Trending Products - Overall Ranking

Key Beauty Insights

☀️ Continued Sun Care Dominance with Accessorization Integration

Building on last month's momentum, sun care products continue to dominate the trending rankings. Notably, FREBITS' sun stick has risen to the #1 position by transcending mere functionality to incorporate the "bag charm" accessorizing trend, offering a keyring-attachable design with playful aesthetic appeal.
 

🔄 Clean Beauty & Naturalistic Formulation Expansion

2025 has witnessed significant traction for clean beauty products emphasizing natural-derived ingredients and minimalist formulations. Enzyme-based cleansers, plant-extract masks, and botanical-focused skincare have proliferated throughout the trending rankings, reflecting consumer preference for gentle yet efficacious solutions.
 

💧 Encapsulation Technology & Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Prominence

May's trending rankings highlight advanced absorption technologies, particularly encapsulated actives and low-molecular hyaluronic acid formulations. These sophisticated delivery systems enhance penetration of hydrating compounds and functional ingredients, providing superior efficacy compared to conventional formulations.

Suncare-Sunscreen Sticks - Trending Ranking

Key Beauty Insights

🧊 Products Combining Cooling Effect with UV Protection Lead the Category

As May temperatures rise, sun sticks offering immediate thermal relief alongside robust UV protection are commanding market attention. Innovative cooling technologies that actively reduce skin temperature while providing high-SPF protection are particularly resonating with consumers preparing for peak summer conditions.
 

🌬️ Airy/Powdery Textures with Sebum Control for Summer Preparation

In anticipation of increasing humidity and heat, consumers are gravitating toward sun sticks with lightweight, non-occlusive finishes and mattifying properties. Products featuring oil-absorbing capabilities and non-sticky applications that maintain a fresh complexion throughout the day are experiencing particular demand growth.
 

🌱 Eco-Conscious Sun Care and Vegan Certification Trend Expansion

Environmental awareness continues to influence the sun care category, with mineral filter formulations and vegan certifications gaining significant market share. Products highlighting ethical manufacturing processes, sustainable ingredients, and reef-safe compositions are achieving differentiation in this increasingly competitive segment.
