1. The natural ingredients market: while mainstream personal
care sales lag, natural-based products continue to make
leaps forward.
IN RECENT YEARS, natural products have grown from a niche segment to one of the fastest-
growing categories in personal care, according to marketing research companies.
In fact, although health and beauty care sales in grocery and drug stores (excluding Wal-Mart)
declined 1.2% in 2002 according to Information Resources Inc., Chicago, natural personal care
(NPC) grew 10% to $4.1 billion in 2002, according to executives for the Nutrition Business Journal.
NPC outperformed other natural product segments, such as functional foods, which grew 7-8%, and
supplements, which increased 3-4%, according to preliminary NBJ estimates for 2002.
From Farm to Pharmacy, and Beyond
According to these numbers, natural personal care is now outpacing many other natural product
categories in comparative growth--ironic, considering that these categories were personal care's
forerunners.
"The growth in the natural personal care market is reflective of continued growth in the wider
natural foods market," said Ed Matson of Carrubba Inc., Milford, CT.
Natural ingredients were first investigated for their possible pharmaceutical uses; following
scientific validation of various natural ingredients, the focus then moved to personal care, according
to industry suppliers.
"The growth of the natural personal care market will continue based on the continued growth we see
in the nutraceutical market," said Anthony Ansaldi, marketing director, Presperse Inc., Somerset,
NJ. "If we review the trends in both markets, we see that many times, new naturals coming into the
personal care market originated in the nutraceutical market."
Mr. Ansaldi added that "growth in nutraceutical and alternative therapies has greatly increased
consumer awareness about the benefits of naturals, and this can only help increase usage in
cosmetics."
Patricia Singh, senior director of sales, cosmetic division, Bio-Botanica, Hauppauge, NY, agreed,
"Recent scientific studies have validated the beneficial effects of botanicals for more than just
pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. As a result, we have witnessed greater interest and
increased growth of botanicals for a variety of applications in the personal care and cosmetic
categories, ranging from hair and nail care products to skin lighteners, cosmetics and bath and body
formulations."
This scientific support boosts consumers' confidence in natural finished products, a trend that has
been building strength for years. "An overwhelming, positive trend toward healthier lifestyles is
sweeping today's consumer marketplace," said Leanne Fawcett, sales executive, Natunola Health,
Winchester, Ontario. "More and more, cosmetic and personal care consumers demand all-natural

2. ingredients to complement their concerns for personal health and wellness."
To that end, the company provides vegetable oils such as canola, sunflower, castor and rice bran in
various preparations. Though the oils themselves have been used for quite some time, Natunola, like
other natural ingredient manufacturers, is seeking new uses for them. For instance, "We offer a
unique natural alternative to (petroleum-derived) ingredients," Ms. Fawcett said.
Such specific uses for fractions of long-used extracts and oils would seem to be the wave of the
future in the natural personal care market, where consumers are demanding more from products
while maintaining that they want as natural a product as possible.
Smarter Shoppers
At one time, including a few herbs on the label was enough to convince consumers to make the
purchase. However, shoppers have become ever more savvy and now demand more than a passing
mention of botanical extracts or vegetable oils.
According to industry experts contacted by Happi, "dusting"--adding just enough of an ingredient to
list it on the label, but not enough to have a perceivable benefit--was a longstanding problem in the
natural products industry. Today, reputable marketers are working to offset that negative
association in a variety of ways.
Bio-Botanica "is unique in the industry because botanicals have been our only business and focus,"
said Dorie Greenblatt, director of marketing. "We are technical experts in working with them for
over three decades. Our manufacturing facilities are FDA-registered and pharmaceutically licensed,
following strict cGMP and SOP standards. This means that we comply with the most stringent
manufacturing standards found in both the natural and pharmaceutical industries."
Executives at Croda, Parsippany, NJ, are strict with their botanical ingredients too. "Organic
certification is becoming an important issue in the natural products market," pointed out Barbara
Woldin of the company. As a result, many of the company's natural ingredients are certified by
Ecocert, an inspection and certification body that can verify the conformity of organic products
against the organic regulations of Europe, Japan or the U.S.
Mike Hooper, research and development director, Body Blue Inc., Mississauga, Ontario, said that
organic certification could become a key driver for natural personal care product growth in the near
future.
But in the meantime, "while awaiting the implementation of regulations for the use of 'certified
organic' materials in personal products, market leaders are currently using the food regulations as
guidelines," Mr. Hooper said. "Therefore, for products containing greater than 70% 'certified
organic' materials, companies are able to claim the actual percentage content."
Some natural products, such as aloe vera and lavender, have been studied for years and provide
effects that are generally accepted by both the public and the scientific community as beneficial.
Others are currently being studied for potential benefits. Still others with traditional-use
backgrounds are studied scientifically to determine which effects are verifiable and can be applied
to today's finished products in order to better support claims.
Far and Wide

