Cosmetic Trends to Look Out For in 2006
Simon Pitman, of cosmeticsdesign-europe writes "As 2005 has been marked as a year of transition for the packaged goods market, experts believe that 2006 will be a very active year for new launches, with key trends within the cosmetics and toiletries category to look out for including do it yourself skin care procedures as well as organic and sexual health products."
Further he explains that "Datamonitor is also looking to the organics category as a source of greater launch activity in 2006, as many consumers incorporate the trend for health and wellness as part of their spending patterns. In the course of 2005 many manufacturers started to highlight the natural and organic ingredients in their cosmetic and toiletry products, a trend that should increase all the more next year.
In particular, baby personal care products have become a major part of this move, with product lines from major players such as Johnson & Johnson featuring natural ingredients, together with smaller US player Jason, which also launched an organic baby care product range this year.
Added to this experts also believe that bath, shower and hair care products will also become key products to include natural and organic ingredients as a part of formulations during the coming year."
