Trends on the Rise

• Gen Z Sun Protection: A Fresh Approach
  Gen Z isn’t buying traditional sunscreen, so it’s time to rebrand. This is a branding and education play where you avoid the word "sunscreen" altogether. Instead, focus on highlighting the risks of not using sun protection in a simple, shocking way. Push this new brand on TikTok, attach it to a fun, relatable concept, and watch it take off.

• Trunk or Treat Kits: Halloween Essentials
  As Halloween approaches, Trunk or Treat kits are a must-have. These kits provide everything needed for a festive trunk setup at community events, making them perfect for families and local gatherings. With customizable themes and easy-to-use components, they’re set to be a hit this season.

• Mouth Tape: A Better Night’s Sleep
  Mouth tape is gaining traction as a simple solution for better sleep. It encourages nose breathing during the night, which can improve sleep quality and reduce snoring. Marketed as an affordable, easy-to-use product, it’s an ideal pick for health-conscious consumers looking to optimize their sleep.

• Moss Agate Jewelry: Unique and Trending
  Moss agate rings and bracelets are becoming increasingly popular, especially as unique gemstone jewelry gains momentum. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, thanks to the natural patterns in the stone. Position this as a must-have accessory for those looking to stand out with something truly unique.
