I would like to know the size of the global skin care market (by
value), and how many
cosmetics companies there are in the world? How many formulator
companies there are (and where are they), and how many skin products
do they create each year? Who are the leading skin care formulators?
Of especial interest is How many companies want to make
(testable/advertisable/confirmable) claims about the efficacy of their
skin care products? Lastly I'd like to know how much this market is
growing or declining annually.

A quick initial good answer is required, rather than an extensive
perfect slow answer. Thanks

If you're seeking a prompt answer, I suggest that you repost this as
several separate questions. That will enable more than one Researcher
to work on your questions simultaneously.

Multi-part questions are problematic. As it stands, a Researcher who
can find some, but not all, of the information that you need would be
unable to post an answer. If the various parts of your question were
separated, you would be likely to get better service.
