Sour Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-lip-balm.md) - [Summer Dessert-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-drinks.md) - [Colorful Hydrating Lip Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-28-juicebalm-lip-balms.md) - [Roll-On Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-smacker-rolly.md) - [Treat-Like Glossy Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-snack.md) - [Dessert-Like Multi-Benefit Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breeze-balm.md)
