Key Highlights
With their awareness about the harmful effects of chemical ingredients growing, consumers are becoming very cautious and are paying greater attention to the ingredients used in skincare products. They are constantly seeking formulations with natural, organic, and chemical-free ingredients. Manufacturers, as a result, are introducing skincare products that are free from alcohol, paraben, sulfate, and other synthetic ingredients. Consumers have become highly selective while purchasing skincare products, owing to health and environment considerations. There is thus a growing desire for skincare products with claims such as “cruelty-free”, “sustainable”, or “chemical-free”. Encouraged by this, manufacturers are launching products that are marketed as being natural/organic, sustainable, and free from artificial preservatives.Scope
