LIQUID HAND SOAP TRENDS Presented by: Fragrance Oils (International) Limited and Cornelius Polska SP. Z.O.O. L: 267613
For a culture that covets convenience, sales of liquid soap are bubbling up as consumers are banishing bar soap in favour of this format. Still perceived to harbour germs, it comes as no surprise that it s a slippery slope for the traditional bar soap. lthough the focus remains on hand hygiene, the next generation of liquid soaps now go above and beyond simply cleansing the skin. While the fight against germs is stronger than ever, leading brands are increasingly blurring the boundaries between liquid hand soap and skin care. Now consumers can choose to lavish their hands and lock in moisture with Honey Crème Liquid Soap (Fa) or even combat tell-tale signs of ageing with Yes To s age-defying Marula Oil Mango hand wash. As if that s not enough, the focus also remains on fragrance when it comes to liquid hand soap. With a wave of new, salt-swept fragrance creations, brands are bottling up the purity of the ocean to capture the crisp, rejuvenating spirit of everything from an Ocean Breeze (J.R Watkins) to Sea Samphire & Water Mint (Imperial Leather). Meanwhile, other brands are prompting consumers to reconnect with the great outdoors with everything from English Oak & Redcurrant (Jo Malone) to Baylis & Harding s Royale Bouquet collection which captures the grace of an English garden. Whether it be a stand-out bottle, luxurious foaming lather or a sophisticated scent, we have lifted the lid on the latest wave of liquid hand soaps. Based on our findings, we have carefully created a collection of eight fragrances, each inspired by key trends of the moment.

Natural living brand Attitude harnessed the natural power of leaf extracts with its Super Leaves Collection. Included in the all new line-up is Lemon Leaves Hand Soap which features lemon leaf extract and vitamin C to help purify and regenerate the skin, while the antioxidant rich formula also prevents tell-tale signs of ageing on the hands. In the US, Method invites us to grace our countertops with the look of luxe with its new limited edition collection. Honing in on the trend for metallic home décor combined with geometric art, variants in this range are said to bring sink-side sophistication.
