Soap and bath products launches are struggling but shower products show strong promise

Ma Kibell Brittany Sand Exfoliating Shower Gel

Soap and bath brands are also adopting sensoriality and skinification. Exfoliating claims in shower products have grown 86 percentage points over the last five years and now represent 6% of launches. Ma Kibell’s Brittany Sand Exfoliating Shower Gel, launched in France in July 2025 takes this to a regional sensorial level, with visible suspended grains of sand offering exfoliation, all with a Northern French twist.
