What you need to know
The natural movement continues to shape the BPC industry due to perceptions of safety. However, a surge of retailers and brands are adopting clean beauty standards, leading to a shift from natural to clean. Additionally, consumers are becoming more aware of the impact their demand for natural ingredients has on the planet and are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint, making it increasingly important for brands to have initiatives around fair trade and ethical sourcing.
