The Beauty Spot

The UK beauty industry is seeing a fast-growing interest in dermocosmetics, a trending term that relates to products that merge skincare with dermatological care, offering solutions that help improve skin health and appearance and target perceived concerns. Consumers are increasingly seeking products backed by science, but it’s important to understand what dermocosmetics are, how they fit into the beauty realm, and the considerations required when developing, manufacturing, and marketing these products.

In this blog, we’ll explore what dermocosmetics are, why they’re trending, the expertise necessary for their development, and the key factors to consider when it comes to claims and regulations, particularly in the UK.

Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast or a beauty brand, now is the time to embrace the mushroom movement. The next wave of beauty innovation is here, and it’s rooted in the power of fungi—beneficial for your skin, the planet, and how products can be packaged.

The beauty industry has moved on from the initial binary approach to the microbiome; it’s no longer simply ‘good’ or ‘bad’ bacteria – we now know it's the delicate balance and rich diversity of our unique microflora that is essential to our skin health. ‘Skin Rewilding’ is a branch of the ‘Dirty Wellness’ trend that counteracts skin concerns triggered by urbanisation, stress and over-cleanliness.
