Finding market data about any cosmetic area can be a little challenging if you aren’t signed up with a market research company like Mintell or IRI. However, if you read GCI, Cosmetics & Toiletries or some of the other cosmetic industry magazines, you can get hints of data.
Here is some data about the natural cosmetic market that you might find interesting. The data represents the annual sales of natural cosmetics in the US circa 2008. It’s a little old but it gives you a good idea of the distribution and size of the market.
