The Global Active Cosmetics Market is Driven by Growing Skin Care Products Demand

The global active cosmetics market has witnessed significant growth over the past few years owing to the growing demand for skincare products that treat premature aging, wrinkles, dark spots, acne, and other skin-related concerns. Active ingredients used in these cosmetic formulations help reduce visible signs of aging, nourish and hydrate skin, treat common skin conditions, and protect skin from environmental damage. Cosmetic products containing ingredients such as retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, and sunscreens are gaining popularity among consumers. The increased focus on personal care and rising disposable income levels have further propelled the sales of premium anti-aging creams, serums, and facial masks. The Global active cosmetics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 11.62 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.9% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031. Key Takeaways Key players operating in the Active Cosmetics Market Growth are Medtronic, Dexcom, Inc., Abbott, Novo Nordisk A/S, Ypsomed, GlySens Incorporated, and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., among others. Key players are focusing on new product launches, partnerships, and expansion strategies to strengthen their market position and expand their geographic reach. For instance, in 2021, Medtronic launched its Guardian Connect continuous glucose monitoring system with smart phone connectivity features. The growing demand for anti-aging skin care products owing to increasing geriatric population and rising consumer disposable incomes is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Increasing urbanization and growing awareness about personal care are also contributing to the rising sales of active cosmetic formulations. Geographic expansion into emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America through online retail and company-owned stores will provide significant growth opportunities to key players. Growing middle class population and improving spending on premium beauty products in countries like China, India, Brazil, and Mexico will support the global expansion of active cosmetics market.

CPL's daily case study on tumblr.... CPL Business Consultants assessed the value of potential opportunities in the cyclodextrins market and recommended a go-to-market strategy.

Cyclodextrins are macrocyclic, non-reducing maltooligosaccharides composed of glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Cyclodextrins are commonly found to contain six (α), seven (β), and eight (γ) glucose molecules in the ring. Each cyclodextrin is a torus (doughnut-shaped) molecule.

The internal cavity of the doughnut is hydrophobic, whereas the external surface is hydrophilic. These act as a host for entrapping either wholly or partially other chemicals without the formation of covalent bonds. Therefore, cyclodextrins can encapsulate diverse hydrophobic guest molecules or functional groups, thereby changing their physical and chemical properties.

Cyclodextins have a wide range of uses. For example, in cosmetic products, they are used to solubilize and stabilize the sensitive components; stabilize emulsions; improve the absorption of active components onto the skin; reduce or eliminate the bad smells of certain components; and reduce the loss of the active components through volatilization, rapid oxidation, destruction by light, etc.

15 Day Bl Challenge - Part 4

Day 60 - Favorite lesser known BL

Hmm, I'm not sure if I am fully tapped into what counts as "lesser known", since this is pretty much the only fandom space I hang out in, and I know certain series get more chatter on Twitter/TikTok/etc than they might here, but here are a few series l loved that I feel get less talk around here than they deserve.

Ghost Host Ghost House

This show should have been so much bigger than it was. If you look at YouTube views, the sections with the smooching have over a million views (and yes it is very good smooching), but the other segments have significantly less, which means a lot of people are missing the really good character stuff that was happening in this series. Boy and Tod were so good together with such amazing chemistry, but there was also some really profound work around grief, loss, and moving on.

Ingredients

A slow burn fluff BL produced by a grocery chain, featuring some amazing food, and the equally delicious Jeff Satur. What's not to love? It clearly had a low budget but it just adds to the sweet charm of it.

Perfect Propose

There's been a lot of really engaging Japanese BL this year, so this may have been easy to miss. But it's been interesting to see likes on my posts around this show continue to trickle in slowly over time - more so than almost any other show that I have posted about this year. Which isn't necessarily proof of anything, but potentially seems to indicate that when people do watch it, they are immediately looking for blogs talking about how good it is.

I honestly can't remember the last time a show made me feel so seen. Not the romance part - lol, I wish - but the way working in a toxic environment breaks you down at such a deep level, and how numb it can make you feel. It was a very short watch, but it had a lot of insightful things to say about modern workplace culture and the small things that we hold onto to make life worth the struggle.

