Demonstrating our expertise in packaging and full service with the launch of our Selfcare Collection, featuring packaging and formulation options for a variety of selfcare categories, including Skincare, Body care, Hair care, Nail care, Color Cosmetics and DIY Selfcare.
Since the impact of COVID-19 selfcare and wellness are more prevalent than ever as consumers now have more time to focus on themselves both mentally and physically, not only as an act of selfcare, but also due to more time spent at home under social distancing conditions. Skincare has become an easy and accessible way for consumers to invest in their wellbeing, helping to create a sense of normalcy during these unprecedented times.
According to The NPD Group, close to 40% of facial skincare users report using their products more often today than a year ago. At ICS, we have been specializing in skincare packaging for almost 30 years and have seen a dramatic rise in demand for skincare packaging for bottles, sprayers, pumps, jars, droppers, and tubes, especially in packaging made from glass and recyclable plastic. Not only due to their formulation compatibility benefits, but their recyclable sustainability benefits. Our Selfcare skincare category features our ICS exclusive Boston Round Molded Glass Bottles in 15ml and 30ml sizes with standard neck sizes to fit various applicators, including droppers, pumps and sprayers, perfect for a variety of skincare formulations. We have also developed our ICS Exclusive Molded Glass Jar. Our simple and elegant 12.5ml jar is ideal for various high-end formulations such as eye creams, lip masks and more.
Interest in Body care and Hair care have also hit a new high at ICS since consumers have realized selfcare does not stop at their face, brands are now seeking body care and hair products that bring the same level of naturalness and efficacy as their face-focused counterparts. ICS’ body care and hair care categories within our Selfcare Collection feature a variety of mono-material and glass packaging options. Mono-material and Glass packaging can both be easily classified for recycling meaning they can easily be reused and repurposed giving the product a longer life cycle making mono-material plastic and glass packaging a highly sustainable choice. ICS Recyclable packaging is available in a variety of different packaging choices, such as bottles, jars, sprayers, sticks and more, perfect for our selfcare formulations, such as our Cannabis Allure Hydrate Mist or our Self-warming Hair Mask.
Color Cosmetics are also adjusting to a new way of life as more emphasis is placed on the eyes and brows in the era of face masks and scrutinous hygiene. The color cosmetic packaging within our Selfcare Collection features packs with built-in applicators as we notice consumers looking for packaging that helps keep their formulation contaminant-free, without the need to touch or apply the product with their fingers, such as our Aluminum Refillable Eyeliners and our Soft-tip Freckle Pen.
Nail care and DIY Selfcare have also gained popularity. DIY manicures, pedicures, facial workouts and at home facial sheet masks offer users a stress-free experience to get away from reality and indulge themselves in the selfcare regiment. Featuring our ICS Nail Files, Buffs, Cuticle Sticks, Facial Sheet Masks, Faux Lashes and more.
As the trend of Selfcare and wellness continue to grow ICS has almost 30 years of experience in packaging and formulation, specializing in color cosmetics and skincare. Our global presence, years of experience and beauty ingenuity keeps ICS at the forefront of trend innovation to provide your brands with innovative solutions to capture the latest trends and consumer needs.
