Another development trend in cosmetic raw materials is multifunctional natural products. Consumers need natural products that can moisturize the skin and provide other effective functions. Skin care products with UV protection properties are currently the fastest-growing products in the personal care industry, and one of the current trends is the development of broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens.
Consumers always want their skin to be moisturized, nourished, and soft, and their hair to be smooth, comfortable, and easy to style, all of which rely on conditioning products. Conditioning remains an important development trend in hair care. With technological advancements, better conditioning products will emerge on the market.
In shampoo and conditioner, consumers choose products suitable for their hair type. Therefore, formulation development will focus on products where shampoo and conditioner are separate, rather than two-in-one products. In addition to conditioning ingredients, shampoo oils and softeners are also products of interest to cosmetic manufacturers, but these ingredients have a negative impact on the foaming properties and viscosity of the product, requiring further improvement of the viscosity and rheology of the shampoo system when necessary.
