Meiyume’s Onyx Collection: Integrating Insights from Neuroscience into the Realm of Beauty
Onyx Range
March 2023 – At Meiyume Trowbridge, our Skincare Centre of Excellence based in the UK is driving transformation in the beauty industry by developing inventive and effective products in various categories such as high-end skincare, hair care, self-tanning, SPF, and hybrid color cosmetics. We collaborate with industry innovators, both established global brand houses and emerging indie brands, and provide customized and comprehensive full-service solutions while maintaining confidentiality. Our team works closely with our partners to produce cutting-edge formulations that lead the industry.
Our UK Innovation team has introduced the Onyx range as a ready-made beauty collection that partner brands can adopt, which takes inspiration from neuroscience and beauty. It’s an emerging area of research that explores the relationship between the brain, our perception of beauty, and the impact of beauty on our overall well-being. Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, including the brain, and how it influences our behaviour, thoughts, and emotions. The field of neuroscience and beauty is a fascinating area of research that offers insights into the complex relationship between our brains, our perception of beauty, and our well-being.
Neuroscience Beauty Insights
In today’s world, consumers inhabit a multisensory world where their brains integrate inputs from all five senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste – to shape their experiences and perceptions. These multisensory encounters occur continuously and often without our conscious awareness. By comprehending how these sensory connections operate in the human mind, we can gain valuable insights into designing products that capitalize on this phenomenon.
Antonio Damasio, a renowned expert on emotions, posits that as much as 80% of our choices and decisions are influenced by our emotional states. This reasoning highlights the importance of emotions in shaping our behavior, including our preferences for beauty products. Neuroscience research further underscores the efficacy of investigating beauty-related phenomena, as evidenced by several insights. By understanding how the brain processes beauty-related information, companies can inform product development and marketing strategies. Research exemplifies the utility of such research in the beauty industry. Overall, neuroscience insights illustrate the importance of beauty-based research, providing a scientific basis for understanding the powerful effects of beauty on our emotions, behavior, and well-being.
Onyx collection presents 9 neuroscience – inspired products that offer lifestyle solutions to soothe the skin, body and mind. Inspired by bath houses around the world, end-to-end experiences away from tech and distractions will soothes the senses and stimulate imagination.
