New research reveals rising body skin concerns and growing consumer trust in AI-powered skincare guidance

NEW YORK, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Haut.AI, the award-winning leader in AI-powered skin intelligence and generative skincare personalization, today announced the launch of its new Body Analysis platform, a first-of-its-kind AI-powered body skin analysis technology, designed to help beauty and wellness brands deliver personalized, data-driven bodycare experiences for beauty consumers at scale. Consumers can now try the body skin analysis and bodycare product recommendation platform.

The launch arrives as the global beauty market grows 10% year-on-year, with NielsenIQ data showing that over half of today’s consumers are seeking out AI-powered shopping tools to personalize their purchases.* Haut.AI’s platform meets this exact moment, bringing clinically informed AI skin analysis and personalized product recommendations to help brands better address rising consumer demand for more intelligent and individualized bodycare solutions.

The announcement is accompanied by new consumer research revealing wide body skin concerns and growing consumer openness toward AI-powered bodycare guidance. According to the survey of 1,238 U.S. women, 80% of respondents feel pressure to have “healthy-looking” or “flawless” skin, nearly 40% feel insecure showing their body skin, and 43% have changed plans because of body skin concerns.

Bringing AI Skin Intelligence Beyond the Face

Haut.AI’s new Body Analysis module expands the company’s AI skin-analysis platform beyond the face. The technology delivers objective, quantitative skin measurement across the full body through a single unified pipeline Haut.AI’s suite of AI-powered skin intelligence solutions.

Positioned as a first-of-its-kind full-body skin intelligence platform for B2B beauty and wellness partners, the technology’s primary differentiator is its unified model architecture, which covers every body region without relying on fragmented or body-part-specific systems.

The technology was trained on more than 100,000 skin images across multiple body parts and validated across all six Fitzpatrick skin types (FST1–FST6) and genders as part of Haut.AI’s fairness-by-design approach to AI-powered skin analysis. Body coverage includes face, neck, torso (front and back), arms, hands (palm and dorsal), legs and feet. All regions are analyzed through a single segmentation model and the platform enables product recommendations and personalized bodycare experiences.

“Consumers rarely expect bodycare products to deliver visible results beyond basic moisturization, largely because products are not properly matched to their individual skin needs,” said Anastasia Georgievskaya, CEO & Co-Founder of Haut.AI and a scientist with a Master’s degree in bioengineering and biophysics. “Body skin is just as complex as facial skin, yet while the beauty industry has developed sophisticated systems for facial skin analysis and recommendations, brands have lacked the infrastructure needed to deliver the same level of intelligence and personalization for bodycare. Body Analysis changes that by providing objective, quantitative skin data across the full body through a unified AI model, enabling more precise product recommendations, better consumer outcomes, and stronger long-term trust in the category.”

New Research Reveals Rising Consumer Body Skin Concerns

Haut.AI’s consumer survey highlights the growing emotional and behavioral impact of body skin concerns, particularly during summer months when body skin visibility increases.

According to the findings:

81% of consumers regularly use bodycare products91% expose more of their body skin during summer monthsNearly 40% feel insecure showing their body skinNearly 50% say body skin concerns impact their enjoyment of summer at least moderately

The research also revealed that body skin concerns are increasingly shaping consumer behavior:

43% have changed plans because of body skin concerns45% say cost prevents routine consistency36% say bodycare routines involve too many steps34% say they do not know what products to use

Consumers cited dryness and hyperpigmentation among their top body skin concerns, with hyperpigmentation ranking as one of the most difficult conditions to manage.

Consumers Increasingly Trust AI for Bodycare Guidance

At the same time, Haut.AI’s findings point to rapidly growing consumer trust in AI-powered beauty guidance and personalized digital diagnostics.

The survey found:

62% of consumers are interested in or already use AI for skincare or bodycare advice74% believe AI could make bodycare routines easier or more effective

For beauty brands and retailers, the findings signal a major shift in consumer expectations — from static product discovery toward intelligent, personalized bodycare experiences.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
