# Sport Luxe Skincare Brands MUSQ Natural Cosmetics is a Skincare Line Boasting Timeless Design By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-08-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-cosmetics References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2015/8/18/musq-natural-cosmetics) MUSQ Natural Cosmetics is an [Australian skincare brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-line-des) focused on quality and sustainability. In order to create a dynamic visual brand, MUSQ worked with Black Squid Design, who designed a [bold black and white scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolute-collection) that is both timeless and sleek. The MUSQ Natural Cosmetics line also includes a selection of [soy candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-tribe-cosmetics) that are delicately packaged into paper boxes decorated with pixelated images of lush greenery. The images reference the raw ingredients incorporated into the formula of the candles in a move that unites the imagery with the brand's morals. In creating a stylized brand with a hint of femininity, MUSQ is able to position the product range as upscale and elegant. The new brand look also extends the same attention to detail central to the product formulas to the packaging. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 69% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Focus on Quality and Sustainability:** The trend of focusing on quality and sustainability in skincare brands presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation through the development of eco-friendly packaging and ethically sourced ingredients. - **Visual Branding and Timeless Design:** The trend of visual branding and timeless design in skincare brands allows for disruptive innovation in creating bold, eye-catching packaging that stands out on the shelves and appeals to consumers' desire for aesthetically pleasing products. - **Unifying Brand Imagery with Ethics:** The trend of unifying brand imagery with ethics in skincare brands opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation by incorporating visuals that reflect the brand's values and commitment to using natural, organic ingredients. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Skincare:** The skincare industry can capitalize on the trend of focusing on quality and sustainability by developing innovative products and packaging that appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers. - **Design:** The design industry can take advantage of the trend of visual branding and timeless design in skincare brands by offering innovative packaging solutions that enhance the visual appeal of the products while maintaining a sense of elegance and sophistication. - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can explore the trend of unifying brand imagery with ethics in skincare brands by developing products and marketing campaigns that resonate with consumers who prioritize natural and ethical beauty products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusive Skincare Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featforskin.md) - [Streamlined Skincare Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mio-cosmetics.md) - [Scientifically Inspired Skincare Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-skincare-brand.md) - [Marine Biotech Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulcie.md) - [Sustainably Luxe Face Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakie-coquette.md) - [Modern Luxury-Focused Fragrance Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cos-perfumery.md) - [Canadian Luxury Skincare Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-line-des.md) - [Customizable Skincare Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numoo-naturally-cleansing-collection.md) - [Skin-Loving Cruelty-Free Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-makeup.md)
