ResearchAndMarkets.com recently released the "Skin Care Products Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024" which discussed the trends in the global skincare market, noting that the market was worth US$ 128.9 Billion in 2018 and projected to reach a value of US$ 165.9 Billion by 2024, registering a CAGR of around 4% during 2019-2024.

The report continued, “Skin is one of the organs that receive the most damage owing to the exposure to external factors such as ultraviolet (UV) rays and pollution. Consequently, there has been an increase in the inclination among the masses towards engaging in a regular skin care regime, thus making it an integral part of personal well-being. This has led to the introduction of diversified products containing various chemical and herbal elements, aiming at the overall enhancement and maintenance of healthy skin. Urban regions, in particular, have been a witness to increasing consumers' inclination toward various skin care products owing to rising disposable income, aggressive promotional activities, and launch of innovative products by manufacturers. Rising awareness about both skin ailments and available treatments is propelling consumers to start using skin care products quite early, thus aiding the market growth. The market is further driven by an increasing number of women preferring anti-aging products which form a crucial segment of the skin care products market.”

As these factors influence the market we see more companies looking to expand their product portfolios as well as enter into new international marketplaces which are joining this skincare and wellness trend.

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUSrecently announced their estimated second-quarter results and updated its outlook for full-year 2019. The company anticipates reporting second-quarter revenue between $622 and $623 million and earnings per share of $0.82 to $0.84. The company's revised revenue outlook for 2019 is $2.48 to $2.52 billion with a negative foreign currency impact of approximately 4 percent, and earnings per share of $3.20 to $3.35.

"We are adjusting our guidance for the year primarily due to a reduced revenue outlook in Mainland China following the government's 100-day campaign to review and inspect the health products and direct selling industries," said Ritch Wood, Chief Executive Officer. "Continued restrictions on sales meetings, as well as media scrutiny, have negatively impacted consumer sentiment and contributed to this adjustment. While we anticipated we could begin holding meetings in the second quarter, meeting approvals for the industry have been significantly more restrictive than expected and remain limited. Additionally, the U.S. dollar has continued to strengthen, and we have adjusted our 2019 guidance to include a larger-than-anticipated foreign currency impact. We will provide more detail regarding results for the second quarter in our earnings release scheduled for Aug. 6."

CBD is also playing an important role in these markets with companies such as Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTC: GGBXF) who announced it has received a purchase order from American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. through which it will sell hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) infused personal care products in nearly 500 American Eagle (AE) stores and American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.’s online website.
The purchase order represents GGB's third major wholesale agreement since the passage of the Agriculture Act of 2018 in December 2018 (the 2018 Farm Bill).
The products, which were exclusively developed for American Eagle include a wide assortment of CBD-infused personal care items such as lotions, muscle balms, and aromatherapy.  Sales of the product are expected to begin in October 2019.
"We are very pleased to be partnering with American Eagle, a leader in the specialty retail space," said Green Growth Brands CEO, Peter Horvath. "GGB provided the expertise necessary to develop the product formulations and packaging to create a really special line of products."
All Green Growth Brands CBD products are sourced from US-based, licensed hemp processors and comply with the 2018 Farm Bill.  GGB sells and distributes topical CBD products only in jurisdictions that permit such sale.
Quality organic products are becoming a majority trend not just in the US and EU but also increasingly in every corner of the world. This increased awareness of product quality in the global consumer is forcing companies to adapt, which in turn is benefiting the consumer and their overall health and wellness.
