APW Press Release
BOULDER, COLO., Nutrition Business Journal (NBJ) today announced the release of its Natural & Organic Personal Care and Household Products Report.� This 237-page report features more than 10 years of NBJ's market research data for the natural & organic personal care (N&OPC) and household products market, including market size and growth estimates and company profiles for more than 50 of the top N&OPC � and household product companies in the United States. Detailed sales by product are presented for cosmetics, skincare, hair care, feminine hygiene, baby care, nail care, oral hygiene, bath items, deodorants, shaving products, soap, and aromas & fragrances.
Said NBJ Research Manager Carla Ooyen: "NBJ has enhanced the N&OPC and Household Products Report to include detailed profiles for each of our 12 personal care and four household product categories. We also expanded our company profiles to include more detailed information on the companies and their products, as well as adding profiles on household products companies."
"Personal care and houshold goods might represent 'down the drain' products, but consumers have yet to show signs of trading down from natural and organic in this category," said Carlotta Mast, NBJ's editor. "This shows that consumers increasingly understand that the quality of the products they put on their face and bodies matters, just as it does with the food they eat."
