Increase in AI skincare research reaches 2,647 %

site-industries-cosmetiques Line graph showing monthly search volume for "AI skincare" over five years. The graph shows a sharp increase from the end of 2023, peaking at over 1.3 million. Last month's searches: 733,000; 26,477 % growth over the past year.

Research into artificial intelligence skincare is increasing dramatically, leading consumers to explore new beauty technologies.

According to research data analyzed by Fresha, searches for “AI skincare” reached 733,000 over the past month, up 2,647 % year-on-year. This surge reflects consumers' growing interest in a new wave of beauty technologies, from skin analysis via selfies to AI-assisted devices designed to personalize skincare at home.

AI skincare: understanding and limits

While AI is becoming increasingly visible in the beauty world, Fresha points out that many consumers still don't fully understand what these tools are, what they can really do, and where their limits begin. Danielle Louise, beauty expert on the Fresha app, said, « AI skincare is taking off because it promises two things that beauty consumers are looking for today: personalization and convenience. "

The AI skincare products that fuel this boom fall into a number of well-defined categories. These include:

  • Skin analysis and selfie scan tools for assessing visible skin features.
  • AI-based product recommendation platforms, using facial scans and questionnaires to recommend suitable products.
  • Intelligent care devices, adapting treatments according to information provided by the user.
  • Predictive technologies for the skin, assessing how the skin may react to certain ingredients.

Danielle Louise adds: « Where they are most effective today is in providing support. They can help guide product selection and make routines more personalized. "

However, it is crucial that consumers remain vigilant in the event of dermatological problems. Danielle Louise warns: “« The danger arises when consumers begin to believe that an intelligent beauty tool can tell them everything they need to know about their skin. It can't. "

Why is AI skincare so popular now?

The rise of AI skincare reflects an evolution in the way consumers approach beauty. Danielle Louise adds, « Consumers are becoming more selective in their purchases, but at the same time, they are exposed to more products than ever before. "

This shift is reinforced by consumers' desire for personalization in their skincare routines, while seeking to avoid the increased complexity of too many options. Trust in these products will depend on brands being transparent about the distinction between practicality and true expertise.

Clariant launches the «Let True Beauty Glow» formulation concept, combining multifunctional innovation and authenticity.

Clariant recently unveiled its «Let True Beauty Glow» Formulation Concept 2026, introducing a beauty innovation strategy designed to celebrate natural radiance and authentic self-expression. The concept is based on the idea of «hacking nature's secret of radiance», where the emphasis is on enhancing what already exists rather than radically transforming appearance.

This formulation concept illustrates two major changes in consumer behavior. On the one hand, value-conscious consumers are looking for higher-performance products offering multiple benefits, moving away from traditional categories to focus on the essentials of their routines. On the other, a trend towards authentic beauty, with minimal ingredients and maximum trust, is replacing exaggerated promises and complex routines.

The portfolio includes 15 innovative formulations aimed at meeting these changing needs, including hair care solutions such as GlowRay Hair Mist, protecting hair on beach days, and FreshUp Body Spray, offering an instant cooling effect. Formulations take advantage of Clariant's advanced ingredient technologies, including Aristoflex variants for lightweight textures, plant-derived emulsifiers and emollients, and Eclipsogen UV filters for advanced protection.

Clariant will also be showcasing its «Let True Beauty Glow» concept at NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2026 on May 19 and 20 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, booth 841, where visitors will have the opportunity to test formulations and discuss their potential in new product development.

Cosmetic innovation: Timeless Lips by Bruno Vassari

Bruno Vassari launches Timeless Lips, a spray-on anti-aging balm for lips and lip contours.

When it comes to anti-aging skincare, lips are rarely considered a priority. However, this area is particularly revealing of the passage of time. Thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, lip skin contains fewer protective lipids and retains less moisture, making it more prone to dehydration and the appearance of fine lines. What's more, exposure to cold, wind, pollution and UV rays accelerates volume loss and reduces lip contour definition.

