These Are the Top 5 Wellness Trends For 2022

Clean Beauty and Self Care

Now more than ever, purchasing products with natural ingredients are at the forefront of most consumers’ minds. But it’s not just what is inside the products that counts. Commitment to sustainability in packaging and diversity in brand leadership are other important factors informing self care and beauty consumption this year. To make sure you’re purchasing ethically, look out for things like Fair-Trade and B Corp certifications.

Mental Wellness

As we all know, it’s just as important to feel good as it is to look good. This year, the wellness industry is taking steps to incorporate stress and anxiety reduction into their business through practices like hiring psychologists to be on staff at spas, introducing mindfulness programs at wellness centers and psychedelic healing.

CBD and Medical Marijuana

From coffee shops to nail salons, CBD-infused products are quite literally everywhere, and this year is predicted to be a big year for CBD products in spa and wellness centers. Whether it’s through products or treatments, CBD and medical marijuana will offer more unconventional solutions to the effects of stress, aging, inflammation and more.

Wellness Journeys

After more than a year of staying home, many consumers are not waiting any longer to book wellness trips and retreats. With more opportunities to travel safely, taking trips around the world to foster wellness through treatments like red-light therapy, salt rooms, infrared saunas and vitamin drips are becoming more and more mainstream.

Beyond Sustainable Luxury

Just like those taking advantage of wellness journeys, many are seizing the opportunity for eco-conscious, luxury vacations to destress. Thanks to trailblazers in sustainable hospitality, many brands are now able to go further than just plastic-free or carbon-neutral initiatives. Big brands are now looking towards regenerative practices and actively giving back to the environment and local communities through things like regenerative agriculture, vegan 5-star restaurants and Climate Neutral Certifications.
