California has been on the forefront of implementing regulations to create safer beauty products for consumers. They are now taking another stand and will be the first state in the US to ban several toxic ingredients in beauty & personal care products.

Relaxing in 2020 can be difficult amid the pandemic and a good night's sleep can boost the immune system and keep anxiety at bay. Both top-of-mind priorities for COVID-concerned consumers. This will propel the already burgeoning sleep category with innovations in smart  relaxation and sleep care. We look at the new products supporting consumers’ quest for tranquility.

Soap has always been a necessity to rid us of bacteria in our households and businesses. We have seen the industry innovate for decades to improve how soap kills germs with safer ingredients and with different textures such as foam. Due to the easily spread COVID-19 virus, that innovation will accelerate.

Before this pandemic, we could just wash our hands. Not anymore. Killing the bacteria has become more crucial, so crucial we are now being instructed on how we wash. However, killing bacteria is not the only thing under the lens so is product formats and benefits/added value such as stress relief or moisturizing from consistent washing.
