The growing popularity of eco-friendly and cruelty-free beauty products in makeup and skincare is undeniable. According to a recent study by Persistence Market Research, the global natural and organic beauty and personal care products industries are estimated to reach $22 million by 2024. Perfect365 conducted their own survey study on cruelty-free beauty and found that 36% of women that took the survey between the ages of 18 – 34 buy only cruelty-free beauty products.

According to the Huffington Post, the desire to avoid harmful synthetic chemicals and knowledge gained from green beauty blogs about safer alternatives are the main driving forces of this huge growth in eco-friendly options. It’s no wonder that trend-setting celebrities and people of influence around the world have taken note and jumped on the green beauty bandwagon!
