Summary

Meat- & Dairy-Based Beauty	The renaissance of meat- and dairy-rich diets is driving a boom in ancestral beauty, with ingredients like beef tallow and animal milks being positioned as the new farm-to-face skincare ideal.
Animal-Derived Ingredient Innovation	As part of a resurgence in Korean and Japanese beauty trends, there’s a whole new crop of marine-sourced ingredients, from jellyfish mucin and marine shells to PDRN skincare, as well as the revival of snail mucin and ostrich oil.
Stem Cell Skincare Steps Up	As human-derived ingredients become less taboo, and the buzz around exosomes shows no sign of slowing down, brands are doubling down on stem cell skincare.
Non-Vegan Supplements	Riding the wave of the collagen boom and the shifting perceptions around animal-sourced ingredients, brands are developing results-driven supplements that use these ingredients for maximum beauty effects.
