The intersection of sports and beauty is more commercial than ever, driven by the 2024 Olympics’ spotlight on self-expression in women’s sports and a flourishing cohort of ath-beauty consumers. Speaking to the growing demand for products that empower active lifestyles, brands are enhancing performance and wellness routines with solutions for physical recovery and extreme environments while boosting sweat-resilience and mental clarity.

Supporting Active Lifestyles

Smart beauty brands are recognising key growth opportunities in catering to active lifestyles with more nuanced performance-based products. From sweat-proof cosmetic formulas with lasting hydration to soothing skincare and post-workout recovery, products that prove endurance and efficacy are leading innovation.

Holistic Wellness, New Rituals

As beauty becomes more deeply integrated within the world of sports, consumer needs will move beyond aesthetics and focus more on holistic wellness. Meanwhile, beauty rituals are increasingly aligning with active lifestyles as consumers engage with exercise to optimise skin health. 

Outdoor Focus

As highlighted in Solutions for the New Climate Era, outdoor sports are especially impacted by the rise in hostile pollutants and aggressors, prompting protective personal care developments aimed at athletes and extreme sports enthusiasts.
