Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, the unrelenting climate crisis and the impact of inflation on customer spending, the beauty and wellness sectors are entering a new age of products and experiences built on expertise, innovation, evidence and certification.
Now, as we explore in this presentation, companies must bring their expertise, research and accreditation to the fore, not only to prove the worthiness of their products but also to inspire spending. Science and technological expertise will also be crucial to safeguard the industry against future shocks, securing supply chains and fuelling fresh directions for formulas, products and experiences.
Self-care as we know it is changing. Between calls to reject the wellness industrial complex and close the gap between widening health inequalities, a shift is under way.
Covid-19 has taught us that we are all connected and that taking care of ourselves is a way to care for our family, friends and community. For this reason, self-care is taking on a new role on both an individual and a collective scale.
In this presentation, we look at the foundations of beauty, health and wellness that have been compromised by the pandemic as well as emerging trends and foresight.
Consumers’ collective concerns about hygiene, wellbeing and immunity will drive new directions in beauty and wellness focused on phygital rehabilitation.
Brands have switched direction and are now focused on the home, as well as products and services linked to rehabilitation to help anxious consumers through this inter-Covid period. They are looking ahead to ensure they are able to play a recuperative role in consumers’ lives.
This presentation will help your brand to become a supportive guide and friend to customers during a period of upheaval and anxiety.
