Most popular ingredients in 2024

It's important for beauty brands to know which cosmetics products are trending. Here you have the top 5 ingredientes for 2024.

1. Niacinamide

The top cosmetic ingredient for 2024 is vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide or nicotinamide. An active form of vitamin B3, this ingredient is a popular choice suited to cosmetics targeting both mature as well as acne-prone skin.

 

2. Retinol Alternatives

Retinol, a popular ingredient targeting mature skin, is notoriously unstable and can cause skin reactions. This is why natural retinol alternatives that are also stable and gentler on the skin are increasingly in the spotlight.

Bakuchiol is the most well-known, natural retinol alternative and is easy to source.

 

3. Peptides

Peptides are the latest rage in the beauty industry. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are essential components of living organisms. In cosmetics, they can reduce moisture loss and wrinkles by forming a protective film over the skin. 

 

4. Ceramides

Ceramides are also perfect for hydrating your skin since these naturally-occurring lipid substances can prevent water loss and dehydration. Adding ceramides to your formulations helps increase skin hydration and maintain the skin barrier function.

 

5. Alpha hydroxy acids

AHAs are a group of plant and animal-derived acids used in a variety of skincare products. These include daily anti-ageing products, such as serums, toners, and creams, as well as occasional concentrated treatments via chemical peels. Glycolic and lactic acids are the most promising and well researched.
