Every year, exploring beauty, health and wellness is like navigating the boundless solar system. We uncover exciting new insights, discoveries and observations. In the galaxy’s star studded, vast space, progress isn’t measured by speed or velocity. It’s about charting the beauty cosmos and finding out what works best for the individual. We must understand the terrain, adjust the course and improve the plan to accomplish the goal of our mission.

Here is a recap of this year’s beauty mission and the discoveries we made on the year long voyage. 

Initial Insights

After spending some serious time in new atmospheres, we realized that an extra layer of defense is always required. We recognized the need for sunscreen as a heat shield, just as much as we need a space suit on Mars. 

Discoveries

Retinol, Niacinimide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C were key formulas that we learned were powerful and effective when used correctly. We understood how these products and even a trip to the dermatologist can heal the skin like never before. As we navigated the turbulence of skincare, we came close to discovering the right flight plan. 

Observations

Through observation, we concluded that any type of skin protection is better than nothing. Tinted moisturizer was the ultimate solution. We enhanced our ability to adapt to new environments and protect the skin with low maintenance tinted moisturizer products. 

Additional Findings

As we explored the vastness of the beauty space, nails were no longer an afterthought. The perfect manicure became a mission critical operation. We focused on small details like nail care, polish perfection and design.  

The Final Observation

The last checkpoint was hair care. We realized that much was needed to prepare for the journey “ahead”. We developed an innovative approach to protect and manage the crown using products with ingredients like biotin, argan oil and hemp. 

The Outcomes

We journeyed beyond surface levels and explored factors like vitamins, nutrition, eyes, and ears. We evaluated affirmations and positive vibes, while observing what we ate, what we needed and how to improve the senses for space missions. Self care became the central control panel for expansive intergalactic travel.

The Long-Mission Plan

The biggest takeaway from 2025 was not the outcome of a single mission, but a shift in views. Beauty and wellness became less about launching the rocket and more about long term missions. That meant finding ways to stay proactive, consistent, and safe on any terrain. More feedback will be provided as the next mission unfolds.