Cosmetic Playlover

Another fantastic entry from Japan, that I think got a little bit lost in the flood of new content coming out.

It's a fun watch, with more sweetness than you might expect at first glance. Honorable mention to Natsume's mother and sister, who win the award for "most adorably delighted to learn their beloved family member has a boyfriend".

Jun and Jun

A cute and light-hearted series that was also more sexy than you would typically expect from a Korean BL. Also Ki Hyun Woo does such fun things with his face. I just like looking at him.

DNA Says Love You

Amber is still one of my all time favorite little sweeties, just so precious and adorable. And I don't want to spoil anything, but will say we get a type of representation that is still incredibly rare in the BL world. It does start a tad slow, but it's worth it to keep going.

Lucky My Love

A GL for the list! It's really short, but such sweet fluff. If you need something really feel good and low stress, this is a great option.

And that's a wrap on BL Challenge 2024!

Can't believe I did 60 of these! Woot woot!

I am delighted that they decided to make the dwarf-candles baubles, because they are supremely fun to screw around with but not generally worth the inventory space it takes to lug them around. A little disappointed that it's from hobbit presents and up to the whims of RNG whether or not you get any. I was hoping it would be a consumables deed like with festival skills that would grant you a bauble skill at the end.

Your skin tells a story of care, nourishment, and the choices you make every day. Beauty doesn’t have to be complicated—just intentional. Let’s lean into a more thoughtful approach:

1. Choose Real Ingredients. 🌿🥑 Every ingredient you put on your skin matters. Natural botanicals, flower waters, and pure extracts are treasures that can work gently and harmoniously with your body. When you opt for simple, nature-inspired skincare, you honor your skin and its natural ability to thrive.

💡 Food for Thought: Have you ever considered reading labels like a detective? Understanding every ingredient helps you build trust with the products you use.

2. Nourish From Within. 🥩🍓 What you eat is a reflection of how you care for yourself. Whole, nutrient-dense foods—think grass-finished meats, organic fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats like grass-fed butter or tallow—fuel your body with the nutrition it needs to create healthy, balanced skin.

💡 Quick Tip: Collagen-rich broths, citrus fruits, and nutrient-dense foods like liver can support skin renewal and elasticity. Pair them with consistent hydration, and you’ll be amazed at how your skin responds to this internal care.

3. Keep It Simple. 🌸🤍 Sometimes, the best thing you can do is step back and let your skin find its natural rhythm. A simple routine, paired with restful sleep, daily movement, and moments of calm, can reveal a more refreshed and vibrant complexion.

💡 Real Talk: Skincare doesn’t need to be overcomplicated to work. Choosing just a few thoughtful habits and products can feel less overwhelming and allow your skin to do what it was designed to do.

✨ The Bottom Line: Your skin reflects your lifestyle. When you take the time to nurture it, you’ll see more than just clear skin—you’ll feel more confident, more yourself. Because beauty doesn’t come from the jar; it’s a reflection of living well.

What small changes are you making for healthier skin? Let’s share in the comments—your insight might inspire someone else. 🌟

When you want to make sure that you are able to get your skin care needs met with efficiently, you need to understand why the others use the exclusive range of products.

༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚"Beauty Product Manufacturers and Eco-Friendly Cosmetics”༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚

Hi beautes! 👋🏻 🎀. I want to share one of my opinions and research from what I found that Beauty Product Manufacturers and Eco-Friendly Cosmetics” are really important. Skin irritation and allergic responses are less common with natural and oleochemical substances. Sustainable products are made from naturally occurring substances that humans have been utilizing for centuries: plants and animals. These ingredients have therapeutic qualities and are free of synthetic, poisonous chemicals and artificial colors. Take glycerine, an organic byproduct of palm oil. Cosmetics, medications, and soaps all employ the clear, non-toxic liquid. Glycerine retains moisture well since it is a humectant, which makes it a great moisturizer. By enhancing the body's hygroscopic properties, glycerine helps the skin to absorb and retain water. It can be put anywhere on the body because it doesn't cause irritation. It works well as an anti-aging component.

