There has been a serious inclination of the public towards using natural herbs as far as health is concerned

People these days prefer using more natural, less chemical versions of any product used internally or externally.

  1. Can you provide statistics and quantifiable data supporting your previous answer?

A “Green Beauty Barometer” survey, which was conducted online in June among over 1,000 U.S. women aged 18 years old and older, revealed nearly six in ten U.S. adult women (59%) read beauty product ingredient labels prior to purchase, while nearly 40% intend to increase their spend for all-natural beauty products.

Of those surveyed, 54% of women claimed it is important their skincare product purchases are all-natural.-(source-online)

The main thing is that the ingredients used are natural; herbal most importantly the combination is tried and tested for years.

A very sustainable choice as it is about one’s health and body.

  1. Is this trend contained within the country or has it reached the international shores?

It has become a global market already.

Slowly and steadily the high-end industries are going to turn the natural way.

So the consumer trend is going to be the highest and since the competition in the production will increase it will lead to less expensive natural products.
