The cosmetic emollient market size reached USD 584.91 Million in 2022 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Increasing application of moisturizing ingredients in cosmetic formulations, rising demand for cosmetics such as foundation creams and sunscreens, and increasing consumer interest toward natural emollients for skincare formulations across the globe are some of the key factors driving market revenue growth. In addition, rise in capital investments toward major cosmetic companies in the development of novel skincare ingredients and formulations is another major factor driving revenue growth of the market.

Emollients are refatting chemicals that are included in cosmetic formulations to provide the skin with the necessary fat. They improve the moisture level of the skin by minimizing evaporation, leaving it soft, silky, and non-greasy, and are hence commonly referred to as moisturizers. Glycerin, coconut oil, cocoa butter, mineral oil, and others are emollients that are utilized in cosmetics and personal care products. Emollients are refatting agents, or ingredients in cosmetic formulations that provide the skin with the necessary fat, in the terminology of cosmetics or dermo-cosmetics. The market is growing as a result of a wide range of availability of a large number of cosmetic moisturizers and creams with emollient formulations, which are clinically tested and recommended by dermatologists, which is contributing to revenue growth and driving demand for such products among consumers in the market. Emollients are slowly becoming more widely recognized by customers as excellent treatments for a variety of skin disorders as use of cosmetics has increased. They have been quite effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of skin conditions, which is creating high market adoption of such products. Dermatologists and many cosmetic businesses advise people with dry skin to complete a proper moisturizing therapy by selecting the optimal combination of emollients and humectants, which is contributing to revenue growth of the market.

One of the major factors driving revenue growth of the market is rising application of moisturizing ingredients in cosmetic formulations around the world. Emollients and other barrier repair compounds are now included in the latest generation of cosmetic moisturizers in addition to the standard moisturizer ingredients. The most popular of these emollients, silicones, mineral oil, paraffin, and petroleum, as well as fruit and vegetable oils, aid to replenish the inadequate lipids in various skin conditions marked by barrier impairment, like eczema and psoriasis. Today's market offers a wide variety of cosmetic moisturizers, and demand from consumers for these products is rising. As a result, many smaller businesses and startups are developing solutions to these problems while major corporations are rushing to find solutions in order to gain a competitive edge, which is driving revenue growth of this market.

Another major factor, which is becoming a trend in the market in recent years is increasing number of clinical trials for the development of sensory organ pharmaceutical drugs. For instance, on 23 February 2023, BASF, which is a global company and developer of various emollients, announced an investment in B2B Cosmetics, a strategic partner, to build up its personalized personal care product technology. The Emuage technology, a system that sends freshly manufactured, individualized cosmetics to consumers, has been developed further by B2B Cosmetics and BASF. The Emuage technology enables consumers to manufacture their own custom personal care products, such as those for hair, skin, or sun care, by selecting capsules, putting them in the machine, and obtaining the finished product. Furthermore, on 10 March 2021, Natural Products Canada announced the establishment of a new USD 50 million investment fund. Natural Products Canada Ventures (NPC Ventures) will participate in start-up Canadian businesses creating products made from natural sources as an alternative to synthetic ones. This investment focuses on rising demand for environment-friendly alternatives to manufactured products coming from almost every economic sector. Companies such as Unilever, whose skincare products are used every day by 3.4 billion people across the globe, are increasingly collaborating with biotechnology innovators to research, develop, and produce unique versions of chemicals that are derived from conventional natural sources. In addition, it is expected that the thriving e-commerce sector and rising demand for face creams, sunscreens, and body lotions across the globe are expected to have a beneficial impact on revenue growth of the market over the forecast period.

However, some of the significant factors which could restrain revenue growth of this market are high cost of natural or organic emollients for cosmetic formulations as well as challenges in formulating natural cosmetics. The cost of organic certification, higher labor costs, and price of companion planting for pest management are additional expenses for the manufacturer. Organic farmers just suffer higher costs than conventional farmers, which are passed on to consumers. In addition, a lot of organic products are produced in tiny batches, which raises the price for the consumer. Although labor- and time-intensive, these methods are sustainable, but they are more expensive than machine production. The cost of formulation for organic and natural skin care products is higher since they use more ingredients that are good for your skin, are primarily pure concentrated oils, and use non-toxic formulas made from carefully selected ingredients to produce better results than cheaply made drugstore products, which could hamper revenue growth of this market.

Based on type, the global cosmetic emollient market is segmented into natural and synthetic. The natural segment accounted for largest revenue share in 2022. Emollients with a natural base are crucial components used in personal care products to give skin and hair a supple and moisturized feel. Cold pressing of the powdered fruit, leaf, seed, or nut paste, with or without the addition of solvents, is the typical method used to extract plant-based emollients. Highly refined oils often contain 1% unsaponifiable, making unrefined resources a superior choice in formulations. Animal-derived emollients, which are used less commonly, are typically extracted from either animal fat or hair. Natural emollients like Lanolin (Medilan by Croda) have a long history of use in skin and lip products as a lubricant and moisturizer, and research on dry skin have shown that it is just as effective as petrolatum. The majority of businesses are developing natural plant-based emollients that offer the best moisturization and emolliency benefits as well as a variety of sensory qualities to best enhance the final formulation. These emollients are currently available from businesses in a variety of cosmetic products, including body washes, lotions, and face creams, to meet any formulation needs. Similar to petrolatum, these compounds exhibit outstanding Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) performance. These are some of the factors driving revenue growth of this segment.

