The market's landscape has witnessed a seismic shift owing to the escalating demand for natural and organic ingredients in cosmetics among consumers. A profound surge in health consciousness among global consumers has led to an increased preference for natural and organic beauty products. This growing inclination towards natural and organic cosmetics devoid of potentially harmful synthetic elements has emerged from rising concerns regarding beauty-related issues such as skin rashes, allergies, hair loss, acne, and dark spots. Consumers' interests are now leaning towards cosmetics incorporating natural oils, plant extracts, and other organic materials, fostering the creation of organic skincare products. Renowned beauty formulations integrate various natural components like olive oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, aloe vera, turmeric, and sunflower oil to cater to these escalating demands. This escalating demand stems from growing apprehensions about skin-related issues experienced globally, prompting clients to seek efficient and all-natural solutions. For instance, in 2018, the UK's natural and organic cosmetics market was estimated to be approximately valued at USD 96.91 million by the SOIL Association, further propelling manufacturers to emphasize the production of natural and organic cosmetics. Notably, major players in the industry have made strategic moves by acquiring startups specializing in organic and natural cosmetics. A prime example of this trend is L'Oreal's acquisition of Pulp Riot Hair, a step that is poised to influence the trajectory of the global market during the forecast period.
The inclination towards self-care and grooming has gained substantial momentum worldwide in recent years, notably propelled by women's increasing interest in the natural and organic cosmetics market. As daily schedules become more hectic, routines evolve, dietary habits shift, and sleep cycles vary, concerns regarding body and overall well-being are witnessing a steady rise. The use of beauty products to enhance the quality, cleanliness, and aesthetic appeal of external body parts has gained traction among people of all age groups.

Market CAGR for natural and organic cosmetics is being driven by the growing e-commerce activities of key players. Various players in the market are initiating digital marketing strategies, preparing interactive advertisements, and making substantial efforts to broadcast their products via social media, which is likely to foster product demand. The growing impact of social media and increasing internet penetration attract consumers to e-commerce to buy personal care products. For instance, in August 2019, Grupo Boticário, a Brazil-based beauty products company, announced its plans to acquire Beleza na Web, an e-commerce platform for selling its products. Therefore, manufacturers are focusing on offering many products through an online channel to meet consumer demand.
Moreover, the growing prevalence of skin problems induced by synthetic elements in beauty products and cosmetics is anticipated to boost sales. Synthetic compounds such as methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben are toxic chemicals that cause allergic reactions, acne, blemishes, rashes, and other skin-related issues. Hence, the major players are launching organic products. For instance, in February 2021, Lady Green introduced a range of makeup products and organic face care, including face wash, mascara, face cream, and BB cream, for blemished, acne-prone skin utilizing natural active ingredients, including aloe vera and neem.
Increasing demand for sustainable products is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period. Consumers now focus on their healthcare with skin nourishment products and are inclined to use environmentally friendly products. For instance, exfoliating personal care products contain plastic beads, a significant concern for plastic pollution. Therefore, consumers are inclined towards using products that do not contain plastic beads. Companies such as BioPowder are taking initiatives to develop biodegradable microbeads intended to be used in exfoliating products, which will not lead to waste generation.
Beauty and cosmetic products that are free from chemicals and transparent related to the content have been preferred by customers, which is likely to drive the demand for natural skin care products. Growing celebrity involvement in promoting sustainable beauty products is expected to resonate well with young consumers. Millennials who spend much time online are highly inclined towards trending online articles, product launches, and celebrity endorsements. Influential personalities such as Hailey Bieber promoting bareMinerals, and Jessica Alba co-founded The Honest Company driving the natural and organic cosmetics market revenue.
The natural and organic cosmetics market segmentation, based on product type, includes skin care, hair care, oral care, make-up cosmetics, and others. The skin care segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (14.48 Billion). In developing economies, category growth is driven by the growing preference for complicated facial care routines among women and men. However, hair care is the fastest-growing category due to shifting consumer consciousness about overall healthy hair and high brand promotions through online channels.
The natural and organic cosmetics market segmentation, based on end-user, includes men, females, and unisex. The females category generated the most income due to a growing preference for natural skin care products to avoid outbreaks and discomfort caused by synthetic cosmetics. However, men are the fastest-growing category owing to growing awareness among males about grooming and skin nourishment.
October 2020: Zen Skin Care debuted in Pakistan by launching natural skin care products for men, including hair oil and face and body wash.
The natural and organic cosmetics market segmentation, based on distribution channels, includes store-based and non-store-based. The non-store-based category generated the most income (70.4%). E-commerce delivers benefits to local as well as regional players by allowing a wider consumer reach. However, store-based is the fastest-growing category over the forecast period. Many retailers focus on revamping their product portfolio in their stores owing to the popularity of eco-friendly and sustainable products.
