Market Trends of Body Scrub Industry
Paraben Free Skin Care Products are Gaining Momentum
- The growing consumer desire to improve body appearance has changed the mindset of people. With the popularization of organic products, products with synthetic compounds like propylparaben and butylparaben are no longer considered safe for use. Though many skin-care markets still derive a significant share of sales from products with parabens and many other undesirable ingredients, the shift to paraben-free is highly noticeable, with increasing consumer preference for paraben-free and sulfate-free products.
- Moreover, these scrubs are often used for their additional advantages, such as imparting smoother texture and claiming to enhance moisture absorption by the skin, among other benefits. Manufacturers in the market are offering a variety of scrubs, such as lavender body scrubs, charcoal scrubs, coffee scrubs, and other natural-based scrubs, to attract consumers. Hence, products with paraben-free claims are gaining favor among consumers in the market.
