All-natural beauty products become preferred choice for consumers
Implications - All-natural beauty products have seen increasing popularity in the beauty industry over the past few years, with the industry reaching $10.9 billion in sales in 2009, according to the Natural Products Association. As consumers recognize the importance of eating organic foods for health, they are also translating this to other parts of their lives, such as beauty and skincare. So, while natural beauty was once associated only with organic and vegan skincare lines, now virtually every cosmetics and skincare brand is coming up with their own version of all-natural beauty.
