ESW Beauty has introduced an updated version of its popular Smoothie-Inspired Lip Treatment. The whimsical and nourishing product is now available at Target in exclusive packaging that includes a decorative charm attached to each tube.
ESW Beauty's new Smoothie Lip Treatment release comes in three flavors from the brand’s existing lineup Guava Mango, Frosted Mint, and Raspberry Acai. The product itself is a lightweight, non-sticky lip treatment designed to address dry and cracked lips. Its formula relies on ingredients such as vitamin E and shea butter to provide lasting moisture and a glossy appearance.
ESW Beauty highlights its commitment to sustainability as 50% of the tube is made of post-consumer recycled plastic and is recyclable. The company also uses FSC-certified paperboard for the packaging.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Sustainable Beauty Packaging
- Growing adoption of post-consumer recycled plastics and FSC-certified paperboard in lip treatments reveals opportunity for closed-loop material systems that combine sustainability claims with premium design.
- Playful Functional Cosmetics
- The pairing of whimsical, collectible charms with effective moisturizing formulas reveals potential for products that blend emotional engagement with everyday utility to drive repeat purchases.
- Ingredient-forward Mini Treatments
- Compact, non-sticky lip treatments emphasizing vitamin E and shea butter point to demand for concentrated, travel-friendly formulations that deliver visible benefits in small-format SKUs.
Sectors Adopting This
- Personal Care
- Brands in skincare and cosmetics could be reshaped by offerings that integrate sustainable packaging and playful design while maintaining clinically relevant moisturizing performance.
- Mass Retail
- Big-box and target-format retailers show potential to leverage exclusive, collectible product variants as traffic-driving differentiators within crowded beauty aisles.
- Packaging Manufacturing
- Producers of packaging materials may see demand for innovative recyclable PCR tubes and decorative attachment solutions that balance cost, circularity, and on-shelf appeal.
