In demand: conscious cosmetics packaging solutions

May 2023

The growing cosmetics market has led to many packaging solutions. The rigid tube is the leading packaging type, while the squeezable tube is witnessing an 86% average annual growth (Global, CAGR 2018 to 2022). With consumers becoming more environmentally conscious, there is also a growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Bio-based or plant-based packaging, carbon labeling and Green Dot Certified are among the fastest-growing environmental filters.

Sephora Care Better Rouge Satin Lipstick: 09 Spicy Hibiscus (France)

  • It comes in a 3 g plastic tube rigid. 
  • This lipstick contains a minimum of 90% natural origin. 
  • Vegan formula. Does not contain ingredients of animal origin. 
  • Made with 30% recycled plastic.
As consumers’ growing awareness about environmental issues is driving up demand for natural and sustainable products, the cosmetics industry is heightening its focus on developing formulas that meet these credentials. Products with green claims such as “recyclable,” “made from recycled materials,” and “responsibly sourced” are leading, while labels that distinguish bio-based/plant-based packaging, carbon labeling and Green Dot Certified are gaining ground.

Consumers are seeking to improve the health of their skin. Most often, this benefit is provided by active ingredients that help promote skin hydration, provide anti-aging effects and shield against environmental stressors.

Transparent labeling has become increasingly important as consumers are more concerned about the products they buy or use. Whether it is information about allergens, irritants, potentially harmful chemicals or the product’s environmental impact, it is disclosed in an easy-to-understand format, including the percentage of each ingredient used so that consumers can make more informed decisions about the products.
