C-Care

A beauty range without miniatures is like a lipstick without color. They’re both missing something essential. Miniatures draw more consumers to prestige brands and boost bottom lines for retailers. But for miniatures to have maximum impact, their packaging needs to be user-friendly and sustainable. The #Monotube ticks both those boxes. It’s made of 100% recycled and #recyclable aluminium from base to tip — and 95% of the aluminium is PCR material. The neat closure system allows you to reseal the tube, making single-use samples a thing of the past. And because it’s so petite and lightweight, it’s perfect for travelling.

Hair Color at its peak. Revolutionized due to social changes and new consumer habits, there's an opportunity space for brands with value propositions that align with the new market demands. Are you ready for it? The global hair color market size is expected to grow from USD 18,823.96 million in 2022 to USD 40,443.95 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% > Rising influence of social media Consumers' growing focus on personal well-being and appearance is driving spending at hairdressing salons and grooming establishments. Professional, attentive, and relaxing salon services are in high demand. Additionally, increased mobile phone usage, expanded internet access, and the influence of social media platforms contribute to the rise in hair colorant sales through e-commerce channels. > Clean hair products. Consumers are increasingly interested in hair products that are gentle on the skin and free from allergens. Safety is a top priority when choosing hair colorants, along with ease of application and long-lasting results. Some companies offer plant-based dye kits made from ingredients like indigo, beetroot, or black walnut, often with minimal packaging and suitable for home mixing. Additionally market is looking for ammonia-free and PPD-free options for a less damaging choice. > Sustainable packaging tendences. Consumers increasingly prefer products from renewable sources with sustainable packaging. Aluminium packaging is gaining popularity, and mainstream hair dye brands are adopting eco-friendly packaging to minimize environmental impact. Choose hair dye kits with recycled materials and minimal plastic to support sustainability efforts. > Growing At-Home routines. Doing beauty routines at home offers convenience and flexibility, which is crucial in today's hectic schedules. The rising trend of self-care and beauty routines is particularly noticeable among Gen-Z consumers who prioritize regular self-care practices. Additionally, Refillable Kits provide an easy and clean way to apply color at home. Simply keep the kit and order refills when needed for hassle-free coloring. > Men Dye interest. There's a clear trend of more men using hair dye, indicating a noticeable increase in males choosing dye treatments. This shift reflects a significant change in men's grooming habits, showing their growing interest in hair coloring. The availability of grooming products at retail outlets has greatly boosted sales of men's hair color, which were previously limited to convenience stores, beauty salons, and specific retail establishments. As a final note, Hair color category presents an opportunity for brands positioned to offer a value proposition aligned with these trends. I leave you with my selection of examples that I've researched for you; I hope they serve as inspiration for your next launch. #beauty #haircolor #beautypackaging #sustainablepackaging
