Development of the Cosmetics Industry: Trends
The cosmetics industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global market, offering not just beauty but also care and health to millions of consumers worldwide. Nowadays, consumers are looking for products that not only enhance appearance but also contribute to the health of the skin and hair, while being safe and environmentally friendly. In this context, in recent years, natural preservative systems have emerged as a preferred option in the formulation of new products. Traditional preservatives are usually synthetic and often contain substances and compounds that can cause allergic reactions. In response to the growing demand for safer and environmentally clean products, there has been a continuous increase in the use of natural preservatives such as plant-based ferments, plant extracts, a mix of essential oils, and other nature-friendly products that combine efficiency and safety. This niche continues to evolve to meet the demands of consumers and manufacturers.
One of the leading trends in hair care is the use of sulfate-free shampoos (SLS/SLES). Due to the growing demand for this type of product, manufacturers are faced with the challenge of offering formulations that combine good cleansing properties with functional and active ingredients that provide intensive care and various other benefits for the consumer. At the same time, the certification of raw materials plays a key role in ensuring the quality and safety of cosmetic products and is an aspect that consumers are paying more and more attention to. COSMOS and ECOCERT certificates are among the most prestigious in the industry. They guarantee that products are produced according to the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility. COSMOS and ECOCERT-certified ingredients are entirely natural and are obtained in an environmentally sustainable way, making them a preferred choice for consumers who value quality and also care for the environment. These certifications ensure that products do not contain synthetic chemicals and are biodegradable, further protecting both the consumer and the environment. COSMOS and ECOCERT certificates include strict criteria for production, processing, and packaging, providing transparency and trust in the products consumers use.
