The $1.8 trillion global consumer wellness market is thriving. McKinsey estimates that the U.S. wellness market is worth $480 billion, growing 5-10% per year.
Kline has noted that opulence for all ages is a key driver in the wellness space. The trend of celebrating inner happiness through physical beauty is being driven by consumers seeking a luminous appearance as a means of radiance for indulgence and luxury in self-care and beauty routines, according to the market research firm’s 2024 Beauty & Wellbeing Trend report.
Here’s a round-up of the latest on-trend products hitting the wellness space today.
For 2024, Alo Yoga expanded its Alo Stackable Wellness System to include three new capsule formulas. Each formula can be taken alone or as part of a personal supplement routine. Superfood Multivitamin covers the daily essentials, while Chill and Energy Pop offer mood support throughout the day. The Stackable Wellness System also includes the brand’s successful first installment of ingestible gel shots.
Mirroring its existing Glow System for skin, body, and hair care, the formulas contain amla, a potent antioxidant superberry.
Alo Yoga said it will release two additional Capsule drops as a part of the ingestible stacking system later this year.
Unlike other non-drug acne products, the brand said Nutrafol Skin goes well beyond the conventional root causes, and ingredient-based, skin-focused data. Its clinically tested formula reduces mild to moderate acne breakouts and visibly improves post-acne dark spots with a proprietary Synergen Skin Complex and standardized 100% drug-free ingredients, according to Nutrafol.
The supplement is sold in a tasteless powder that can be added to any food or beverage, according to BrainMD, which was founded in 2009 by neuroscientist Daniel G. Amen.
Both products are formulated with a blend of pure signal microalgae, known as SPi4 Complex, which is encapsulated in natural olive oil to improve skin’s hydration. The four microalgae actives protect and regenerate, effectively stimulating the body’s own natural collagen production and are scientifically proven to boost hydration and restore radiance, according to the company.
The Vitamin Shoppe recently added some new supplements to its vast inventory. The company’s registered dietitian and nutritionist Brittany Michels, said: “From sleep-enhancing mocktails to workout boosters; magnesium, berberine and shilajit are sparking trends that are hard to miss.”
• Magnesium, renowned for its sleep-inducing properties, combines with L-theanine to create a calming effect, perfect for unwinding with a Sleepy Girl Mocktail.
• Shilajit is recommended for its potential to enhance workouts thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and fulvic acid content.
• Berberine aids weight management and gut health through its anti-inflammatory properties and impact on gut bacteria balance.
