UCL (CEO Lee Ji-won), Korean cosmetics ODM OEM specialist, published the '2024 Beauty Trend Book' suggesting this year's five beauty keywords: Emotion Therapy, Conscious Beauty, Dopa Cleansing, Cell Science. and Dr. Cleanical.
UCL analyzes beauty trends every year and suggests new formulations and marketing strategies, and proposes skin care, hair, and body products accordingly to its customers.
‘Emotion Therapy’ reflects the growing trend of interest in products and content for a healthy life, such as pursuing both bodily and mental health and improving sleep quality. Some of UCL's products that helps calm the mind are ‘Relaxing Wash-Off Body Treatment’ and ‘Frozen Ice Cooling Body Wash’.
‘Conscious Beauty’ refers to beauty sustainability trend, that minimizes the use of raw materials, carbon foot print production processes, and sustainable packaging. In short, being conscious of the global climate. Examples include: ‘Soft Fit Natural Body Lotion’ provides moisturizing film to the skin with 100% plant-derived ingredients instead of petrolatum derived from petroleum and both ‘Carrot Leaf Purifying Body Scrub’ and ‘Cypress Double Calming Water Scaler’ uses upcycled materials.
‘Dopa Cleansing’ reflects the trend of getting multiple benefits while using a single product. For example, their 'Jeju Carrot Leaf Whipping Cleanser' has a fluffy whipped cream texture that can be used as a facial mask while cleansing the face; 'Smoothing Salt Pack Cleanser', with its dense and sticky bubbles, like foam cleansing, gently massage the scalp while deep cleansing it.
‘Cell-Science’ refers to a hybrid technology that utilizes plant engineering to balance the microbial ecosystem living in the body. The launch of products using clean bio production technologies such as microbiome, plant tissue culture, and plant factories that increase active ingredients through the fermentation process is increasing. UCL introduced 'Plum Beginner Reboot Double Shot Serum' that uses fermented plums from Jeju, takes care of dead skin cells (their research appeared in SCI-level journals and is patent protected), and contains the white wood ear mushroom polysaccharide which is known to increase skin elasticity; 'Golden Hibiscus Callus Moisture Sun-stick' is good for all types of skin and passed the UV protection and acne skin compatibility tests.
UCL predicted the next generation of clean clinical and chose ‘Dr. Cleanical’ as the last trend keyword. As the popularity of derma cosmetics continues, the use of products using pharmaceutical ingredients and products with clinically proven scientific efficacy continues to grow. Some examples are 'Panthenol Calming Fluid' with a bouncy pudding texture full of panthenol, 'Ectoin Multi-Ointment' with high content of ectoin (derived from polar microorganisms and fills the skin from within), and 'Radiance Bonding Cream' that provides extreme moisturizing with the sealing power of the adhesive Hydro Skin Bond, using idebenone liposome's absorption power and skin soothing effect.
UCL has 44-year history as cosmetics ODM OEM turnkey solution provider. It was the first in the industry to introduce the M-ODM concept. Based on many years of know-how and R&D innovation, it provides customized 'original products' from cosmetics concepts to raw materials, formulation, clinical trials, quality control, and production.
