Skin-lightening Products have the potential to improve skin tone, eliminate blemishes, and lessen pigmentation and discoloration. There is a growing desire to find a solution for specific skin issues, such as age spots and acne scars spot reduction. To meet the diverse needs of consumers, lighting products are being introduced by manufacturers. In December 2020, Blac Chyna partnered with Dencia to launch ‘Whitenicious’, a skin-brightening product, in Nigeria.
Market Dynamics
The COVID-19 outbreak greatly influenced consumer preferences. Consumers are now diligently looking for active and functional skincare products. This is expected to boost market growth prospects over the forecast period. To meet the ever-changing needs of customers, manufacturers are in the process of constantly developing new products. Shiseido Co. Ltd., Japan’s cosmetics manufacturer, introduced a multifunctional sunscreen called Anessa in June 2021. This product includes 50% skincare ingredients including m-tranexamic acid (TXA), a brightening ingredient that helps reduce the production of melanin.
This market will observe an increase in organically and naturally derived products as consumers become more aware of the negative effects of chemical-laden products. Aloe Vera and sea kelp are all organically and naturally grown and can be used to lighten skin. Petitcomo Cosmetics, a Korean cosmetic company, has launched two new lightening masks, Aqua Mask White and Ampoule Mask Black Edition, which are made with natural herbal ingredients to improve the skin’s tone.
In recent years, self-care has become more important than ever. Consumers have been encouraged to make relaxing home-care routines and create self-care experiences that are both effective and enjoyable. This key trend is driving consumers to look for products that contain active organic ingredients that lighten and brighten their skin, such as creams & lotions, peels, repair creams, masks, powders, serums, and scrubs. Vasu Healthcare introduced a premium skin-brightening range in November 2021 – rose and gold. The range includes face serums, face creams, and face washes. They are available online shopping at Amazon, and Flipkart, as well as its own website.
To improve a product’s effectiveness, companies continue to invest in research and development initiatives for skin-lightening creams. Cellif Microbalm, a capsule cream with microcapsule technology, was launched by Dr. Raymond Laboratories Inc., the leading brand LaStella. Each microcapsule has six components: shea butter, which provides intense moisturizing, adenosine, to reduce visibly occurring anti-aging signs, Argan oil, vitamin tree oil, and olive oil to boost the skin’s vitality, peptides, which restores texture, and rose water for soothing and moisturizing.
However, there are growing controversies about skin-lightening products around the world that could hinder this market’s growth. In July 2020, Unilever changed the name of Fair & Lovely, the most popular melanin-suppressing skin cream in India. It did so because of the criticism it received for branding products that rely on racial stereotypes. The company changed the product name to ‘Glow & Lovely’ and dropped the word fair’. Johnson & Johnson, which included the Neutrogena Fine Fairness lines in Asia and the Middle East as well as the Clean & Clear Fairness brand for India, also retreated from their skin-whitening business.
