Nowhere is this trend more prevalent than within the cosmetics sector. Fueled by consumer demand for more environmentally-friendly products, leading cosmetics companies within the industry have responded accordingly.According to the Natural Marketing Institute, US retail sales of natural and organic personal care products in 2005 reached $7.5 billion, while global sales topped $21 billion. At the end of 2007, US sales were approaching $9 billion. This sector represents over 15% of the total natural and organic personal care market with 59% of women in the US indicating that 100% natural ingredients are important when purchasing personal care products. To the personal care industry as a whole, this market represents a very attractive proposition.Intertwined with the natural and organic trend is the growing sustainability and corporate social responsibility movement. As the issue of global warming gains more attention and momentum, companies are implementing sustainability programs. Companies in all industries are working to enhance their image and thereby appeal to a group of values-based consumers by adopting business practices that are better for people and the environment.
