Evonik launches consumer inspired “Treatment Masque” concept during the NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2019

Facial masks have witnessed rapid growth over the last several years, and forecasts point to continued 5-year growth rates exceeding the broader personal care market. This growth has come in part due to heightened consumer aspirations for solutions that provide ritualistic and holistic product experiences.

But over recent years, facial mask product claims have expanded from more traditional wash-off oriented claims to place more emphasis on tangible skin improvement benefits. This has been led by consumer behavior, as observed through Google search data, which suggests greater interest in masks as a vehicle for improving skin outcomes. Increased consumer knowledge about anti-aging ingredients used in traditional leave-on skin care is informing a demand for masks that combine scientifically-driven skin treatment with the holistic aspirations of traditional mask formats.

In much the same way that broader skin care is witnessing a premiumization effect, treatment masques represent the premiumization of the facial mask category. As with skin care, a more well-informed and ‘plugged in’ consumer is becoming more willing to pay for solutions that fulfill their aspirational and efficacy goals. Through Treatment Masques, there is finally a beauty regimen that combines scientifically driven skin treatment with holistic aspiration of a spa. Utilizing its expertise in active ingredients and sensory spheres, Evonik is helping brand owners interested to leverage the momentum of this emerging product category through the launch of a new trend concept that includes six inspirational guide formulations.

Evonik’s Treatment Masque concept includes 6 guide formulations that combine a range of active ingredients along with different sensory formats. These include:

• Intensive Under Eye Peel-Off Mask offers consumers the promise of reducing the appearance of tired skin and dark circles under the eyes through use of ROVISOME^® F.E.C and TEGO^® Pep UP.
• Rejuvenating Overnight Lip Mask fulfills consumer demand for a hydrating and nourishing night product to care for the lips after a long day of assault and is enabled by use of Ceramide III B and AquaPront^®.
• Naturally Refreshing Mask for Age-less Skin allows consumers to enjoy the natural power of moisturization and skin protection through carefully selected botanical extracts TEGO^® Turmerone and TEGO^® Natural Betaine.
• Age Defense Sleeping Facial Mask makes use of its long contact time with the skin to provide skin hydration, protection, and radiance all in one product, enabled by use of HYACARE^®, HYACARE^® 50, Skinmimics^®, and ROVISOME^® Q 10 NG.
• Ultra Hydrating Milk Sheet Mask allows consumers to enjoy a device-like treatment from the comfort of home, using an active ingredient impregnated sheet mask that delivers intense hydration and the appearance of energized skin, using HYACARE^®, TEGO^® Cosmo C 100, and AquaPront^®.
• Urban Warrior Charcoal Mask helps to purify the skin both through the use of trendy charcoal as well as scientifically advanced skin actives to reduce the appearance of redness and other skin blemishes, using Phytosphingosine and dermofeel^® Toco 70.
