Thus, the question arises – How is this sense of nostalgia impacting beauty and wellness habits in the current scenario? The Impact of Nostalgia Marketing Whether it’s about engaging brand narrative or adding a charming aspect to cosmetics via nostalgic packaging, many brands have been focusing on native practices as part of a holistic approach to wellness to establish trust with a consumer base. This evolving landscape has given a boost to newer brands whose DNA respects the old age rituals and practices which are rooted in nature – the constant adapting and healing source. They want to relive and see through their personality via their product choices. The new-age consumer seeks transparency and is willing to make an effort for meaningful buying decisions. For decades, the beauty industry has been focusing on the look, rather than the “feel-good factor”. They want to embark on a journey to explore new products and brands which reflect nostalgia, hence, leading to an urge to reconnect with their roots which helps ease anxieties. These brands are evolving and focusing more on self-care routines to provide a sense of normalcy.Ĭonsumers want to turn back the clock and teleport into older and simpler times. To meet these expectations, beauty brands are trying to penetrate consumers’ minds and respond to their needs by introducing a product that fulfils the same.
Shoppers are seeking products made out of natural vegan and safer ingredients that mainly emphasize efficiency and functionality with a deeper meaning attached to them. Rather than investing in a magical foundation for flawless skin, the consumers are now more inclined towards a product that makes them feel better. A Sense of Normalcyīeing locked within four walls at homes, the pandemic has given us the time to be more mindful and pay attention to ourselves and our body as a whole which we may have overlooked in the past. Holistic care, mindful products, ethical production cycles and good value products are the key aspects for brands to flourish post-pandemic. The “new normal” has transformed the beauty industry, particularly the production and consumption patterns. One Jell-O salad that's seemed to stand the test of time, though, is the strawberry pretzel salad.As anxieties around COVID-19 have segued into a deeper and more consistent malaise, a longing for simpler times has caused people to reshape everyday behaviour’s around comforting goods and long-established beauty rituals. Taking liberty with the definition of "salad," gelatin molds were all the rage in the 1970s.

"I have brought a lot of fun into the world with this candy I guess, but I am writing this letter because I want to assure you that the product is a safe one," wrote the candy's inventor, Bill Mitchell.
The candy was rebranded as Cosmic Candy, and, in an open letter to parents-which is preserved on Gone But Not Forgotten Groceries' website-the candy's inventor assured parents the candy is safe. But, there was one problem: Parents were concerned the powdery texture of "Space Dust," and the name, was too similar to illegal drugs, like "Angel Dust," also known as PCP. Playing off the success of Pop Rocks, General Mills released a "Space Dust" candy in 1976 that was basically a ground-up, powdery version of the candy. Space Dust Candy Courtesy of General Foods
