Depilatories saw small positive value sales in Cameroon in 2024, with volume in a negative slump, albeit slightly less steep than seen in 2023. Unlike in Western markets, where beauty standards emphasise extensive hair removal, Cameroonian women feel less societal pressure to remove body hair beyond areas like the underarms and bikini line, as no one really puts emphasis on this. Additionally, the melanin skin tone makes hair less revealing.
