The global organic mascara market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the rising use of cosmetic products among women and an increasing demand for organic beauty products. The market, characterized by its fragmented nature, has witnessed robust competition among global, regional, and local players. Competitive pricing and product innovation have been key strategies employed to gain market share.
In recent years, waterproof organic mascaras have gained popularity. Companies like Skin2Spirit, Milk Makeup, and Palladio Beauty have responded to this trend by launching their own waterproof organic mascara products. Furthermore, ongoing research and development efforts and improved production efficiency have made organic mascaras more competitive in terms of pricing compared to their chemical-based counterparts.
Gel and cream-based organic mascaras have witnessed the fastest growth in recent years. The Body Shop International's Brow and Lash gel is a well-received product in these segments.
Other prominent brands in the market include Burt's Bees, Beautycounter, Noix De Coco, Physician's Formula, Pacifica, Naturally Rooter, Petra Organics, Dizao Organics, and various others.
The offline mode has traditionally dominated organic mascara sales, with retail cosmetic stores drawing the largest consumer footfall. Manufacturers have formed partnerships with retailers to boost product visibility. For instance, Milk Makeup partnered with Sephora in 2019 to sell their products in Sephora's US stores.
Simultaneously, the online platform has seen substantial growth, prompting manufacturers to strengthen their online presence. Celebrity endorsements continue to be a vital marketing strategy to enhance brand visibility.
The primary driver of the organic mascara market has been the increasing awareness of the potential health risks associated with chemicals in cosmetic products. Additionally, the growing use of contact lenses, particularly among working professionals, has led to a preference for eye products less likely to cause irritation.
While the global cosmetic industry as a whole has been affected by the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, health concerns stemming from the pandemic aftermath may contribute to the continued growth of organic mascaras.
In recent years, North America and Europe have dominated the organic mascara market, reflecting their significant share in the overall cosmetics and mascara market. Meanwhile, the East Asian and South Asian regions have experienced the fastest growth, driven by their growing economies. The burgeoning Indian cosmetics market is expected to further boost the South Asian regional segment in the near future.
Latin America, Oceania, and the Middle East and Africa also play key roles in the organic mascara market. Notably, the GCC countries in the Middle East have witnessed substantial market growth, led by Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.
The organic mascara market is highly competitive, featuring both established global players and emerging brands. Leading companies in the market include Lotus Herbals Limited, Ecco Bella, Josie Maran Cosmetics, BUXOM Cosmetics, Ulta Beauty, Odylique, Palladio Beauty Group, Au Naturale Cosmetics, Rejuva Minerals, RMS Beauty, Revlon, Green People, Endlessly Beautiful, The Body Shop International, Essential Care (Organics), Skin2Spirit, Inika Cosmetics, Milk Makeup, Tony & Tina Vibrational Remedies, and EVXO Cosmetics.
Product innovation and new launches have been pivotal in expanding market presence. Notable recent examples include Inika's introduction of three vegan raw material-based organic mascaras - Bold Lash, Curvy Lash, and The Mascara in 2019, and Endlessly Beautiful's release of new brown shades in their organic mascara line.
