Recap 2: Sharing Intimate Care Market and Ingredient Trends
Due to social and cultural constraints, intimate care topics are usually difficult to discuss openly in public forums. This year, the SCC Annual Meeting featured intimate care as a new focal point, successfully providing a valuable platform for industry professionals to discuss. This initiative filled the knowledge gap in intimate care and strongly advanced market development, pushing the industry toward greater specialization and diversity.
Lois Lu, General Manager of Bloomage's U.S. Subsidiary, delivered an insightful presentation at the meeting. She thoroughly analyzed the growing trends in the intimate care market, highlighting that consumer demands for both comfort and efficacy of products are increasing while discussions about the category on social media continue to rise. She also shared successful product case studies, providing valuable industry insights to attendees.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has emerged as a highly prospective ingredient in intimate care formulations. Its exceptional moisturizing properties help maintain hydration and elasticity of the intimate areas, alleviating discomfort and potential health issues caused by dryness. In the context of growing consumer awareness of intimate care and increasing demands for product quality, HA's natural and gentle properties make it an ideal ingredient choice, aligning with consumers' pursuit of safe and effective intimate care products.
With technological advancements, HA applications in intimate care products are becoming more diverse, ranging from daily cleansing and moisturizing products to specialized care products like intimate repair gels and personal lubricants. These innovative applications inject strong momentum into product innovation and upgrades in intimate care, further expanding the potential market space.
Guided by the corporate mission of "Creative Technology For Vibrant Life," Bloomage will further increase its investment in the raw materials business, continuously building corporate competitiveness centered on technological strength, product and brand power. The company will develop more high-quality bioactive raw materials and related end products by leveraging core biotechnology.
