Beauty‘s New Definition: Emotional well-being Takes Center Stage, Global Report Finds
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – A new global report released today reveals a significant shift in how women perceive beauty, moving away from ideals of perfection and towards a focus on emotional well-being, self-confidence, and daily self-care. The findings indicateโข that beauty rituals are increasingly viewed as essential for feeling emotionally supported, connected, and in control.
The report, conducted by Oriflame, a global โฃbeauty and well-being company, highlights a โฃstrong correlation between feeling good and looking good, with 95% of respondents recognizing a link between the โtwo.

“This report reaffirms what we have believed for decades: that beauty is a deeply emotional and empowering โexperience,” said Anna Malmhake, executiveโ director and presidentโ of Oriflame. “Worldwide, women tell us โthat beauty rituals help them feel connected, safe and connected with themselves. That is exactly the type of beauty that Oriflame represents: accessible, effective and emotionally significantly.”
