Wonderful day yesterday at the WSL Strategic Retail Wellness Symposium. Heard from so many experts including Nielsen's own Jacqueline Flam Stokes and Sherry Frey. The symposium had a strong focus on: 🚺 Women's health - specifically sexual health, postpartum, and menopause. Ending stigma's around sexual health in women and how there is a huge opportunity for brands to focus in on the Menopause consumer. 👵 Health Aging - how brands often forget about the older consumer, even though 70% of wealth in the US is with consumers over 55. More marketing and advertisement strategies should include this age group. 💵 Gen Z is projected to be the largest generation ever, as well as the wealthiest. This generation wants to purchase products that emphasize authenticity, transparency, and are better for the environment. 🍦 Some interesting insights on the idea of the "Wellness Counter Movement - do consumers want more Twinkie's?" Did you know that 28% of food and beverage sales comes from products with 10 grams or more of added sugar? And 26% of food and beverages sales come from products with 300 mg of sodium or more?

What trends are impacting beauty, and wellness in 2024?

How are you staying mindful of women's health in your product development? The amazing Karin Linnewiel Hermoni eloquently states her thoughts in this Women In Nutraceuticals blog, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach, not just in product development, but as women ourselves approach self care. Thanks for your amazing insights, Karin! https://lnkd.in/gDMCnRzC

According to a study conducted by Human8 for L'Oréal in 2022, 88% of women and 80% of men reported that beauty products help them feel more self-confident. This statistic underscores the vital role that beauty plays in enhancing self-esteem and overall wellness. For more insights into the intersection of beauty and wellness, check out the full "Beauty is a wellness story" on the L'Oréal website. The project explores how beauty routines contribute to personal well-being and confidence. #dowhatmatters #beautyresearch