Because The average Asian or American is thought to use 100 kilos of plastic every year, with over half of the plastic generated going toward single-use disposable products. Typical suppliers of environmentally friendly cosmetics include: Natural oils, including avocado, coconut, and olive oils. Plants used in agriculture, such soybeans and corn. Environmentally friendly formulas are the foundation of eco-friendly cosmetics, which are then produced and packaged using eco-friendly procedures. Ingredients that are made from natural substances are used in the creation of these "green," sustainable cosmetics. Eco-friendly beauty products can be an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin since, in addition to being good for the environment, they are typically made of natural and organic ingredients.

Additionally, harsh chemicals are likely to be absent from eco-friendly cosmetics, which lowers your chance of skin damage and flare-ups. Harsh chemicals are also probably not included in eco-friendly cosmetics, which lowers our chance of skin damage and flare-ups. Consumers nowadays are more concerned with social and environmental responsibilities and have a developing global consciousness. The softer environmental impact of sustainable products is one of their key advantages. There are new reports every week about massive garbage floating in the water or risky carbon outputs. Conventional cosmetics include several dangerous substances called petrochemicals that harm both our bodies and the environment. Customers seek organic, low-polluting items as we grow more conscious of the environment. How are we gonna make the world change? so here’s the tip that you should know:

1. Recognizing Ecological Natural beauty

The following are a few of the most well-known, eco-friendly, sustainable cosmetic brands and their offerings: Native:

-Native uses natural, organic components to make its deodorants. Native's brand is based on "easy-to-understand, nontoxic ingredients." Herbs like castor bean oil, coconut oil, and shea butter are generated from oleochemicals.

-Burt's Bees: From modest beeswax candles to a massive empire of lip products, Burt's Bees has emerged as a global pioneer in sustainability. The company uses natural and organic components in its cosmetics and personal care products, and it follows a "no-waste" manufacturing philosophy. They use beeswax, herbs, and botanical oils to create their well-known goods.

- Blissoma: Specializing in skincare, Blissoma provides a vast selection of green skincare products divided by skin type and need. Their preservative-free cosmetics use natural components such as fruit enzymes, Vitamin C, organic herbs, and cereals.

The job Manufacturers of cosmetics have a rare chance to emphasize corporate responsibility by focusing on green cosmetics. Going above and beyond with sustainable sourcing or packaging can have a big influence, in addition to the good effects green marketing can have on a company's image. A business assumes responsibility for its effects on economies and world health when it ramps up its sustainability initiatives. A company can earn authority and respect from suppliers, customers, and other distribution chain participants by assuming corporate responsibility for its manufacturing.

2. The Effect of Modern Beauty Products on the Environment

The Intensity of Resources and Waste Production: - Sourcing of Ingredients: Resource-intensive procedures are a major part of the manufacturing of traditional cosmetics. One such component that contributes to habitat loss and deforestation is palm oil, which is widely used in cosmetics.Packaging Waste: Take into consideration the chic plastic cases that hold your go-to lipstick or moisturizer. A major contributing factor to the worldwide plastic pollution problem is that these containers frequently wind up in landfills or the ocean.

Toxic ingredients included in many traditional cosmetic products, including parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, contribute to chemical pollution and water contamination. In addition to endangering human health, these pollutants contaminate rivers. Ecosystems that are aquatic are impacted by the chemicals we rinse out of our hair or wash off our makeup, which ends up in rivers and oceans. - Tiny plastics: Small plastic particles called microplastics are present in toothpaste, exfoliating scrubs, and some shampoos. These particles are non-biodegradable. Microplastics can harm marine life and possibly make their way into our food chain when they amass in water bodies. Part 3: Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change - Distribution and Transportation: Cosmetics are produced all over the world and distributed extensively. Storage of some goods (such serums) in a refrigerator also adds to the energy usage.

For example: Parabens. - Toxic Substance: Preservatives including methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben are frequently found in skincare and makeup products. On the other hand, they may increase the risk of breast cancer and cause hormone imbalance. - Alternative: Look for natural preservatives like vitamin E, rosemary oil, or grapefruit seed extract, or choose items that are labeled "paraben-free".

