The beauty industry has witnessed a myriad of trends. Last month, it was blue beauty, last year, it was clean beauty, and the year before that, it was green beauty. While the recovery time for most of these trends is often short-lived, transparent skincare is a trend that seems to be making a home in our skincare stash for good. Whether it’s anti-ageing or anti-acne, consumers are obsessed with skincare brands that are transparent with their products. And why won’t they be? Honesty has always been the best policy, and this time, a crowd-winner too!
The Sudden Rise
The beauty community is tired of brands hiding their complete ingredient lists, source of key ingredients, their impact, all the processes and manufacturing details the product has been through. This is where ‘transparent skincare‘ makes a well-timed entry. At a time where skincare enthusiasts are extra careful about every cream or serum that touches their skin, product transparency is the new bar. The trend of every other skincare brand switching to transparency might be overplayed, but definitely worth the hype.
Why We Love It
Transparent skincare is the new cool and for all the right reasons. Now, not only will you know exactly what you are putting on your skin, but brands lose the privilege of falsely advertising their skincare products. A serum that can visibly reduce wrinkles and fine lines? Great! Where are your anti-ageing ingredients? Every skincare product is now answerable to their brands’ claims and promises. Moreover, ingredient transparency also leads to a responsible step towards the environment. Most transparent skincare brands have also begun to use ethically sourced natural ingredients (if any).
