Keeping a pulse on emerging wellness trends.

The Harris Poll is conducting a series of surveys on topics of interest to those in the personal care and wellness industries. To that end, we will continue to update this page with additional insights as they become available.

Wellness goals and personal care habits are central to each of our identities. An unprecedented pandemic, and now a looming recession, have highlighted the need to care for our physical and mental wellbeing. How are these, and other key factors, impacting consumers’ wellness choices and purchasing behavior?
