Research Highlights:

The French market for natural & organic cosmetics is the fastest growing in Europe, with sales increasing by over 20 percent a year.

High growth is occurring as natural & organic cosmetics become widely available. Distribution is increasing in pharmacies & para-pharmacies, perfumeries, department stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, spas and salons. In spite of expanding distribution, specialist retailers still comprise the bulk of product sales.

Retailer private labels are changing the landscape of the French market. Consumers are becoming attracted to the low prices of certified natural & organic cosmetic products in mass market retailers. A large take-up rate of the Cosmos standards is expected in France because of the popularity of the Ecocert standard with ingredient companies and cosmetic manufacturers.
