HOLIDAY TRENDS 2022
This year, as the holidays approach, brands are faced with a multi-faceted consumer. Consumers are
increasingly interested in eye-catching embellishments like cat eye lashes and silver eyeliner. They’re also
prioritizing care with ingredient-driven products like ceramide serums and collagen body lotion.
Using the data within this report, consider ways to make consumers feel festive and pampered with
functional products that have aesthetic appeal. From in-store shelf presence to online social media
campaigns, consumers are all eyes and ears, ready to explore what your brand has to offer.
Thank you,

Give consumers a way to stand out. Whether it’s embellishments such as nail jewelry and cat eye lashes, or products
like silver eyeliner and shimmer body lotion, consumers are looking for ways to stand out. Help consumers bring a
temporary sparkle to their holiday look through clever innovation tools and application tutorials. With the popularity of
lash remover gel for the holidays, also consider what other products consumers will need to aid in removal.
Glam meets care. Consumers also want products that offer skin and hair support beyond what the eye can see. With
popular products like ceramide serum, hair gloss, and shimmer body lotion on the rise, consider ways to offer
consumers both immediate visual appeal and additional long-term benefits.
Go au natural where it matters. Consumers across the fragrance and body care categories are craving natural
products. Searches for natural body wash and goat milk lotion support consumers' desire for natural body care
products. The search for natural perfume also reveals an opportunity for brands to create fragrances that appeal to
consumers from a smell and ingredient perspective.
