In this episode, we kick off a three-part series diving into Kobo’s global trends shaping the beauty and cosmetics industry for 2025! Over the course of the series, we’ll dive into six key trends, and in this first episode, we focus on two: ‘Your Skin, Your Way’ and ‘Sun Goes 360.’ To break down each trend, we’re joined by special guests, including Erin McGovern from Kobo’s Marketing Department, who will offer an in-depth look at the two trends.

We also feature special formula spotlights that align with each trend! For ‘Sun Goes 360,’ Maria Garcia Alvarez from Kobo’s UK Applications Lab walks us through KSL-564-EU 360 Light Shield SPF, a sunscreen offering protection from UV, HEV, and IR rays. For ‘Your Skin, Your Way,’ Adriana Games from the Kobo US App Lab joins us to discuss the KFL-332B Ceramide Facial Moisturizer, a standout formula designed to nourish and protect the skin with liposome-encapsulated ceramides and other skin-loving ingredients.

Tune in for this essential episode as we start to uncover the latest industry trends and the innovative formulations driving them. Don’t miss it!
