ABSTRACT

The use of supplements to complement a daily health/wellness and beauty routine is quickly becoming the norm for many beauty consumers. Beauty buyers are seeking ways to enhance their well-being through supplements that not only help them feel better, but aid in their beauty concerns – from dehydrated skin to dry and brittle nails. Explore the findings of The Benchmarking Company’s research study of more 3,000 US female beauty buyers to see what she wants from a supplement, what she is buying and the problems she’s looking to solve.

You’ve probably seen them on your Target or grocery store run—bottles, jars, and pouches of supplements in eye catching colors and engaging packaging all prominently displayed to immediately catch your attention. Ingestibles are everywhere! From tablets to gummies to powders to pills to drops, ingestible beauty has become a popular, in-demand product for consumers looking to level up their skincare and wellness regimen with products that aren’t topical at all but instead ingested. And there’s good reason for this interest. Supplements seemingly address every sort-of concern; feature well-known ingredients consumers already use; come in yummy flavors, and are available in a large variety of formats that make them easy to slide into a daily routine, like vitamin gummies or coffee creamer. But most important, according to those who use them, they work! Eighty-percent (80%) of consumers already using ingestibles report an improvement in their health and wellness since they started taking supplements, and interest is growing. Read on to find out what over 2,000 consumers (1) told us they want in a supplement and how your brand can formulate one that will be a winner.
