Media Reports Stimulate Consumer Demand
The French market for natural cosmetics is showing high growth due to rising consumer awareness of
chemicals in cosmetics & toiletries. Media reports and campaigns by
pressure groups are publicising the health risks associated with
chemicals in conventional products. Consumers are
turning to natural
products as they are made from plant extracts & natural ingredients and
contain minimal levels of synthetic compounds.
Natural cosmetic sales have surged since a television documentary in
spring 2005 highlighted the possible dangers of synthetic substances
like parabens in personal care products. Retailers and producers have
reported record sales growth since. Campaigns by organisations like
Greenpeace, which publishes the Cometox Guide, are also educating
consumers on the differences between natural and conventional products.
Specialist
retailers
are responding to burgeoning consumer demand by giving more shelf-space
to natural & organic products. Availability is increasing with
distribution of natural cosmetics expanding in supermarkets, department stores and non-retail channels like beauty
centres and salons.
Organic cosmetics are becoming increasingly popular since consumers see
organic logos like the Cosmebio as a guarantee of ethical and safe
products. The market share of French certified organic products, at
about 25%, is projected to increase as more producers adopt organic
standards.
