Neurocosmetic Skincare
In short
Neurocosmetic Skincare refers to skincare that engages the skin's neuroaminoendocrine functions to address concerns linked to stress, sensitivity, and barrier health. Trend Hunter's research finds that skin contains receptors for serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, produces and releases neuropeptides, and that up to 70% of consumers self-identify as having sensitive skin while stress and problematic sleep show up as visible concerns. For beauty brands and marketers, this creates an opportunity to position clinically backed products for consumers seeking reputable solutions and clearly defined pathways.
