To meet the evolving consumer demand for advanced personal care and cosmetic products, manufacturers are introducing highly innovative products and formulations. This includes advancements in skincare, haircare, color cosmetics, and other personal care products. These advancements and expansions in product manufacturing boost the demand for cosmetic ingredients such as preservatives. Cosmetic preservatives such as parabens, formaldehyde releasers, phenol derivatives, and organic acids are among the essential ingredients in cosmetics and personal care formulations. They act as antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, and stabilizers and enhance the shelf life of the final product. Thus, increased consumption of skincare and makeup products drives the cosmetic preservatives market.
In terms of application, the market is segmented into hair care, skin care, makeup products, toiletries, perfumes and deodorants, and others. The skin care segment held a significant share of the market in 2023. Several natural preservatives, coupled with natural fruit blends and extracts, are added to the skin care products to gain customer’s interest. There is an increasing trend of skin care among consumers owing to the impact of several influencers on social media platforms. This leads to increased demand for several skin care products, such as moisturizers, serums, and essential oils worldwide. Broad-spectrum preservative blends are usually needed for emulsions, such as creams and lotions, because the water phase of these products creates an optimal environment for the growth of yeast, bacteria, and fungi. The growing adoption of skin care routines and increasing awareness about the benefits of natural preservatives in cosmetic products are boosting the demand for skin care products with naturally sourced preservatives.