To meet this need, Bruno Vassari, a Spanish professional skincare brand, introduces Timeless Lips - Plumping and Moisturizing Peptide Balm. This anti-aging balm combines science and comfort to visibly improve lip quality. Its advanced formula includes new-generation peptides and highly moisturizing active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention and optimize lip tissue structure. The result is softer, better hydrated and visibly healthier lips. At the same time, it provides a natural plumping effect that redefines lip contours and reduces the appearance of fine lines, achieving a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Unlike most lip volumizing products, which rely on irritating mechanisms such as reactive vasodilation - causing slight swelling often accompanied by tingling or burning sensations - Timeless Lips takes a physiological approach. Its technology acts directly on the quality of lip tissue, stimulating key skin processes to progressively improve lip density and volume without causing irritation or discomfort. This approach guarantees a more natural, comfortable and long-lasting result.

From the very first application, lips appear smoother, brighter and more comfortable. With continued use, there is a gradual improvement in surface texture, an increase in volume, a visible reduction in vertical lines and an overall improvement in density and uniformity.

BASF unveils its «Beyond Beauty: Authentic+» concept, focused on authenticity and emotional well-being, at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris.

In a world where digital beauty filters can instantly create idealized images, BASF's «Beyond Beauty: Authentic+» concept, presented at in-cosmetics Global in Paris, invites a return to authenticity. « At BASF, we believe that personal care should help everyone feel good about their bodies, beyond any digital ideal. »says Boris Gaspar, Head of Market Development Personal Care EMEA. « With Authentic+, we redefine beauty as a deeply personal and emotional experience, drawing on our historical expertise in sensory analysis and new emotion-based approaches. "

A return to authenticity

Rather than competing with digital image manipulation, BASF promotes personal care that takes into account the overall health of the individual. The products combine sensory rituals and experiences that reinforce self-confidence, while enhancing individuality. The «+» in Authentic+ symbolizes the emotional dimension, with formulations designed to elicit genuine emotions, a sense of connection and self-esteem. Unique textures, such as lotion-to-powder emulsions and water-based massage oils, transform daily routines into skincare rituals, encouraging everyone to embrace their true identity.

BASF is also launching two new products at the show:

- Plantigenix Bisabolol: a biotechnological active ingredient offering high purity and soothing properties. Produced by fermentation, it meets the growing demand for natural cosmetics focusing on well-being and skin comfort. Its manufacturing process guarantees consistent purity while reducing pressure on natural resources. - Uvinul T 150 X EcoBalanced: the first UV filter in BASF's Biomass Balance (BMB) version, this product offers a reduced carbon footprint by replacing fossil raw materials with renewable resources, while maintaining the same efficiency as conventional versions.

These bottles—«Nude Veil,» «Color Shield,» and «Base & Top»—offer a glimpse into the trends at the 2026 Cosmoprof trade show.

Fiabila unveils technological advances in nail care and polish, redefining the standards of nail color & care.

At the Cosmoprof 2026 event, Fiabila presented four innovations that are transforming the design of beauty products for nails.

4IN1 Nail Care Remover: nail polish remover rehabilitated as a care product

Fiabila introduces the first 4-in-1 «mochi» gel remover, designed as a skincare step. This hybrid product combines the functions of remover, mask, scrub and primer, transforming removal into a genuine skincare ritual. Its 98.5 % natural-origin formula, enriched with vegetable oils and keratin, respects and strengthens the nail.

Nail'N'Hair Milky Serum: an innovation for nails & hair

Fiabila has achieved a world first with the creation of a unique formula dedicated to nails and hair. This multi-functional treatment combines ceramides, fatty acids, argan oil and marine complexes to strengthen, nourish and protect in a single step. Its light, non-greasy texture meets consumers' expectations for simplicity and effectiveness.

SPF50+ Color Shield Nail Polish: nail polish becomes a sun shield

This innovation is the first integrated color varnish with SPF50+ sun protection. Thanks to UVA/UVB technology combined with antioxidant marine extracts, the formula protects keratin against oxidation. This launch ushers in a new era in which color also becomes a gesture of protection.

