Consumers today have become highly selective while purchasing skincare products, owing to health and environment considerations. Subsequently, there is a growing desire for skincare products with claims like, cruelty-free, sustainable, or chemical-free. Encouraged by this, manufacturers are launching products with claims of natural/organic, sustainable, and free from artificial preservatives. With the growing awareness about harmful effects of chemical ingredients, consumers are becoming very cautious and are paying higher attention towards the ingredients used in skincare products. They are constantly seeking products with natural, organic, and chemical-free ingredients. Manufacturers, as a result, are increasingly omitting synthetic ingredients from their formulations in order to increase their products’ natural appeal.
