The Context

Why this conversation matters now

The new opportunity in beauty and cosmetics culture did not begin with a runway moment, a formulation lab breakthrough, or a short-lived social trend. It emerged quietly through a hormone, a weekly injection, and bodies undergoing rapid change.

Drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy were developed for blood sugar management and weight reduction, yet their effects now extend well beyond those outcomes. As food habits shift, many users are also reporting changes such as skin laxity, visible skin changes, hair thinning, and greater scent sensitivity.

For brands, clinics, suppliers, and investors, this creates a new decision window. The question is no longer whether GLP-1 is influencing beauty routines, but how quickly companies can translate early signals into sharper portfolio choices, smarter reformulation strategies, and more relevant innovation pipelines.

As GLP-1 usage accelerates, brands and providers who move early on messaging, formulation, and patient education will define how this category is trusted and adopted over the next five years.

What attendees will get

  • A clear view of where GLP-1 is already disrupting beauty demand and product expectations.
  • Practical insight into white-space opportunities across skincare, body care, fragrance, and adjacent formats.
  • A structured perspective on whether to reposition existing formulas or invest in new development.
  • Strategic guidance for the next 12–18 months to stay commercially relevant.
The Agenda

Five themes, one decision window

  1. 1

    Portfolio strategies for a GLP-1 world

    With 1 out of 8 US adults on GLP-1 drugs and adoption accelerating globally, which effects should be targeted, and what products can be built for this new consumer reality?

  2. 2

    Addressing the unmet need

    With 82% of GLP-1 users concerned about loose skin and firmness, and users reporting unexpected changes across the body, which beauty formats and zone-specific solutions are best positioned to meet these needs?

  3. 3

    Smart reformulation vs. trend-chasing

    Although the first wave of product launches appeared in 2025-26, the market already offers products relevant to GLP-1 users. Will future activity likely focus on reformulating and repositioning existing formulas, or on developing new ones?

  4. 4

    Move beyond just physical recovery

    Is physical recovery the only way to support emotional adjustment and self-connection, or will moving beyond it resonate more strongly with this audience?

  5. 5

    The 12–18 month decision window

    Leaders who act now could gain an early-mover advantage in a market that is reshaping billions of dollars in annual spending and make decisions to avoid long-term losses and risks to brand relevance.
