VALUES IN MOTION
Inspired by optimistic approaches to the many changes in routines that have been identified around the globe — some linked to the pandemic, others unrelated, TrendsLab goes beyond its traditional focus on beauty to reach all areas of one’s new chapter: social interaction, sustainability, digitalization and more.
Each region will customize the concept of “Next” to better answer their unique challenges — regulatory deselection, anti-technology sentiment, new cleansing actions. Best of Next will show how the changes brought to different regions are relevant and worth pursuing in a positive and efficient manner by adopting the “best” possible technologies, including those offered by Dow’s industry-leading, vast portfolio.
- Adaptation is more important than mitigation.
- Reaching new chapters in our journey.
- Adopting the best possible technologies.
- Optimistically approaching what’s next.

Tomorrow’s beauty trends are represented by these three concepts: Out & About, Wholeness and Beauty Aces.
Out & About: make the most of your on-the-go day
Busy lifestyles demand multifunctional efficiency and protection. The global citizen prioritizes formulations that highlight convenience and that can be further customized to meet the needs of different activity levels. From day to night, from work to workout, the complexity of beauty rituals is no longer an excuse for jetsetters across the globe.

A lightweight, non-sticky, mineral-based sunscreen offering UVA and UVB protection in an easy, on-the-go roll-on format.
Bubbly Boost
For the face or body, a convenient stick that gently cleanses, exfoliates, and moisturizes skin.
Wholeness: experience a new level of inclusion
Beyond wellness. Beauty is no longer defined by stereotypes from the past. Embrace your natural beauty with personal care ingredients that make people look better and feel better – no matter the demographics and their individual needs. By linking performance to differentiated sensory experiences, we are bringing together the best parts of soothing beauty journeys that positively impact everyone.

Expertise and know-how that deliver salon-quality results are now a digital touch away. We are optimizing connections that make it work in a brave new world.
Celebrate individuality. Embrace well-being.
We celebrate diversity and individuality while being responsible and fully engaged. We are concerned about the world and what we’re leaving behind. Social consciousness, commitment to the planet and our values, and the desire to make an impact are all part of our lifestyle. Today’s motto: contribute to society in a positive way, embrace our well-being and the environment, and shape a society with positive values. Our credo: DO.

Tomorrow’s beauty trends are represented by these four concepts: Glamorous Beauty, Care/Nomad, Inclusive Beauty and Customization.

Our values give us meaning, drive us, motivate us
Each of us holds values that drive us. Our values help us determine what is important to us in life and are reflected in our outward behavior and language. Our values and how strongly we hold to each of them make us truly unique. Values can shift gradually over time as we learn more and gain experiences, but large-scale changes can also be triggered by multiple factors. In fact, our values are always in a state of motion.
Trends Lab identifies emerging consumer trends and provides on-target, inspiring formulation concepts to help you stay ahead of consumer desires.
Tomorrow’s beauty trends are represented by these four concepts: Gender Revolution, Digital Detox, No Makeup and Water/Water Less.
Gender revolution
Gender Revolution is a reinvention of gender roles. Freed from the binary of “boy” or “girl,” gender identity is a shifting landscape. Gender is blurred – embracing both femininity and masculinity.
Water/water less
Water is the new luxury. Across the globe, water is becoming scarce. This inspires products for many tastes: the eco-conscious, the lover of the simple and natural, and the aficionado of rare and exotic waters. Water is the essence – it is at the heart of everything.
Rose Infusion
A touch of the spa experience, this water-in-balm day cream promotes skin radiance and smoothness.
Happy Sheet
Relax with a foot massage and mask that leaves feet feeling smooth and moisturized.
No makeup
Reveal your true self and feel confident with the perfect no-makeup look. Let your natural beauty shine through. Achieve a natural, fresh complexion that appears effortless.
Micellar purifier
This micellar shampoo is especially mild, gentle and conditioning for frequent shampoos.
Coco addict
This facial hydrating stick delivers moisturization and a fresh, hydrated feel with a soft-focus effect.
We are committed to connecting you with experts and resources to tackle any challenge.
