What Are the Leading Skin Lotion Claims?

Written by Bill McClure | Jul 26, 2024 2:00:00 PM

The skin care market continues to grow with an influx of new brands and products striving for excellence. However, what distinguishes one brand from another? Consumers select skin lotions they perceive to offer the greatest benefits.  Consequently, companies showcase their products’ performance and advantages through various product claims.

Discover what skin lotion brands claim to promote their products in this competitive environment:

Top performance claims:

Nourishes and soothes
Consumers seek skin lotions that actively nourish and soothe skin, leaving it soft and healthy. Formulations should sink into one’s skin to deeply rehydrate, rather than merely sitting on the surface.
Helps retain skin moisture
When purchasing skin lotion, consumers look for products that help retain their natural skin moisture as well as enhance it throughout the day. Formulations must prevent dryness immediately or shortly after application, ensuring prolonged skin hydration.
Non-greasy formula sinks in easily
Consumers look for products that are easy to apply and do not leave a greasy residue on their skin or clothing. Formulations should absorb quickly into the skin to prevent this issue from arising.
Improves appearance of lines and wrinkles
Consumers seek skin lotion products that rejuvenate their skin, helping them appear younger. Formulations should reduce signs of aging and improve skin elasticity to minimize lines.

 

Other performance claims:

Hypoallergenic ingredients
Because many consumers have sensitive skin and experience allergic reactions to lotions, finding a product that suits your body can be challenging. Formulations should alleviate these concerns for buyers by using allergy-friendly ingredients.
Natural and biodegradable ingredients
With the rise of eco-conscious consumers, there’s a growing demand for natural skin lotions. Formulations must meet this expectation by incorporating plant-based, biodegradable ingredients.
