Thus, there is emerging demand for organic skincare product, made up of natural ingredient blend. Within the organic skincare product market, organic soap is increasingly in demand because of the health-related concerns among people because the widely available soaps are made up of harsh chemical like parabens and sulphates. Thus, the organic soaps are getting more customer attention because they not only nourish the skin, but also offer a healthy and rich experience to the customers. According to an upcoming report of BlueWeave Consulting, on “Global Organic Soap market”, the market of organic soap is expected to increase significantly, owing to increasing awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effect of chemicals on skin, coupled with rising cases of skin diseases. Along with the health concerns, the availability of organic soap on e-commerce channels and on the shelves of modern format stores, also increase the customer attraction for organic soap, in developing countries like India and China, where customers prefer premium product that is good for health, backed by increasing consumer spending in these countries.
