Just like any other fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) the skincare and the beauty sector are steered and influenced by the trends which in today’s scenario have shifted towards more value-driven rationale than the past decade's band-wagon approach. Consumers are keener on selecting the product that is closer to nature and devoid of any synthetic chemicals.

These masks from Givaudan took around six months to develop and are available 3 formulae varietals: an exfoliating blend made with papaya extract; night blend with natural yuzu extract and a restorative blend with natural dragon fruit. Further, taking the aid of such generation Z narrative, there market players who are trying to redefine the narrative o skincare and are promoting a holistic approach. To this extent, a newly launched Australian company called YORA is worth a mention. With a co-founder who has a strong background working for renowned multinationals in product developments, the company launched in 2002 in February with a wide portfolio of products like face mask among others.
