By 2026, the cosmetics industry will be banking on science, personalization and ethical values. The market is expected to reach $580 billion by 2027, according to a study by the Spanish Beauty Cluster.

The beauty industry is enjoying uninterrupted growth, fueled by consumers demanding more than just cosmetics. At the Beauty Trends Lab 2025, it was revealed that the sector is set to reach $580 billion by 2027, with annual growth of 6 %. E-commerce and premium cosmetics play a major role in this dynamic. As the Beauty Cluster, « the strong growth in «scientific beauty» shows that consumers are looking for efficiency and innovation, even in complex environments». "

The age of personalization

Consumer expectations are changing radically. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all solutions; today, they want products designed specifically for them. This hyper-personalization is now possible thanks to artificial intelligence, biometrics and advanced data analysis. « We're going through a structural change. The desire for customized products is shaking up the value chain, »according to the Beauty Cluster.

A growing commitment to social responsibility

Social responsibility occupies a central place among consumers, especially younger ones. A recent survey shows that 73 % of Generation Z are willing to pay more for sustainable products. These new priorities are influencing the industry, which is moving towards recycled ingredients and water-free formulas. The intersection of science, technology and wellness, as the Beauty Cluster points out, « opens up new market opportunities for the coming years». "

With this transformation, the beauty sector is no longer content to focus solely on aesthetics. It is entering a new phase in which science, personalization and values in line with well-being and the environment are valued, redefining our relationship with personal care.

Spring is vigorously committed to limiting the use of controversial materials in cosmetic products, at a time when regulations are being tightened to better protect consumers.

Endocrine disruptors (EDs) represent a major public health issue, with recognized harmful effects on human health. Spring, a French brand, is committed to combating these substances in collaboration with other players in the sector. «Clean beauty», an often-used expression, reflects their aspiration for risk-free cosmetic formulas.

An evolving regulatory framework

The European Union is stepping up its restrictions on certain controversial ingredients. The ban on TPO in semi-permanent varnishes from September 2025 represents a significant milestone. However, Spring co-founder Laure Favre points out: « Regulations are moving in the right direction, but aberrations persist in different sectors. » Clear on this point, she advocates more fluid developments between different industries, such as cosmetics and detergents.

Increasingly vigilant consumers

Demand for «clean» products continues to grow, prompting companies to actively remove controversial ingredients. However, the cohabitation of these expectations with consumer preferences, such as foam or fragrance, remains delicate. Patricia Rannaud-Bartaire, endocrinologist and paediatrician, stresses the need for brands to reconcile expectations with regulatory developments and commercial challenges.

Against this backdrop of change, Spring's constant drive to promote safer alternatives seems to be paying off, both for consumers' health and for the environment. The brand's ambition goes beyond mere regulatory compliance to offer products that reassure without compromising on their efficacy.

Baralan unveils a major update to its glass airless system with an invisible piston, offering new customization possibilities for brands.

Baralan offers a significant evolution of its glass airless system, initially launched under the name DEA (Developing the Evolution of Airless). This pioneering system is distinguished by the absence of an inner plastic container, allowing the product to be in direct contact with the glass. This innovation has recently been enhanced by the integration of a new invisible piston which, while ensuring optimum functionality, remains totally hidden from the naked eye.

Sleek design and customization options

With the update of this system, Baralan emphasizes a design that favors purity, leaving the product perfectly visible through the glass. The mechanism is also designed to ensure that, when dispensing the product, the glass remains clean and free from the residues associated with a traditional plastic plunger. At the same time, the new personalization feature offers brands the possibility of incorporating their logos or designs directly under the plunger, a unique opportunity to reinforce their visual identity.

Technical features and commitment to the future

Baralan's invisible airless system is available in several capacities (15 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml) and can be combined with different styles of cream pump, now including a spray pump. The design is exclusively cylindrical, for optimum product delivery. Baralan, with its six decades of experience, continues to innovate to meet the growing demands for protection of natural and prestigious formulas, while maintaining a firm commitment to aesthetics, innovation and sustainability.
