Key Highlights

• An increased focus on personal hygiene and grooming is leading male consumers to purchase a wider range of men’s-specific toiletries beyond shaving products.
• The increasing prevalence of skin allergies, combined with less favorable perceptions of synthetic ingredients, is contributing to higher demand for natural ingredients and botanicals, such as tea tree oil, coconut oil, and aloe vera, in men’s toiletries.
• Rising demand for sustainable packaging is prompting brands to adopt eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, seaweed, and cardboard. In addition, as manufacturers advance circular economy objectives, recyclable and post-consumer recycled packaging options are being used more frequently in men’s toiletries.
