With the changing demand in the cosmetics consumer market, cosmetic raw materials have been updated and replaced. Consumers' requirements for skincare products not only include functions such as cleaning and moisturizing, but also hope to remove wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. Cosmetics manufacturers have begun to use a large amount of natural active ingredient cosmetic raw materials. In addition, due to anti-aging, the demand for natural ingredients in skin care products increases, and various vitamins, active substances, and plant essence will dominate the world cosmetics raw material market in the future.
Experts point out that this consumption trend will be a popular trend in the global cosmetics market in the future. Other products used for skin and hair care include shrimp shell extract chitosan, seaweed extract alginate, and yeast or mushroom extract beta glucan.
