TikTok trends can be hugely powerful.

That Sound Game used Exploding Topics Pro to analyze TikTok trends, leading to a viral launch campaign and more than 400,000 sales in under 3 years.

Here are a few of the most interesting TikTok trends from the list above, along with an insight into why they’re trending. The total posts figure is based on the all-time number of videos posted under the specific named hashtag (e.g. #showersteamers).

1. Basil Mask

"Basil mask" growth chart

5-year search growth: 194%

Search growth status: Exploding

Total TikTok Posts: 243

Description: A face mask that uses basil extract to soothe the skin, absorb excess oils, and help to treat acne. A basil mask typically has a distinctive green appearance, making it great for TikTok virality. It's a particulalry interesting trend because overall search volume remains so low; with no other trend climbing faster on TikTok in the last 30 days, it is a potentially intriguing opportunity for E-commerce businesses.

2. Kojic Acid

"Kojic acid" growth chart

5-year search growth: 335%

Search growth status: Exploding

Total TikTok Posts: 150.1K

Description: A skin-lightening ingredient used to treat conditions such as hyperpigmentation. Derived from fermenting rice or soybeans, kojic acid is also used in rice wine, soy sauce, and miso paste, but it has found popularity in the world of skincare. Top TikTok posts about kojic acid have received more than 300,000 likes, and powder and serum are both now taking off as separate trending topics.

3. Insect Dog Food

"Insect dog food" growth chart

5-year search growth: 205%

Search growth status: Exploding

Total TikTok Posts: 97

Description: Dog food that uses insects as the primary protein source. Insects have long been cited as an underused source of protein, with potential environmental and sustainability benefits. Bugs have started to enter more human diets as well, but their unconventional nature as a food source (at least to Western consumers) means some may be more inclined to make the switch for their pets. While the number of posts specifically using the #insectdogfood hashtag remains low, growth in posts about the topic over the past 30 days have been rapid. This is exactly the sort of early-stage trend opportunity that you can surface with TikTok Insights.

4. Citicoline Supplement

"Citicoline supplement" growth chart

5-year search growth: 1,160%

Search growth status: Regular

Total TikTok Posts: 760*

Description: Another very early trend, citicoline supplements are believed to support brain health. Citicoline is a naturally occuring chemical in the body, and there is some research that it can help slow down age-related decline in memory and cognitive skills.

*Total posts under the "citicoline" hashtag, as opposed to citicoline supplements specifically.

5. Mesh WiFi Router

"Mesh WiFi router" growth chart

5-year search growth: 23%

Search growth status: Regular

Total TikTok Posts: 2.1K

Description: A household device that extends WiFi range into areas that may be receiving weak signal. Mesh WiFi routers benefit from having reasonably steady long-term search interest, as well as recent TikTok virality; top sellers on Amazon generate around $750,000 per month.

6. Rucking Vest

"Rucking vest" growth chart

5-year search growth: 5,400%

Search growth status: Regular

Total TikTok Posts: 12.7K*

Description: Device designed to increase the intensity of a walking workout by adding weight via a weighted vest. Rucking can burn 2-3x more calories than a normal walking workout. While vests are growing in popularity, the "traditional" method involves weighted backpacks. 

*TikTok posts with the "#rucking" hashtag

7. Hanging Toiletry Bag

"Hanging toiletry bag" growth chart

5-year search growth: 222%

Search growth status: Regular

Total TikTok Posts: 746

Description: Multi-compartment travel bags with a hook for hanging, designed to easily store personal care items like toothpaste or shampoo. Overall search interest is highly seasonal, as toiletry bags are viewed as very giftable items. Across the board, TikTok Shop grossed $500 million in the US across the 4 days from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday 2025. Interestingly, however, these bags are continuing to trend on TikTok beyond the holiday period and into 2026.

8. Shower Diffuser

"Phone wrist strap" growth chart

5-year search growth: 65%

Search growth status: Regular

Total TikTok Posts: 30

Description: Disperser of pleasant smells designed to be used in the shower to create an aromatherapy experience. Shower diffusers may be electric, or could come in the form or tablets that slowly dissolve (shower steamers). They are exactly the kind of low-cost, clear-use household goods that tend to enjoy success on TikTok Shop (even if video cannot convey the benefits of smell-based products in the same way as it can with things like cosmetics or cleaning appliances). Total US sales across TikTok Shop hit $19 billion in Q3 2025.
