THE WHAT? DSM-Firmenich has cut the ribbon on a new showcase of its fragrance innovations, research and perfumers. The theme for this year’s Mind Nose Matter exhibition is ‘momentum’ and explores olfactory friction, among other trends.
THE DETAILS Indeed, according to a report published by Business of Fashion, the exhibition is designed to identify key trends shaping consumer culture and translate them into concepts for DSM-Firmenich’s clients. Among this year’s trending themes are women’s sports, nostalgia and novel fragrance formats.
THE WHY? Robin Mason, Head of Fine Fragrance at DSM-Firmenich, told Business of Fashion, “We’re now seeing more purposeful development around the fragrance in these other formats because people are realising it’s the extension of their lifestyle, especially Gen Z, who want to play and try different things.”
Clinical aesthetics products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics or cosmetic dermatology. These products are typically designed and formulated to be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained aestheticians. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain active ingredients or formulations that require expertise in their application or administration.
Examples of clinical aesthetics products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Examples include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectables that temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They can treat acne, pigmentation issues, and signs of aging.
-
Laser and Light Therapies: Devices that emit focused light or laser energy to treat various skin conditions, including acne, scars, and signs of aging.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients like retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants to address specific skin concerns under medical supervision.
