Baby boomers entering their fifties are making anti-aging products the core of the skincare market, pushing sales up to a record $4.4 billion in 2000. To woo a generation that loves nature but resorts to technology in a crisis, marketers combine botanical and engineered ingredients and present them in packaging that, increasingly, emphasizes a high-tech heritage. The skincare market is now the arena of a fierce battle between prestige and mass outlets, as drugstores hike prices to record levels and the pore strip phenomenon proves prestige no longer has a monopoly on innovation. This all-new Packaged Facts study dissects a complex and highly competitive market, uncovering sales and market share in the facial moisturizers, facial cleansers, and hand and body lotion categories, and exploring the competitive strategies of over 20 major players, including L'Oreal, Estee Lauder, Unilever, Kao (Andrew Jergens), Johnson & Johnson and Warner-Lambert. Ad spending and creative approaches, the competitive situation, distribution, and demographic trends receive their usual in-depth treatment.

Demand for Sunscreen, Natural Ingredients, Cosmeceuticals Cause Suncare/Lipcare Sales To Rise; Combined Market Reaches $1.3 Million

New York, March 21/PRNewswire –- MarketResearch.com, the leading provider of global market intelligence products and services, announced the release of a new research study "The U.S. Market for Suncare and Lipcare Products" from Packaged Facts. According to this study, rising concerns about sun protection, support of natural ingredients and hopes for more youthful living through cosmeceuticals have renewed enthusiasm for suncare/lipcare products. The year 2000 saw 75 new suncare products and 215 new suncare SKUs introduced, as well as an overall increase in lipcare products made with sunscreen formulas. These formulas now routinely incorporate natural, cosmeceutical and nutraceutical ingredients along with state-of-the-art sun protection like avobenzone.

"Natural products are a supertrend that shows no signs of abating," said Richard Koulbanis, Sr. VP of Publishing at MarketResearch.com. "Consumers, perceiving natural ingredients to be "good" and "pure", are more willing to try out and pay premium prices for health and beauty care products with natural formulations and ingredients."

The baby boom generation, notoriously concerned with maintaining their youth and health, continue to dictate which products are successful in the U.S. – including higher priced specialty products that offer protection from sun damage. The inclusion of sunscreen ingredients in beauty products has effectively attracted a broad range of new consumers, including men, children and sports enthusiasts. Consumers are, in turn, increasing their use of these products to secure sun protection benefits.

This Packaged Facts study focuses on the retail skincare market in the United States.

Numerous delivery forms, including creams, lotions, gels, foams, scrubs, astringents, toners, patches, and masks are discussed in the report.
