Growing awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic products is leading to a shift in demand from synthetic to natural and organic personal care products in Europe, especially in the skincare category.

In 2014, the skincare segment dominated the overall Personal care market, with a market share of 68%-70%. Thanks to increased emphasis on more natural skincare products, the European market is likely to grow at a CAGR of 9.58% from 2014-2019.
