ISSN 2041-0441 September 2018 EDITOR’S COMMENT Approaching the wellness trend with caution
The growth of the ‘wellness’ trend has been rapid within personal care. It makes a lot of sense that aspects of wellness cross over into our industry as consumers take a more holistic approach to their bodies. We know how important looking good is to a person’s overall sense of wellbeing, and each month we hear more about the links between healthy skin, positivity, mental health, sleep cycles, etc. It is in almost all cases cross-pollination between industries is a good way of
introducing new ideas and promoting innovation. Health and wellness is already closely related to personal care but it is important that we do not undo some of the good work that has been done in taking a more scientific, evidence-based approach to ingredient efficacy. Some celebrity wellness gurus that have hit the headlines in recent years certainly do not take this approach and other areas of the industry rely heavily on mystique rather than solid efficacy studies. There is much to be said for a holistic approach to a healthy body and mind, but let us ensure we do not lose sight of the laboratory.
Richard Scott, Editor PERSONAL CARE EUROPE
