Personal care and cosmetics are mixtures of chemical compounds or organic ingredients, used to enhance the overall appearance or are used for personal hygiene. Organic personal care and cosmetic products mainly comprise plant ingredients and do not contain chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, aluminum salts and petrochemicals, which are potentially harmful to an individuals health. Increasing beauty consciousness and health awareness are prime factors boosting the market growth. Moreover, operating players in the market have been putting numerous efforts into launching several products in the market, thereby supplementing the market growth.

Stringent government regulations especially in developed countries have enforced the companies operating in personal care and cosmetics market to introduce organic products over chemical products. As a result, operating companies have developed organic personal care and cosmetics products, thereby increasing overall consumption of organic personal care and cosmetics in the recent past. Increasing consciousness about personal appearance and overall health awareness contribute to the growth of organic personal care and cosmetics industry. Moreover, increasing disposable income coupled with improved standards of living drive the adoption of personal care and organic cosmetics products. However, brief shelf life of organic personal care and cosmetics and availability of advanced beauty treatments are restricting the growth of the market. Government support and regulation would offer several growth opportunities to the operating players operating in the market.
