[A GREEN BEAUTY]


45% of French households bought a non-food organic product in 2010. 


However, only 26% of French housholds have bought an organic cosmetic product in 2010. This 'green' trend shows that the consumption of these products have high potential for growth. 

The main actors of the skincare market understood this and they all launched a new range: Mixa Bio (June 2010), Garnier Bio Active (September 2010), NIVEA Pure & Natural (November 2010), Diadermine Bio-Expertise (Janvier 2011)



First, let's underline the difference between “Natural” and “Organic”. Many brands always play on the significance of words and use it as a marketing tools.


“The term natural has a broad meaning. According to government labeling requirements, "natural" means that an ingredient has not been significantly altered from its original state, nor has anything been removed from it (with the exception of water), nor have other substances been added to it.”


A product can be called organic if it has certification seals, and eco-labels on its packaging. In France “Ecocert” and “Cosmebio” are the labels you need to certify that your product is really organic. 



You can find below 2 TV ads, one for NIVEA Pure & Natural ( a non-organic product) & one from Garnier Bio-Acitve (an organic product). If this two adds use the same natural background, Garnier emphazises in its certifications.





Diadermine Bio Expertise - the new born of organic face care

The newest range of skincare products is BIO expertise, this is highly effective anti-aging face products based on natural ingredients. The "Laboratoires Diadermine" created this effective anti-wrinkle line with 99% ingredients from natural origin. This skincare line includes the following anti-aging components:
