The cosmetic ingredients industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD million" for the period 2025-2029, as well as historical data from 2019-2023 for the following segments.
The surfactants segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Surfactants are essential ingredients in cosmetics, reducing surface tension in liquid solutions for applications such as cleansing, solubilization, and conditioning. They consist of hydrophilic and lipophilic components that aid in breaking down oil and fat impurities on the skin. Commonly used surfactants in cosmetics include acyl isethionates, alkyl polyglycosides, sodium laureth sulfate, and ammonium laureth sulfate. However, there is a growing preference for naturally sourced surfactants derived from plants and vegetables, such as decyl glucoside, decyl polyglucoside, and stearyl alcohol, due to increasing health concerns regarding synthetic surfactants. These natural alternatives are found in various cosmetic products, including body lotions, moisturizers, eyeliners, lipsticks, and face washes.
The demand for green cosmetics and skincare products, free from dangerous chemicals, has led to the development of natural surfactants from renewable sources. Key natural sources include plants and their extracts, which provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, thickening, moisturizing, texture, and appearance benefits. These natural ingredients extend the shelf life of cosmetic products while ensuring consumer health and safety.
