“All-clusive” Beauty Products

As the world focuses more on diversity and inclusion, personal care companies are leading the way for inclusivity. Product innovation includes lines that span across race and gender. Whether it is makeup for men, as Covergirl announced its first “Coverboy” in 2016, or beard grooming products, men’s personal care is expected to hit $166 billion in 2022. In a recent Vogue article, the author asks the question, “As the world’s perception of beauty becomes more diverse, how are make-up brands evolving in tandem?” This is a direct challenge to beauty and skin companies who must find a way to develop products that are diverse, inclusive, and an accurate expression of current beauty trends.

Some companies can use science and technology to solve this potential disconnect between personalized inclusion and relationship with consumers at the brand level and the need for constant new product innovation.

Consider the potential benefits to skin DNA analysis – skincare has always been personalized to the individuals. Now, consumers are able to take advantage of their unique genetic markers to create customized skincare routines to create individually tailored skincare regimens.

This isn’t just for the dermatologist offices; consumers can buy this product directly.
