Formulating skin care for menopausal women

According to a 2023 survey by Skin Health Alliance,​ 96% of menopausal women questioned stated that they had experienced skin changes because of the menopause The most common differences included an increase in fine lines and wrinkles, drier and thinner skin and a loss of skin’s elasticity. 

The same survey also found that these changes could have an impact on mental wellness, as well as the physical impact, as 43% of menopausal women believed that they had become less attractive; 28% no longer liked looking in the mirror; and 22% felt stressed and/or depressed by the changes happening to their skin. Thus, highlighting a need for efficacious products within this sector of skin care. 

Indeed, in recent years, as more beauty and personal care companies focus on diversity and inclusion and venture into once-niche​ or even ‘taboo’ sectors, there has been an increased focus on beauty ranges for menopausal women, mainly in the skin care​ and hair care categories.

Based on this surge of interest in skin care for menopausal women​, London-based spa brand Elemental Herbology has launched its new Pause & Renew Gel Mask – a gel-texture mask that it has specially designed to help reverse signs of perimenopausal and menopausal skin.  

The formulation is based around Traditional Chinese Medicine and blends adaptogens, vitamins and antioxidants including ashwagandha, red clover, and niacinamide to give intense hydration and boost collagen production, which can in turn help to tackle the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
