 Market Challenges

• Vegan cosmetics are free from animal ingredients and are certified cruelty-free. However, they may contain chemicals that harm the environment and animals when washed off. Parabens, derived from fruits and vegetables, are commonly used preservatives but are endocrine disruptors. Paraffin wax, a non-toxic alternative to beeswax, is used instead of petroleum products. Red 30, a vegan cosmetics color additive derived from petroleum and coal tar, may cause organ system toxicity and ecotoxicity. These adverse impacts of vegan cosmetics ingredients pose significant challenges for vendors, hindering the market's growth during the forecast period.
• The vegan cosmetics market is on the rise, with an increasing number of consumers opting for animal cruelty-free and plant-based products. However, challenges persist in sourcing alternatives to common ingredients like Milk, Fat, Honey, Beeswax, and Organic oils. Sustainability is key, as Cosmetic brands seek to offer Skin, Body, Hair, and Baby care items free from Animal-tested ingredients. Plants, Vitamins, Minerals, and Antioxidants are popular alternatives. Brands like Harry Styles's new line, Stella McCartney, LVMH, and others, lead the way in Vegan skincare and makeup. However, challenges remain with Counterfeit products and Harmful chemicals like Parabens, Phthalates, and Sulfates in Conventional cosmetics. E-commerce and Hypermarkets/supermarkets are crucial channels for distribution. Pacifica Beauty and Beauty Without Cruelty are notable players.
