Beard Grooming Products on the Rise
Beard grooming products are on the rise as male consumers are looking for natural products to help them develop a thick, healthy, “manly” beard. Once referred to as ‘men’s toiletries’ (shampoo, deodorant, aftershave, cologne, etc) is now referred to as the men’s grooming industry. Even through the slowdown in world economic growth recently, beard grooming products have maintained an optimistic growth.
In fact, the global beard grooming products market is expected to post a CAGR of close to 7% during the period 2019-2023, according to the latest market research report by Technavio. They report that the “growing demand for organic and natural beard grooming products will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period.”
Beard grooming products primarily include beard balm, beard oil, beard shampoo, and beard soap. But, consumers are looking for natural beard grooming products that don’t cause the same issues as synthetic products can. Thus, savvy brands are formulating beard grooming products free-from harsh ingredients such as formaldehyde and sulfate.
One example of a natural beard grooming product is the Sandalwood Beard Balm made from Sapogel Q from Alchemy Ingredients.
