Hello Pearbear,
Below you will find the results of my research for information and
statistics regarding the organic personal care market.
According to the report ?The U.S. Market for Natural and Organic
Personal Care Products? by market research publisher Packaged Facts,
the market for natural personal care products reached $5 billion in
2004.
Packaged Facts defines the market as including natural and organic
skincare, hair care, oral care and color cosmetic products.
?At $3 billion, skincare is the leading segment of the market, while
haircare has had the strongest growth over the five-year period. By
2009, Packaged Facts projects that the natural personal care market
will climb to $7.9 billion.?
Factors contributing to the strong growth of the market are the aging
baby boomer population and widespread concern about toxic ingredients.

Organic cosmetics are more expensive
According to Jeff Binder, co-founder of www.saffronrouge.ca, a
Canadian online organic cosmetics store, organic skin care tends to be
made with better ingredients.
?These products contain herbs, oils and juices produced without
synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified ingredients.
In other words, they're better for the environment, and they'll leave
less chemical residue on your skin. But they're also quite a bit more
expensive than your average skin care product.?

Cost of organic
?Organic products are more expensive because, at this time, the
ingredients are more expensive, sometimes many times more expensive.
Organic agriculture is more labor intensive, and has to conform to
more stringent regulations.
And research shows that consumers are willing to pay more for organic
because of the perception that it is better quality. The Natural
Marketing Institute estimates the US target market for organic
personal care products at 57 million people or 20 percent of the
population.?