The synthetic segment is expected to register a steady revenue CAGR during the forecast period. There are various synthetic emollients available; however, emollient esters are the most widely used in cosmetics. Many substances generated from vegetable oils and petrochemicals, including butylene glycol, capric/caprylic triglyceride, ceteareth-20, and fatty alcohols, are used in synthetic emollients. The most frequently utilized ones to provide skincare products a pleasant texture are cyclomethicone, dimethicone, and cyclopentasiloxane. They also assist in the efficient delivery of performance cosmetic chemicals. Some artificial emollients, like polymers, are comparatively new artificial silicones that serve as spreading agents. In addition, they allow the skin to glide and slip, and since they leave a protective coating on the skin's surface, they are frequently referred to as breathable barriers. These factors are driving revenue growth of this segment.

Based on application, the global cosmetic emollient market is segmented into face creams & moisturizers, lip cosmetics, sunscreens, foundation creams, shaving creams, shampoo & conditioners, and others. The face creams & moisturizers segment accounted for largest revenue share in 2022. Emollient is used face creams and lotion products intended to lubricate, moisturize, and protect the skin. Emollients come in a variety of forms and are made up of oily ingredients like lanolin, glyceryl stearate, and soy sterols, which fill in the skin's surface cracks to soften and smooth the skin. Emollients are skincare products used topically to moisturize and calm the skin. They apply a shielding coating to the skin to keep moisture from escaping. Emollients are frequently used to treat dry, itchy, or scaly skin diseases like ichthyosis, psoriasis, and eczema. Face creams such as Blemish Balm (BB) creams provide a foundation cream-like effect and is used for priming the skin while also acting as hydrant for skin due to their moisturizing properties and emollient ingredient formula. The aesthetic quality and stability of the active components used in such creams are enhanced by the addition of specific emollients. These are some of the main factors driving revenue growth of this segment.

The lip cosmetics segment is expected to register a steady revenue CAGR during the forecast period. Lip cosmetics are increasingly blending with skincare in terms of ingredients. A lip color cosmetics report states that more than 40% of lip launches make the promise to be moisturizing, 22% are botanical, 11% are vitamin/mineral fortified, and 2% are antiaging. According to consumer research by Mintel, 20% to 30% of French, German, Italian, and Spanish women who purchase lip color cosmetics base their purchasing decisions on the ingredients. With such a high demand for multifunctional and moisturizing lip cosmetics, many companies are now integrating a unique profile of natural emollients in their lip cosmetic products to create a moisturizing and shining effect, which is driving revenue growth of this segment. They are abundant in natural emollients such as tocopherols, phospholipids, and vital fatty acids that maintain the integrity of the skin's barrier.

Based on distribution channel, the global cosmetic emollient market is segmented into offline and online. The offline segment is expected to account for largest revenue share during the forecast period owing to offline stores facilitating a variety of options of cosmetic emollient products promoting both branded and private labeled products. Retail stores help to give consumers the luxury of choice, where they can choose among several brands. Customers can also speak with retail store owners and workers about the various products to get relevant information. Retail store owners and workers can assist consumers to make the right choice, which can be more convenient for them who want a more efficient purchasing process rather than searching online. Retail stores enable the comprehensive shift of the consumers’ purchasing journey, improve their satisfaction, and enable better buying outcomes.

The online segment is expected to register significantly raid revenue CAGR during the forecast period. Increased availability of online services and rise in Internet users both contribute to revenue growth of this segment. Furthermore, the majority of consumers prefer to purchase online, due to the lower pricing offered compared to other merchants and physical stores. This sector also offers several other features such as speedy delivery, easy ordering process, and lower transaction and product costs. It also provides a more convenient purchasing process as consumers can make purchases from the comfort of their homes. These are the major factors driving revenue growth of the segment.

The market in North America is expected to account for largest revenue share during the forecast period, which is attributed to increasing strategic initiatives and partnerships by key market players for the production of sustainable cosmetic products using natural emollients, rising regulatory approvals for cosmetics well as increase in investments made by various public and private organizations in the region. On 22 September 2022 for instance, BASF and RiKarbon, which is Fa technology start-up based in the U.S., announced the signing of a collaboration pact to exclusively license and commercialize RiKarbon's intellectual technology. The patented technology of RiKarbon supports the industry's pursuit of cutting-edge sustainable solutions by upcycling bio-waste into bio-based, biodegradable emollients for the global personal care market. The effective R&D work at RiKarbon has shown how bio-waste can be transformed into new, distinctive emollient chemical structures, and has helped to advance the technology fast from the laboratory scale to the pilot stage.

The market in Europe is expected to register a steady growth rate over the forecast period, which is attributed to rising product launches by major market companies as well as increasing government initiatives for Research and Development (R&D) activities for natural emollients for organic cosmetic products for face and lip in the region. On 29 November 2022 for instance, Symrise announced the launch of the 100% green raw material-based SymDiol 68 in its green version. The contemporary blend promotes product protection, stabilizes emulsions, and hydrates the skin. Its simplicity of use and high level of efficacy will also be advantageous to the cosmetics industry. Caprylyl glycol and 1,2-hexanediol, two 100% green 1,2-alkanediols that are normally employed as an emollient or humectant in formulations used for skin care and color cosmetics and go into green formulations, are combined to create SymDiol 68 green.
