Beyond immediate beauty effects and temporary improvement in appearance, the regenerative beauty craze, which values strengthening the skin's natural functions such as improving damaged skin barriers and activating cells, is leading to an increase in demand for basic products. In particular, the launch of skincare with high efficacy and the popularization of home care were found to have driven the increase in demand for basic cosmetics.
According to the style commerce platform 'ZigZag', the total transaction amount of the basic category, which combines skin care products in Jikjack Beauty, increased more than seven times (616%) compared to the same period last year.
During the same period, the transaction amount of 'skincare', the core of basic cosmetics such as toner, serum, and cream, increased more than 10 times (957%) compared to last year. The transaction amount of 'mask pack', which helps with easy skin care, increased by 4027%, and the transaction amount of 'cleaning', which is the basis of skin health maintenance, increased significantly by 4,297%. Following the record-breaking scorching heat, the transaction amount of 'suncare' to protect the skin from hot ultraviolet rays exploded more than 80 times (7973%).
Interest in biotechnology-based ingredients that lead the regeneration beauty trend is also hot. The search volume of 'exosome', which is effective in regenerating damaged cells in the last three months (May-July), has increased by more than 34 times (3392%) compared to the same period last year, drawing attention. The search volume for 'peptide', which promotes collagen production, and 'ceramide', a key component of the skin barrier, also increased significantly by 882% and 1095%, respectively. It is effective in soothing and regenerating the skin, so the search volume for 'bottle grass', which is widely used in regenerative creams, also increased by 741%.
A Kakao Style official said, `With the spread of beauty trends such as 'regenerative', which forms healthy skin care habits, the demand for segmented basic cosmetics tailored to individual skin concerns is increasing.'
For example, LG Household & Health Care introduced last year 'Figogel DMT Regenerative Cream' is considered to have contributed to the growth of the HDB (Home Care & Daily Beauty) sector last year. Analysts say that the focus on improving the skin's double barrier and enhancing the skin's natural resilience with skin barrier-like components and ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid was effective.
An industry source said "Regenerative beauty is expected to serve as a catalyst for simultaneous upgrading of technology, along with changes in consumption patterns that value 's sustainable health' instead of 'quick change'," he said.
