OUR BIG BET

Sensitive skin products
According to a 2022 study by Aveeno, more than 71% of individuals have sensitive skin, and the number of people who self-identify as having sensitive skin has increased by 55% over the past couple of decades. These factors, along with a growing awareness among consumers about skin conditions and treatment, are expected to help double the U.S. market for these products from its current value of $7 billion to more than $14 billion by 2030. Many businesses that manufacture and sell sensitive skin care products are thriving and are well-positioned for continued growth.
