Speaking to the prominence of daily beauty rituals for consumers like the Ancestral Wellness Warriors and Soft Life Seekers, shrewd brands elevate mundane routines with delightful scents, ingredients and product design while adding sustainability into the mix. Not only is this unlocking positive sustainability developments in beauty, but it’s bringing more imaginative and emotional resonance to sustainable design (see Sustainability’s Creative Resurgence).
