Another significant trend is the customization of personal care products, which is driving the development of ingredients tailored to specific skin types, hair types, and individual concerns. Additionally, there is a rising focus on multifunctional ingredients that can offer multiple benefits in a single formulation, catering to the busy lifestyles of modern consumers. These trends are influencing the research, development, and marketing strategies within the personal care industry.
