SPA Industry Growth

These stringent economical times are forcing many businesses to become smaller. As a result they’re losing customers and some are even shutting down completely. However, studies indicate that this is not the case with the spa industry. The number of visitors spending time at spas has more than doubled from 2003 to 2009. Our ageing population has led to growing consciousness towards well-being which has resulted in a boom in the spa industry. Spas are no longer exclusively limited to the wealthy and many consumers no longer see the spa as “pampering”, but as a requisite to stay healthy and to look good. This growth may also be the result of the stresses that many individuals undergo due to the unstable economy.

Green Cosmetics

As you may have guessed, Green is the new black. More and more cosmetic companies are making sure they manufacture earth friendly products. By providing eco friendly products, they are winning a new wave of consumers. They are promising more earthy friendly packaging and recyclable containers. In addition, most are adjusting their formulation methods by not including such things as sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, Petro-Chemicals, and Phthalates.
How do you know if the product you’ll be paying a premium for is truly natural, organic, or hypoallergenic? You have to look for Eco-Cert label as well as the USDA Organic seal which is used in more than 80 countries around the world.
