Welcome to this week’s edition of The Pulse Shift – our weekly drop of consumer truth, powered by Smytten PulseAI.
This time, we dip into the world of handwash: a category where convenience, scent, and skin-friendliness collide.
Here’s a Taste of What You’ll Uncover in the Full Report
Pump Is Prime

🔍 PulseFind
Consumers prioritise ease and hygiene in their format choice. Brands should double down on pump-first designs and bundle them with value-led refill packs to win both convenience seekers and eco-aware users.
Naturally Demanding

🔍 PulseFind
Consumers want more than just germ-kill—they expect care. Formulations that combine antibacterial agents with moisturising, skin-safe naturals are no longer a niche; they are the new benchmark for mainstream appeal.
Trust ≠ Usage

🔍 PulseFind
A large gap exists between being known and being chosen. Brands must focus on trust-building, in-hand experience, and mid-funnel education to convert salience into trial and loyalty.
