“Increasing Demand for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Pigments in the Cosmetic Industry”
- A prominent trend in the Asia-Pacific Cosmetic Pigments and Dyes market is the rising consumer and industry demand for sustainable, eco-friendly pigments. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, there is an increased preference for pigments that are derived from natural sources or produced using environmentally friendly methods, avoiding toxic chemicals and heavy metals
- Manufacturers are responding by focusing on sustainable sourcing, green chemistry, and biodegradable pigments, aligning with the growing demand for clean, green, and ethical beauty products
- For instance, in January 2025, Shiseido (Japan) launched a botanical pigment range for color cosmetics, utilizing extracts from sakura petals and rice bran oil, emphasizing the company’s commitment to biodegradable and non-toxic formulations.
- This trend not only promotes environmental responsibility but also opens up new market opportunities for brands to enhance their sustainability credentials, tapping into a growing segment of eco-conscious consumers while complying with stricter regulations around cosmetic ingredients and environmental impact
