Rather than relying on artificial additives, this naturally sourced product protects one's lips from the elements without any parabens or added colors. The [lip care product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramide-lip-blur-balm) is also subtly scented, creating a protective film once applied to the skin. When worn, the product's film is water-repellent, making it ideal for users living in cool or damp climates. Additionally, the product is conveniently packaged in a tin, along with an accompanying mini leather satchel. The stylish satchel is ideal for on-the-go transport and is also a great gift for organic skincare fans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Naturally Sourced Lip Care:** Opportunity to develop more lip care products that use natural ingredients instead of artificial additives. - **Water-repellent Lip Balms:** Opportunity to create lip balms that are water-repellent and suitable for cool or damp climates. - **Packaging Innovation in Lip Care:** Opportunity to design more stylish and convenient packaging for lip care products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Skincare Industry:** Potential for skincare companies to expand their product offerings by developing more naturally sourced lip care products. - **Outdoor and Adventure Industry:** Opportunity for outdoor and adventure companies to create water-repellent lip care products for people who live in cool or damp climates. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for fashion companies to create stylish and convenient packaging for lip care products that can be easily carried on-the-go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protective Ceramide Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-love-moisture-balms.md) - [Antioxidant-Rich Lip Salves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-cherry.md) - [Sun-Shielding Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/some-by-mi-v10-hyal-lip-sun-protector.md) - [Skin-Caring Lip Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lippe-balm.md) - [Paper Lip Balm Tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizing-lip-balms.md) - [Minimalist Multi-Benefit Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lip-balm.md) - [Oversized Sun Care Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisture-balm-spf-30.md) - [Protective Hydrating Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrating-lip-balms1.md) - [Mushroom-Infused Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-lip-balm.md)
