Interest in this product category can be largely attributed to the brand Dermalogica. Dermalogica’s bacne spray generates approximately $45.9K/month on Amazon.

Topic #2 Semantic Layer [Chart]( Semantic layers are business intelligence systems that provide a simplified view of complex data sources. Specifically, the system makes it easier for non-technical users to access and analyze big data. For example, a retail brand may have large amounts of data stored in a number of different inventory management systems. Without a semantic layer, a user would need to understand the underlying database structures, query languages, and system relationships in order to retrieve the desired information. With a semantic layer, non-technical users can navigate the data, select relevant dimensions and measures, apply filters, and generate reports. What's Next Semantic layers are part of the Self-Service BI meta trend. Self-service business intelligence (BI) refers to the ability of business users to access and analyze data to make informed decisions without relying on IT or data specialists. The volume of enterprise data has more than doubled over the past four years. And the number of jobs requiring data science skills will grow by 36% by 2031. Which is why businesses have started looking for ways to utilize their data without relying on data scientists. Self-service BI is emerging as a possible solution to this problem. Topic #3 Pyrite Bracelet [Chart]( Pyrite bracelets are jewelry pieces made using pyrite, a mineral also known as "fool's gold" due to its metallic sheen and gold-like appearance.

As a result, pyrite bracelets are often used in crystal healing practices among those who follow alternative healing and spiritual traditions. They have become especially popular among the crystal healing community on TikTok. In fact, there are over 39.6K videos on TikTok with the #pyrite hashtag.
