What are Cosmetic Dyes?
Cosmetic Dyes are the substances used as a colouring agent in most of the cosmetics products such as nail products, hair colour products, lip products, mascara, foundations, and others. The dyes are prepared from heavy metals like lead, chromium, iron, etc due to their colouring and bacteria-killing features. Iron oxide is used to get the red colour, chromium is used to get the green colour, whereas mica is used in blush and foundations. Cosmetics dyes are classified as natural dyes and synthetic dyes. The cosmetic and personal care industry is booming, resulting in increasing demand for cosmetic dyes. Various celebrities promote the use of cosmetic products as well as the presence of social media platforms which increase the consciousness about personal appearance are the factors driving the cosmetic dyes industry.
Here are some driving factors that drive the market growth of cosmetic dye.
Use of natural cosmetics for healthier living:
Growing awareness of the use of natural ingredients in cosmetic products is driving the market. For safe and healthy skin, consumers mainly prefer cosmetic products which contain natural dyes extracted from plant parts. Black sugar, citric content, tea extract, and medicinal plants are some of the natural ingredients used in cosmetic dyes. To avoid the harmful effects of chemicals in cosmetics, skin-friendly and healthy natural ingredient usage is likely to drive the Cosmetic Dyes market.
Celebrity endorsement of cosmetic products:
Celebrities’ endorsement on cosmetic products affects the buying behavior of consumers. Consumers are easily influenced by celebrities, which increases the sale of cosmetic products. Also, the disposable income of consumers is rising, which makes consumers purchase premium cosmetic products. Even the advertisement of cosmetic products makes consumers more aware of brands and conscious about their personal appearance. All such reasons boost the cosmetic products market which eventually drives the Cosmetic Dyes market growth.
Restraining factors of the cosmetic dye market:
The harmful effect of chemicals used in cosmetic dyes:
The cosmetic products that individuals use contain synthetic ingredients which are harmful for the skin. Synthetic dyes contain toxins that can cause cancer risk, rash, skin irritation, and neurotoxicity. The FD&C colors are commonly used synthetic colors derived from coal tar which can cause cancer. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the risk of getting cancer due to the RED No. 3 is no longer than 1 in 100000 over the lifetime of consumption. Chloroform, bithionol, mercury compounds, and hexachlorophene are some of the chemicals banned in cosmetics. Hence all such reasons are likely to hinder the Cosmetic Dyes market. The use of organic dyes can minimize the adverse effect of synthetic dyes.
Conclusion
Cosmetic dye will have great demand in the upcoming years because of the increasing use of personal care products. The global market players are doing innovation and advancement in cosmetic dye to propel their market growth.
