The health and wellbeing category is experiencing a dynamic evolution, particularly with the increasing convergence of beauty and wellness in recent years. Consumers are becoming more knowledgeable and selective in their choices, opting for products and practices that enhance their overall wellbeing. Consequently, they are seeking brands that align with their lifestyles and champion a holistic approach to beauty and wellness.
Wellness, in the context of beauty, refers to a holistic approach to self care and personal grooming that goes beyond simply enhancing one’s physical appearance. It encompasses practices and products that promote overall wellbeing, both internally and externally. This includes focusing on skin care routines that nourish and protect the skin, using clean and natural ingredients, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and prioritizing mental and emotional balance.
Notably, brands that have a growing market share in the beauty and wellness space are those that focus on addressing consumer concerns such as hair thinning, hair loss, and hair growth. Here, we highlight three such brands:
Nutrafol specializes in addressing the common issues of thinning hair and has established itself with its hero product Nutraceuticals. It now offers a range of clinically tested products, including supplements and scalp products, to help consumers build a hair care routine with its products. According to our Kline PRO data, Nutrafol has penetrated salons by selling the Growth Activator hair serum for all genders, which in turn is generating the bulk of the company’s revenue in the channel. Earlier this year, Nutrafol also launched in select Sephora stores in the United States.
