GROWING NUMBER OF WOMEN LIKE NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS

In a recent Green Beauty Barometer survey over 1000 women, conducted by Harris Poll, women have shown healthy preference when it comes to shopping for beauty products.  Larger number of women (59%) like to read the labels first to see if these contain harmful ingredients, and over 40% of them prefer to go in for all natural beauty products.

This follows a growing trend of nourishing skin with natural nutrients.  This is where beauty is going. Consumers are more aware and cautious as ever about chemical ingredients. There is increasing awareness among American consumers that because beauty industry at present is regulated by lax system, many players in this industry are more focused on their profit margins. In the process, use of potentially harmful chemicals and substances, such as parabens, widely banned in other developed countries, is quite common.
