The Intersection of Beauty & Wellness
The act of practicing healthy habits is not new, but consumers’ definition of wellness—and their outlets for achieving it—are evolving. From the foods we eat, to the products we wear, and the activities in which we participate, the trifecta of body, mind, and soul is the key to look and feel our best. Circana’s global beauty industry advisor Larissa Jensen will reveal newly released research on consumers’ wellness priorities and the impact these behaviors are having across different industries. Being one of the few categories that strikes all three wellness chords, beauty will be used as a case study, with lessons and thought starters that can translate to other businesses.
