Naturality in cosmetics – to meet the customer expectations

In the cosmetics and personal care industry, naturality is a key driver of product differentiation and global competitiveness. Leading brands want to integrate biobased and natural ingredients not only to meet consumer demand but to future-proof their formulations against regulatory standards. Claims like “natural,” “clean,” and “eco-friendly” are no longer optional – they’re essential to meet market expectations. Regulatory pressure related to the EU Green Deal, EUDR or similar initiatives in different regions of the world requires companies to deliver.
While demand for naturality rises, product innovation managers, formulators, and ingredient buyers are facing difficulties sourcing these ingredients.
