Sustainable, clean and plastic free, is a top priority for shoppers moving into 2023 according to a new study conducted by a Natural Grocers’ Nutrition Education team, consisting of health and wellness experts ranging from Registered Dietitians to Certified Natural Foods Chefs, collaborated with the retailer’s purchasing, marketing and analytics teams.

In 2023, consumers will be lowering their plastic footprint one bottle at a time. Solid body care products are more environmentally friendly than your typical bottled shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and lotions. These solid bars are plastic free and sometimes completely packaging free, the bars are made with less water than liquid versions, and they even last longer.

If you think you can’t adjust to a solid version of your standard product, think again! As the market for these products has grown, the quality has improved with it. Bar shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and soaps are just as effective and luxurious as your liquid standbys, and you can find one that suits your every need. Natural Grocers will be sharing these trends online and over their social media channels throughout December and in the upcoming volume of their Health Hotline – available online and in print this January

Clear, smooth, glowing skin from the inside out, is a top priority for shoppers moving into 2023 according to a new study conducted by a Natural Grocers’ Nutrition Education team, consisting of health and wellness experts ranging from Registered Dietitians to Certified Natural Foods Chefs, collaborated with the retailer’s purchasing, marketing and analytics teams.

According to Natural Grocers 2023 Research Report, Ingestible Skincare will encourage shoppers to get that healthy glow from the inside out. Furthermore, the consumer research shows that demand for ingestible body care is rising as people take a more holistic approach to skin care. A recent survey⁷ of women aged 30 and up found that 30 percent of respondents said they had bought an ingestible skincare product in the last year—almost DOUBLE the percentage that did so in 2017.

The figure rose to 57 percent in the 25- to 34-year-old group.

While these supplements will surely help us look our best, they’ll also support other areas of health, especially those crucial for healthy aging. In 2023, we’ll see consumers learning about more ways to support that healthy glow from within, while also seeing a rise in demand for supplement products that contain ingredients like collagen or antioxidants to support holistic skin health.
