Inspired by this, Vidal set out to create a [mineral spray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnesium-sprays) that would be more nourishing than the average setting spray, as well as uniquely packaged in a [refillable format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-refill). The Alkaglam Mineral Spray is a product that must be filled with filtered water to activate it and it is refillable for up to a year. The product is beneficial for promoting skin that is pH balanced, moisturized, hydrated and radiant-looking. The just-add-water spray features vitamin and mineral beads from tourmaline, magnesium, potassium, calcium, Vitamin C and more. As such, the [nourishing facial spray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psa-skincare-dew-halo) mimics the properties of the French spring water. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Refillable Beauty Products:** The trend of refillable beauty products like the Alkaglam Mineral Spray could disrupt the traditional single-use beauty product industry by reducing plastic waste and encouraging sustainable consumption. - **Mineral-infused Beauty Products:** The trend of mineral-infused beauty products, featuring ingredients like tourmaline, magnesium, and potassium, offers innovation opportunities for creating new and unique beauty formulations that promote healthy skin. - **DIY Beauty Products:** The trend of DIY beauty products, like the Alkaglam Mineral Spray that requires the addition of filtered water to activate, offers disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to create customizable, at-home beauty treatments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The refillable and mineral-infused properties of the Alkaglam Mineral Spray offer disruptions to the traditional beauty and personal care industry by promoting sustainable and natural ingredients and packaging. - **Home Water Filtration Systems:** The trend of refillable beauty products with water-activation like the Alkaglam Mineral Spray offers innovation opportunities for companies in the home water filtration systems industry to create products that meet the unique needs of the beauty and personal care market. - **Tourism:** The properties of mineral springs, like those in Lourdes, France, offer innovation opportunities for the tourism industry to create wellness and beauty experiences centered around natural ingredients and their healing properties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Marine-Inspired Facial Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-mist.md) - [Clean Hydrating Facial Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinspray.md) - [Eco Mineral Sun Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheer-mist-sun-spray.md) - [Revitalizing Toning Facial Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-daily-rescue.md) - [Skincare-Infused Setting Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-blur.md) - [Eco-Friendly Air-to-Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara-pure.md) - [Purifying Skincare Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-refresh-set.md) - [Mineralizing Water-Sanitizing Carbonators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon8-onetouch-sparkling-water-maker.md) - [Multi-Purpose Face Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antioxidant-face-mist.md)
