According to Lach Hall, Vacation's co-founder, "We poured through old cookbooks and fine dining restaurant menus to land these flavors." Vacation's Lip Trips: Desserts are deluxe and deeply nourishing thanks to a combination of oils, butter and waxes like coconut, olive and jojoba oils, aloe vera, cocoa butter, Vitamin E and sunflower and candelilla waxes—which makes them vegan-friendly. The warm weather-friendly sticks are designed to glide on easily and provide broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nostalgic Lip Care:** Opportunity for beauty and personal care companies to create lip care products that appeal to consumers' nostalgia, using flavors inspired by nostalgic desserts like Vacation's Lip Trips: Desserts line. - **SPF Beauty Products:** Opportunity for beauty and personal care companies to incorporate SPF into their products beyond traditional sunscreen, such as lip balms, facial moisturizers, and foundations. - **Vegan-friendly SPF Products:** Opportunity for beauty and personal care companies to create more vegan-friendly SPF products, like Vacation's vegan Lip Trips: Desserts lip balms, to appeal to the growing number of consumers choosing vegan and cruelty-free options. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Beauty and personal care companies can incorporate Vacation's decadent SPF lip balm flavors and vegan-friendly ingredients into their own lines to appeal to consumers looking for innovative and nostalgic products. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can collaborate with beauty and personal care companies to create dessert-inspired flavors for lip balms and other skincare products, like Vacation's Lip Trips: Desserts line. - **Sun Protection:** Sunscreen and sun care companies can expand their product lines to include lip balms and other beauty products with SPF protection, like Vacation's Lip Trips: Desserts line. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage Soda Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf-30-lip-balm.md) - [Luxe Protective Lip Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chardonnay-lip-oil-spf-30.md) - [Iced Tea-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-balm-bundle.md) - [Dessert-Like Multi-Benefit Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breeze-balm.md) - [Sunscreen-Inspired Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacation-sunscreen-smoothie.md) - [Premium Face Sunscreen Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-sunscreen-stick.md) - [80s-Inspired SPF Spray Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-gele-spf-30-spray-oil.md) - [Multitasking Browning Lotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/browning-lotion.md) - [Shimmering Sunscreen Mousses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-whip-glow-spf-30.md)