2-Step Next Gen G.E.L: the first UV gel in a twist pen

Fiabila presents the 2-Step Next Gen G.E.L, a system in twist pen format that simplifies application. The system combines two coats of color and a no-wipe top coat in just two steps. Its technology ensures up to three weeks« hold, guaranteeing precise, clean application.

Clarins presents the Double Serum Foundation, combining skin benefits and make-up, in iconic packaging reinvented by Clarins. Aptar.

Following the launch of Double Serum in 2024, Clarins unveils Doube Sérum Fond de Teint. This innovation uses the same packaging as the best-selling product, with two-in-one dispensing technology and progressive dosage.

Consumers are increasingly looking for skincare benefits in their make-up formulas. The «skinification» trend is emerging as a key market driver, with 94 % of US make-up consumers using products offering skin benefits in 2024. The most sought-after benefits include hydration, SPF protection and anti-wrinkle action.

Double Serum Foundation uses patented dual-chamber packaging for two-in-one dispensing, separating 70 % of make-up formula from 30 % of hydrous phase. This guarantees optimum compatibility during application. The adjustable dial enables progressive dosing of the 37 shades on offer, reducing waste. The metallized design features a locking system and incorporates 38 % of recycled materials, according to Clarins.

My Beacon presents Ephém, the first plastic-free connected label, designed to compost in 30 days and compatible with eco-responsible packaging.

The Ma Balise brand has launched a new range of connected labels, Ephém, to meet the growing demands for sustainability in the cosmetics industry. The labels are designed to be compostable under industrial and domestic conditions, while offering a robust alternative to conventional PVC labels, which take centuries to decompose.

By integrating Ephém into the Cahier Impulse FW27-28 from Carlin International, a benchmark player in trend notebooks, Ma Balise underlines the importance of a technology that erases cleanly. Each copy of the notebook physically contains this functional label, which can be scanned by smartphone. This approach comes at a time when the mandatory Digital Product Passport, which will identify and trace every cosmetic product, will come into force in 2027. Companies that adopt labels like Ephém will be ahead of this regulatory requirement, unlike those that continue to use less sustainable solutions.

Ephém has been certified for compostability and biodegradability by DIN CERTCO and TÜV Rheinland, and its recyclability in the paper stream has been validated by PTS Paper. This enables brands to inform their customers about the environmental impact of their products. « A clean beauty brand that connects its products with a plastic chip is like serving an organic meal in Styrofoam packaging. The intention is there. The consistency isn't. »says Philippe Hénin, founder of Ma Balise.

The Beauty Box collection from Rissmann offers a fresh approach to cosmetics packaging, combining aesthetics and functionality to enrich the customer experience.

Beauty Box is a collection of two-in-one gift boxes, 100 % FSC paper, whose opening mechanism is the focal point of development and customer experience. Conceived as both a gift box and integrated display solution, its engineering invites a fluid, controlled gesture, bringing a sense of discovery. On opening, a discreet lever-action mechanism is activated: the inner tray tilts, elegantly revealing the products.

Without artifice, the box is transformed into a presentation tool, making the moment of discovery scenographic, intentional and memorable. «« This collection is part of a context in which the art of giving and the pleasure of receiving are inseparable from the luxury experience. The ceremonial, the gesture and the rhythm of revelation all play their part in the perception of value. With Beauty Box, packaging goes beyond its primary function to become a vector of emotion, at the service of brand storytelling. »explains Marianne Wenzel, Director of Innovation at Rissmann.

The collection is available in three formats for perfumes, beauty products and make-up, as well as jewelry, charms and precious accessories. Each format retains its uniqueness, while maintaining a consistent, contemporary and refined visual identity common to the entire trilogy.

Rissmann's commitment to sustainable development is reflected in the manufacture of the boxes. The outside is covered with Icon Glam Sand White paper, while the inside is made of Icon Glam Metallic Pastel Brown, both fully customizable. « This collection underlines our determination to reduce our ecological footprint. We focus on the rational use of FSC-certified materials. »says Marianne Wenzel.
