STRATEGIC INSIGHTS: THE POTENTIAL OF FAIR TRADE
COSMETICS &
INGREDIENTS
Cosmetics Industry Going Fairtrade
Fairtrade is becoming en vogue in the cosmetics industry as
companies increasingly focus on ethical sourcing and sustainability.
Natural & organic cosmetic companies are the early-adopters,
sourcing fairtrade ingredients and launching certified products. Some
like Weleda have set up fairtrade projects to protect endangered plant
species and encourage sustainability. Others are using fairtrade to
guarantee long-term supply of organic ingredients. Most natural &
organic cosmetic companies are looking at adopting fairtrade standards
to launch certified products.
Growing consumer interest in social inequality and sustainability
is stimulating demand for fairtrade products. Fairtrade appeals to
consumers as it guarantees producers in developing countries get a good
deal. It also encourages sustainable farming practices and involves
investment in social community projects.

finished cosmetic products.
