Exosomes & Regenerative Actives

Natural or plant-derived exosomes are rising in popularity as gentler alternatives to synthetic retinoids. They promise skin renewal, fading pigmentation, and improved skin texture without harsh irritation.

Try This: Beekman 1802 Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream – Uses exosome-inspired technology for skin renewal, acting like a gentler retinol.

Bakuchiol as a Retinol Alternative

Still going strong: bakuchiol offers many of the benefits of retinol (anti-aging, smoothing, brightening) but with less risk of dryness, peeling, or irritation.

Try This: Beekman 1802 Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream – Also falls here since it functions as a retinol alternative (anti-aging, barrier-friendly).

Multi-functional / Skinminimalism

Fewer steps, more function. Products that combine hydration + barrier repair + antioxidants in one are getting traction. People want to simplify, especially in cooler weather when skin is more vulnerable.

Novel Natural Ingredients

These include:

  • Snow mushroom (hydration and glow)

  • Centella asiatica (“Cica”) – soothing, barrier soothing

  • Moringa, blue tansy, marula oil – antioxidant + nourishing properties.

Try these:

Seasonal Texture & Barrier-Friendly Formulas

Fall means drier air, more indoor heating. Skincare is leaning toward richer oils, creams, butters; more nourishing cleansers; fewer stripping ingredients. Also embracing scents and botanicals that feel cozy (pumpkin, spices, warm woods) but formulated cleanly.

Try This: Eminence Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque – Cozy, seasonal texture; nourishing for drier autumn skin.

Sustainable / Ethical Sourcing & Certifications

USDA organic, cruelty-free, small-batch, locally sourced botanicals are strong draws. Also ingredient transparency.

Try This: True Botanicals Chebula Active Face Serum – Focused on ethically sourced, EWG-verified, sustainable botanicals.
