Stephenson is well known for its dedication to quality, sustainability, and customer cooperation. It is a pioneer in the creation and formulation of soap bases, syndets, and specialized ingredients for the personal care sector.
"When it comes to consumer demand for sustainable, inclusive, and effective products, the beauty and personal care industry is on the cusp of an even bigger transformation," says Rob Carr, Managing Director of Stephenson. Our R&D team, a worldwide innovator, has identified three key trends for 2025 that will support our goal of producing high-quality, environmentally friendly goods that empower both consumers and businesses.
Taking charge of one's appearance
Customers are choosing items that safely and efficiently enhance their natural beauty over intrusive cosmetic procedures. A notable decrease in filler operations indicates a move toward non-invasive, holistic skincare options. The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) reports that filler procedures decreased by 27% in 2023. Stephenson's Durosoft line, which uses naturally sourced polyglyceryl esters, makes it possible to create nourishing skincare products that promote healthy aging without intrusive procedures, as customers place a higher value on safety and individuality than strict beauty standards.
Age-appropriate beauty
Customers of all ages are prioritizing skin health and longevity over temporary solutions, which is changing the conversation around anti-aging. Demand for multipurpose, easily accessible cosmetics that nourish the skin and fight against stressors like pollution and UV rays is growing among Gen Z and Baby Boomers. This desire for straightforward yet efficient skincare products is met by Stephenson's semi-finished soap bars, which are enhanced with nourishing components like goat milk. Using mild and adaptable ingredients, the Syndopal line is designed for everyday use and supports long-term skin and hair health. These products promote a lifetime of good skin and are prime examples of the "prevention over repair" mentality.
