Beauty Tech is the Future of Beauty and Cosmetics
The world is changing. The pace of innovation is faster than ever before and the world is becoming increasingly digital. Beauty and cosmetics are no different. The once simple world of skincare, haircare, and makeup has evolved into a complex and exciting digital landscape, which is being shaped by the emergence of beauty tech.
The consumer products industry is notoriously slow to adapt to the latest trends. It can take years for new technologies to enter mass production and eventually reach the shelves. However, the beauty industry has been far more nimble, quickly adopting new technologies and ingredients to bring new products to market. Now, it’s the consumer products industry that is lagging behind when it comes to innovation.
The world of beauty and cosmetics has expanded far beyond tubes of lipstick in a store, with tech innovations in the industry such as customized and virtual try-ons, tech-powered beauty consultations, personalized smart mirrors and more taking center stage for beauty. Particularly accelerated by social distancing measures and stay-at-home orders of the past year, these tech innovations have taken center stage.
