Naturally grown, gently clean.
PureSeedling (Mild Hygiene Care for the Little Ones)
As a parent, you want nothing but the best for your little one, especially when it comes to their delicate skin and hair. That's why it's important to choose the right cleansing and conditioning products that are gentle and safe for babies and children. Very mild formulations, such as baby shampoo, body wash, are designed to cleanse and moisturize without causing irritation or dryness. These gentle products are perfect for sensitive skin and can help keep your baby's hair and skin clean, soft, and healthy.
Market Background
In the world of baby and children's hygiene products, sales revenues saw an increase of approximately 9% in 2022 to $2.1B, while the global volume of these products remained steady at around 213 KMT. The stagnation in volume is commonly attributed to inflation and a declining birthrate in developed countries. Despite these obstacles, brands are pushing the boundaries of innovation to establish a strong brand identity through environmental and social responsibility and expand their label claims to include premium and age-differentiated product lines that meet the demands of modern consumers.
In addition to the crucial mildness requirement, these innovations include using natural and organic ingredients, tailoring products to specific age groups for targeted solutions, emphasizing the emotional benefits of their products, and incorporating playful textures and educational cleansing to create a deeper connection with parents and caregivers who want nothing but the best for their little ones. While actives and botanical extracts are still important for promotional purposes, mild biodegradable biosurfactants are gaining attention in the marketplace for their effectiveness, exceptional mildness, and unmatched eco-friendliness. As consumers become more conscious of the impact of their purchasing decisions on the environment, brands that incorporate sustainable and biodegradable ingredients into their products are likely to gain a competitive edge.
