PERSONAL CARE | INDUSTRY INFORAMTION

The worldwide Personal Care and Cosmetics industry is burgeoning. The UK is leading the way in this with
over 37% of all worldwide product launches being found here. The closest to this can be found within the
US, who provide 25% of all product launches [1].

In particular “luxury” ranges are becoming more popular, with 71% of all launches falling labelled as such.
We are seeing a growth of £2bn in business between 2015 and 2019 (£13bn – £15bn). This makes it is
easy to see why there are always new lines coming into market at present.
The sheer range of products in this area can’t be understated. They include (but are not limited to)
moisturisers, soaps, bath bombs, toothpaste, spot treatments and beyond. New lines, products and
niches are constantly appearing. As such, personal care is becoming an increasingly intriguing industry to
follow.

Although there are products for all customer groups, the major demographic appears to be middle
income groups (shown through the “luxury” range). Additionally, although there is also a slight female
inclination, this has softened noticeably over the years due to public perceptions changing with society.
UK Manufacturers generally require products to have a number of certifications for quality control. The
main two are a “clean label” and for the ingredients to have not been tested on animals (Leaping Bunny).
A growing number however are requiring more niche options ranging from organic to vegan & vegetarian
certifications just to name a few. As such, quality, testing, certification and customer/NPD approvals are
all increasingly more important in purchasing, sourcing and developing products and ingredients.

At Kilo we can supply most of your regular ingredients, additives, preservatives and functional chemicals
from amongst our ever-growing list of stocked items. We aim for maximum traceability and high levels of
quality in our products – all without compromising on being competitively priced. Our AA-Grade BRC
accreditation and strict vetting allows you peace of mind in your goods when they are bought from us. If
you have specific requirements that are important to your product (clean label, vegan, halal etc.), just let
us know. We can confirm our most current manufacturer information and source alternatives should it
be required.

So, if you have any questions, queries or would like pricing – please get in touch today! A rough overview
of the sorts of products we supply are available on our website.
