Barrier Repair. There are 8.5k online searches on average every month in the US for barrier repair, according to research company Spate. Searches have grown 67.9% since last year with four market leaders: Dermalogica, Rovectin, First Aid Beauty, and Zerafite. Top concerns are related to damaged and broken skin barriers, as well as acne as it relates to the skin barrier. Searches for several product formats such as creams (+23.4% year-over-year), serums, oils, concentrates, cleansers and masks show that consumers are looking for different products to support these concerns. Searches also reveal that consumers are looking for ingredients on the topic, including aloe vera, probiotic, jojoba oil, ceramide, coconut oil and vitamin E. The awareness of these ingredients for skin barrier repair is still low, indicating an opportunity for brands to create products focused on these ingredients, claims Spate.
