6 mood-enhancing beauty products in the spotlight at in-cosmetics Asia

At in-cosmetics Asia this year, Mintel will discuss how self-care is becoming a critical concept in consumer lifestyles today. Consumers all over the world are looking for ways to enhance their mood through products and services. It is this need that is challenging the beauty industry to introduce product innovations that meet consumers’ basic beauty needs, while addressing their moods as well as emotional health.

Here, we shine the spotlight on six beauty and personal care innovations that tap into the emotions—a preview of what’s to be showcased at the Mintel Innovation Zone (Booth I87) this year.
