In the UK, the organic skincare market is currently valued at approximately £266.7 million in 2024, reflecting the growing consumer preference for natural and eco-friendly products. Globally, the natural and organic cosmetics market is projected to be worth around £34.6 billion in 2024, with expectations to reach over £85.5 billion by 2032, driven by increasing demand for clean and sustainable beauty products.
Several factors contribute to the ever-growing interest in natural and organic cosmetics, including:
- Increased awareness of environmental issues, leading to a rise in conscious consumerism
- Greater understanding of how skincare products affect overall health
- A heightened focus on wellbeing and self-care
- The growing popularity of organic food, prompting consumers to reconsider other aspects of their lives, including personal care products
While large multinational cosmetic companies are eager to capitalise on the natural and organic trend, consumers are increasingly prioritising the trustworthiness of a brand. It's no longer enough to simply label a product as "organic" or "natural"; companies must also prove their ethical commitments.
Brands involved in animal testing, using mineral oils, or sourcing ingredients like palm oil unsustainably are finding their customer base shrinking as consumers turn towards more "honest" alternatives. This shift has led to growing support for cottage industries and small, local businesses, particularly those that are certified, as they are perceived as more ethical, eco-friendly, and offering better value for money due to the higher quality associated with small-batch production.
