Cosmetic preservatives apply to different ingredients explicitly added to prevent microorganisms and contamination during the cosmetic product's formulation, packaging, storage or usage. In most goods, preservatives are important for preventing product harm caused by microorganisms and protecting the product from inadvertent consumer contamination during use. An antimicrobial is called an ingredient that protects the product from microorganism growth. Without preservatives, cosmetic products, just like food, can become contaminated, leading to product spoilage and possibly irritation or infections. Considerable problems can be caused by microbial contamination of goods, especially those used around the eyes and on the skin.

Preservatives help avoid issues like that. Natural versions, such as oil extracts of curry leaves, cinnamon and clove buds, and synthetic variants, including parabens, organic acids, formaldehyde releasers, phenoxyethanol and isothiazolinones, etc., are some of the widely available cosmetic preservatives. Personal care products, such as face masks, lotions, sunscreens, scrubs, hair conditioners, soaps, face powders, are usually applied to them.

Improving inclination of population towards self-care with up-gradation in cosmetic products quality and increasing beauty awareness among the user

Earlier personal care and cosmetics were termed to be one of the biggest luxuries; however, it referred to be a major part of our lifestyle in recent times. Besides, the trend of personal grooming is popular among the young population and catching up with people from all generations. However, in recent times self-grooming is popular, whether it be an elderly person or an adult. This growing self-care is more likely to accelerate the cosmetics industry. The key players are adopting different methods to develop preservatives to improve the shelf life of the product. Cosmetic goods can easily get infected by fungi and bacteria because of the water and oil content. To avoid skin infections and other issues, cosmetic preservatives are typically added as antioxidants, antimicrobials and stabilizers, thereby positively affecting the market for items. Another growth-inducing factor is numerous product developments, such as phenol derivatives as an efficient alternative to parabens. Manufacturers are emphasizing producing cosmetics with improved shelf-life and organic preservatives to minimize the risks of contamination.

For instance, in October 2018, The Dow Microbial Control launched two new product lines within its Neolone personal care preservatives portfolio. Neolone is a bio-based naturally derived ethyl lauroyl Arginate and Neolone PH phenoxyethanolblends. Both product lines reflect Dow's dedication to helping formulators, manufacturers, and brand owners overcome the modern personal care industry's challenges.

The growing demand of consumers towards natural products over synthetic is another factor adding value to the cosmetic preservatives market.

Earlier synthetic preservatives were customers' first choice due to the product's high efficiency and good shelf life. However, rising concerns regarding synthetic chemicals pertaining to their safety and carcinogenic nature have promoted natural and organic alternatives that may favor the cosmetic preservatives market. Natural preservatives, including natural antioxidants, herbal extracts, organic acids, and natural oils, are expected to grow during the forecast timeframe. Antifungal and antibacterial activity is evidenced by essential oils like thyme, neem, lime, rosemary, clove and lavender. It also helps to balance the shelf life of goods with the use of less preservatives. Thus, due to less side effects and better natural preservatives, the cosmetic preservative industry creates immense opportunities to build a larger market share in the coming future.

For instance, in May 2020, BASF released five active ingredients for cosmetic and body care products approved as organic by COSMOS-standard. This includes the active ingredients Dulcemin derived from sweet almond seed flour, Lipofructyl derived from argan oil, and the skincare ingredient Elestan derived from the Manilkara tree leaves in West Africa.

Limited protection and comparative to synthetic preservatives less effectiveness of natural preservatives are severely hampering the cosmetic preservatives' growth in recent times.

Cosmetic preservatives offer various advantages in different cosmetic products, and changing customer lifestyle has uplifted the market of cosmetic preservatives over the past few years. However, both synthetic and natural preservatives have shown one or the other disadvantages of hampering the market's growth in the forecast period. The primary disadvantage of natural preservatives is they do not cover a wider spectrum of protection. Among the most effective natural preservatives are essential oils and various herbs such as rosemary, cinnamon, tea tree, clove, thyme, lavender, neem, grape seed, etc., which more organism-specific than their synthetic counterparts are. However, natural preservatives may be effective against one organism only, but not another, and they must be carefully blended to create a synergistic effect against a range of organisms. Thus limited protection and comparative to synthetic preservatives less effectiveness of natural preservatives are severely hampering the product's growth in recent times.
