Video taken at in-cosmetics Asia – http://www.in-cosmeticsasia.com While the global ingredients market value is estimated at close to USD 20 billion, the market value for specialty personal care ingredients is estimated at USD 9.0 billion in 2015. As sales of such ingredients have witnessed growth in the last few years, this growth is expected to continue in the future, providing an opportunity to ingredient suppliers across all regions. The trend of multifunctional end-products that offer several benefits in one product, such as anti-aging, cleansing, moisturization, anti-oxidant, UV protection, etc., continues to grow. Consequently, this trend is leading to growth in the consumption of multifunctional ingredients.

This has resulted in an increase in the usage of sulfate-free anionic surfactants, which are gradually replacing traditional surfactants.
