Growing awareness of personal care is influenced by rising consumer interest in natural and organic products, a stronger focus on health and wellness, the aging population’s demand for anti-aging solutions, and younger consumers’ preference for personalized and gender-inclusive offerings. Circular beauty products play a vital role in enhancing awareness of personal care by promoting sustainability, minimizing waste, and encouraging environmentally responsible consumer choices. For example, in December 2024, according to a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, spending on personal care products and services and personal insurance and pensions rose by 9.7 percent and 9.3 percent, respectively, in 2023. Therefore, the growing awareness of personal care is contributing to the expansion of the circular beauty products market.
