Beauty industry trends focus on nutricosmetics and spicule technology

The beauty and skincare market is seeing significant innovation through nutricosmetics and the introduction of spicule technology. Nutricosmetics involve using targeted dietary supplements to nourish the skin from within, addressing needs such as sun preparation and anti-aging. For example, the brand S & VAË offers SUNBOOST, a supplement designed to optimize natural tanning and skin elasticity through ingredients like borage oil, evening primrose oil, and various vitamins.

Simultaneously, spicules—microscopic, rigid structures often derived from marine sponges—are gaining popularity in the French market. Used in serums, creams, and masks, these micro-needles create tiny perforations in the epidermis. This process stimulates collagen production, promotes cell regeneration, and enhances the penetration of other active ingredients. While primarily used for facial skin concerns like firmness and radiance, spicule technology is also being applied to hair care to stimulate scalp microcirculation.
