The concept of beauty has evolved significantly over time. People have progressively adopted a more inclusive definition of beauty, recognizing its multifaceted nature that encompasses age, race, ethnicity, gender, body type, and more. This broader perspective has led to greater acceptance and celebration of individual uniqueness.
With beautytech, short for beauty technology, people can now freely explore, express and enhance their unique features, fostering a deep sense of empowerment and self-confidence like never before.
Boost to the beauty technology market
Statista reported in 2023 that the amount of revenue in beauty technology markets worldwide is $8.15 billion. This market is expected to grow by 4.98% annually.
That looks good, and with the beauty tech sector expected to grow, people working in the industry need to understand the language.
Discover a world of beauty technology concepts
TechRepublic Premium has created a quick glossary of 49 key concepts to help people understand what's going on.
For example, biometric skin analysis refers to the collection, measurement and analysis of different biometric data points related to an individual's skin using modern technologies. This analysis provides useful information about skin health, conditions and characteristics, facilitating personalized guidance on skin care, treatment approaches and product options.
You will also find the concept of cosmeceuticals, a type of skin care product that combines cosmetics and medications. These products are designed to provide both cosmetic and therapeutic or medical results. Cosmeceuticals often contain active chemicals that go beyond moisturizing and target particular skin care conditions (e.g., aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation).
What's more, the resource sheds light on lipidomics. This is a discipline of science that specializes in the comprehensive study of lipids in biological systems. Lipids are a large and complex class of chemicals that play essential roles in skin health, such as energy storage, cell membrane construction, signaling, and metabolism. The study of lipidomics is important for the advancement of skin care products and beauty technology.
Facial recognition technology refers to a biometric technology that uses algorithms and machine learning to recognize and verify a user by analyzing their facial features. To generate a digital template or facial signature, it evaluates unique patterns and features of an individual's face, such as the position of the mouth, eyes, and nose. At beautytech, this technology allows the customization of beauty applications and services based on the user's facial features.
This resource will also allow you to dive into the realm of mobile beauty apps. These are applications for smartphones and tablets that provide a variety of beauty-related services, information and solutions. These apps are designed for people who need cosmetics, hair care, nail care, skin care and other beauty routines. Mobile beauty apps provide users who want better instruction and personalization of their beauty and grooming routines.
Elsewhere in the glossary, the concepts of scalp health technology, smart adaptive makeup, and virtual try-on are explained.