3. Producing Your Own Eco-Friendly Items

Do-it-yourself Beauty Recipes: - For a calming and purifying effect, mix oatmeal, honey, and chamomile tea to make a mild face cleanser. For a luscious and nourishing treat, combine shea and cocoa butter with your preferred essential oils to create a moisturizing body butter. Shake some lemon or orange peels into some apple cider vinegar to create a revitalizing and pleasant citrus hair rinse. Sustainable Packaging Options: To cut down on plastic waste, put your homemade beauty products in reusable glass jars or metal tins. Take into consideration giving empty containers from completed commercial cosmetic items a new lease on life.

Be healthy always, love 🎀🪞🩰🦢🕯️

Love how cosmetics are under FDA regulation and they're required to list their ingredients so there's technically not much stopping me from just taking that list and making that shit at home

How to Prevent Hair Fall During Winter

Winter can be particularly harsh on your hair, leading to dryness, breakage and increased hair fall. Cold weather, low humidity, and indoor heating all contribute to these problems.  Here are some tips to help you prevent hair fall during winter and maintain healthy hair:

Moisturize and Hydrate Your Hair

Winter air is dry, which can strip moisture from your hair, making it brittle and more prone to breakage. Dry hair is more prone to breakage and damage, which can lead to increased hair fall. One of the most important things you can do is to keep your hair hydrated.

Use Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner: Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and rich conditioners that help retain moisture without drying out your hair.

Deep Conditioning: Incorporating deep conditioning treatments into your routine can work wonders. Use nourishing masks or oils once a week to deeply hydrate and repair your hair.

Leave-in Conditioner: For added moisture and protection, try using a leave-in conditioner or hair serum, especially if your hair tends to get frizzy and dry in the winter months.

Avoid Hot Showers

When the weather is cold, you choose to take a hot shower, but it can harm your hair. It strips away your scalp’s natural oils, which can lead to dryness, dandruff, and breakage. When washing your hair in winter, try to use lukewarm or cold water to keep moisture locked in.

Limit Heat Styling

While it’s common to use blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons to style your hair, these tools can exacerbate winter hair issues by drying out and damaging your strands. Excessive heat styling can lead to increased hair fall, especially in winter when your hair is already more prone to dryness.

Use a Heat Protector: If you must use heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to shield your hair from damage.

Air Dry if Possible: Allow your hair to air dry when you can. It’s gentler on your strands and helps preserve moisture.

Maintain a Healthy Scalp

A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Winter dryness can lead to scalp issues, such as flakes, itchiness, and even dandruff, which may contribute to hair loss. It’s essential to take care of your scalp, especially during the colder months.

Massage Your Scalp: Regularly massaging your scalp with your fingertips or essential oils (like rosemary or peppermint) can improve blood circulation and promote hair growth.

Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Tight ponytails, buns and braids can cause traction alopecia, a type of hair loss caused by constant pulling. Opt for loose, comfortable hairstyles that won’t strain your hair or scalp.

Regular Trims to Prevent Split Ends

Split ends and breakage are common problems during winter, as the hair becomes more fragile and dry. Regular trims can help maintain the health of your hair and prevent split ends from travelling up the strand, leading to more damage and hair fall.

Trim your Hair Every 6-8 Weeks: Regularly trimming your hair ensures that the ends stay healthy, reducing the likelihood of breakage.

Manage Stress

Stress is a major contributor to hair loss, so it’s important to manage your stress levels, especially during the winter months when seasonal changes can take a toll on your overall well-being. 

Practice Stress-Relief Techniques: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, exercise, or journaling to help keep stress levels in check and promote hair health.

Final Thoughts

Winter weather may be harsh on your hair, but with the right care and attention, you can prevent hair fall and keep your locks looking best. Moisturize, protect, nourish and maintain healthy scalp, and your hair will remain strong and resilient throughout the cold months. By maintaining your hair care routine and making small changes in your lifestyle, you can keep winter hair woes at bay and enjoy fuller, healthier hair year-round!
