Presented by Mintel expert Clare Hennigan and moderator Alisha Taylor, this webinar explores how industry pioneers are navigating change and what these three key predictions mean for your brand’s future:

Metabolic Beauty – 2026 marks the tipping point where beauty and health converge. With advances in biomarker testing, metabolic monitoring, and bio-intelligent tech, personalized wellness solutions for energy, hydration, and cellular repair are becoming mainstream.

The Sixth Sense: Sensorial Synergy​ – 2026 marks a new era of sensory beauty. Advances in functional fragrances, neuroscience, and immersive tech are transforming self-care into rich, multi-sensory experiences that support emotional wellness.

Beyond the Algorithm: The Human Touch Revolution​ – Consumers are turning away from AI perfection and embracing raw, human creativity.


Key Quote:

“By 2026, beauty will be reshaped by breakthroughs in health, immersive experiences, and the rejection pf perfection. Human-led artistry, metabolic insights, and emotionally resonant innovations will define the next frontier of the industry.”

-Clare Hennigan, Mintel
