2025 promises to be a year of transformation in the cosmetics sector, with the focus increasingly shifting towards sustainable practices, innovative products and the emotional connection with consumers. Discover the main trends that will shape the industry.
Conscious Beauty: Simplifying to Maximize
Less will be more:
- Skinimalism: Simple routines with fewer but more effective products will continue to gain followers.
- Holistic Beauty: Focus on general well-being, with cosmetics that combine benefits for the skin and the mind (aromatherapy, for example).
- Focus on the Male Consumer: More inclusive product lines for men, including skincare and discreet make-up.
Sustainable Beauty: More than an Option, a Necessity
Sustainability will continue to be an essential pillar:
- Natural and Ethical Ingredients: Demand for plant-based, biodegradable and fair trade ingredients will grow.
- Transparency: Consumers demand more clarity about the origin of ingredients and the environmental impact of brands.
Ingredients of the Future: High Performance and Nature
Innovation in ingredients will bring new possibilities:
- Biotechnology: Ingredients created in the laboratory, such as vegan collagen or gentler retinol alternatives.
- Focus on the Microbiome: Products that respect and balance the skin's natural bacteria to improve the skin barrier.
- Superfoods in Beauty: Ingredients such as algae, spirulina and tropical fruit extracts will be on the rise.
Inclusivity and Representativeness
Beauty becomes more inclusive:
- Diversity of Shades: Brands that cover a wide range of skin tones in make-up and skincare.
- Age and Gender: Campaigns that celebrate beauty across all ages and genders.
- Accessibility: Premium products with affordable options to democratize access to quality cosmetics.
Customer Experience: Beyond the Product
