Driven by winter's harsh effects and social media trends, lip products are trending. Here’s a quick summary:

Dry air and cold winds this winter are exacerbating lip dryness, leading to increased demand for effective lip care products✨
Searches for peptide lip treatments on TikTok have seen a dramatic 347.5% growth over the past year🔥
Tinted peptide lip treatments, like Hailey Beiber’s Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, highlight a preference for products that combine skincare and makeup🌟
Lip butters, offering intense hydration, have also experienced a significant surge, with Spate reporting 90.1% growth across platforms over the last year📊
TikTok is a major driver behind the popularity of lip butters, with consumers showing a strong interest in ultra-moisturizing formulas💧
Tinted lip oils are also gaining traction, with an 11.6% year-over-year increase📈
Social media trends, combined with a genuine need for relief from winter's effects, are driving the growth of these lip care categories❄️

A proposed partnership between Oracle and TikTok faces potential legal challenges. Here’s a quick summary:

Oracle is emerging as the favored partner for TikTok in the US, proposing a deal focused on data security and operational aspects🔐
The proposal would allow ByteDance to retain control of TikTok's algorithm, a key point of contention🤖
The "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act" mandates foreign ownership not exceeding 20% and no control over content recommendation algorithms🛡️
The Chinese government has stated it will not allow the sale of TikTok's algorithm, and the proposed Oracle deal may violate the act's provisions regarding algorithm control and foreign ownership🚫
The US government has until April 4th to finalize an alternative TikTok deal, with a potential extension📅
The proposed Oracle deal may face legal scrutiny and require further negotiation to meet the act's requirements⏳