3. On the opposite side of traditionally-used extracts (such as aloe vera, chamomile and lavender) are
new botanicals with new uses.
How far are natural ingredient manufacturers willing to go to find a unique new ingredient?
To the ends of the earth, it would seem. Presperse represents a number of companies that offer
natural ingredients; one, Bioland Ltd., is currently farming the riches of the sea for novel new
offerings. So is Secma Biotechnologies Marines.
Presperse also offers extracts from the arctic, which until now has remained a relatively untapped
area for personal care product resources.
Centerchem, Norwalk, CT, is also looking to the sea for inspiration. The Pronaleen Sports Skin Re-
energizer from Provital SA is a naturally-derived, standardized natural fraction of marine algae
"whose function is to restore by topical application the electrolytes that are lost through perspiration
from exercise," said Michael Boyar, executive vice president, Centerchem.
And Croda delved the Amazon rainforest for its Crodamazon line, which includes Cupuacu, a tropical
butter similar to shea butter; Buriti, a lipid emollient extracted from Mauritia flexuosa, a palm-like
Brazillian tree and Maracuja, an emollient oil harvested from passionflower seeds.
"The Crodamazon line represents Croda's commitment to develop plant-derived products with a
policy toward preserving the rainforest's natural resources, while promoting the economic
development of the regions involved in the venture," said Ms. Woldin. This double benefit should
please consumers who are both health-conscious and ecologically aware.
Beraca Ingredients, Sao Paulo, Brazil, is another company that offers novel natural ingredients
obtained from the Amazon region. The company's offerings include Brazil nut oil (rich in oleic acids
and vitamins), Copaiba oil (for lotions, ant-inflammatory creams and blemish treatments), Buriti oil
(for after-sun products and soaps), Passion Fruit oil (for creams, lotions and other skin care
products) and many other naturally-derived products.
To obtain these botanicals from the Amazon, Beraca Ingredients has purchase commitments with
more than 2,500 families throughout the region, company executives said.
According to Beraca, these commitments ensure that the development of the Amazon region does
not come at the expense of the people in the region.
Some Natural Questions
When it comes to natural ingredients, the pluses are obvious--botanicals are generally viewed
(though often erroneously) as more gentle than their synthetic counterparts, they're often based on
long-standing tradition and their images of health, growth and bounty are comforting to today's
consumer.
Unfortunately, natural products have their share of drawbacks as well. One difficulty lies in the
potential lack of conformity; it's difficult to gauge that a given batch of extract will contain exact
percentages of active material.
"Natural ingredients are usually variable in quality and consistency," pointed out Mr. Hooper of
Body Blue. "Natural materials often contain undesirable components that would likely be excluded

4. from a synthetic equivalent. In addition, natural materials are more susceptible to oxidation and
contamination by bacteria."
Therein lies the dilemma of today's natural ingredients manufacturer or marketer. "True naturals
contain no additives, so technically, a true natural is supplied without antioxidants or preservatives,"
explained Ms. Woldin of Croda. "This is okay in the raw material as long as normal GMPs are
observed. However, care in formulating must be exercised to protect the final user during
consumption."
The obvious answer would be a natural preservative--something that is elusive in the current market,
at least as far as claims with actual anti bacterial or microbial percentages are concerned. However,
natural preservatives are warranting deeper investigation these days, and though claims may still be
in the future, anecdotal evidence and isolated research is available.
Shaheen Majeed, executive assistant to the chief executive officer, Sabinsa Corp., Piscataway, NJ,
said, "The main concerns (in creating natural ingredients) are ingredient quality, shelf life and
safety. An all-natural product should be formulated with effective natural preservatives and
antimicrobial agents."
According to Mr. Majeed, "We do have a number of natural herbal extracts that are reported to be
effective natural preservatives. These function as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents and include
tetrahydrocurcuminoids, rosemary, extract, rosmarinic acid, olive leaf extract, ursolic acid and
turmeric oil, to name a few."
Safety First
Sabinsa isn't the only company that is investigating the use of natural antioxidants and
antimicrobials. Certain extracts have been used for years on the basis that they may help protect
products, and consequently, the consumers themselves.
"There is a lot of demand for natural materials that can be used in place of synthetic materials or
materials from a non-renewable source," said Mr. Hooper of Body Blue. "The use of natural vitamin
E as a preservative is a good example."
Another is Hidrox, from Creagri Inc., an olive extract that contains a very high level of
hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is a potent natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, according to
Body Blue executives.
Executives at Arista added that rosemary oil and cranberry oil can deliver preservative effects.
Mr. Hooper of Body Blue commented that though certain ingredients seem to offer preservative
benefits, marketers are still a step or two away from achieving that elusive dream: an all-natural
preservative.
"As of today, there is no single natural material that can claim to be the ideal natural preservative,"
Mr. Hooper cautioned. "Some materials, such as grapefruit seed extract, are good for particular
applications. However, the high usage levels that are required to achieve good performance may
have a negative effect on the overall formula."
Bio-Botanica executives say they may have the closest answer yet. BioPein, an all-natural
preservative, is a proprietary blend of botanical extracts that has been shown to possess anti-

5. microbial properties.
The ingredient was tested against an array of microorganisms with different susceptibilities. These
organisms included gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative Escherichia coli,
Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginonse, acid fast bacterium
Mycobacterium smegmatis and the yeast Candida albicans.
For comparison, a variety of well-known synthetic preservatives were used, including
phenoxyetbanol, phenylethyl alcohol and a combination of methyl- and propylparabens in a ratio of
5:4.
"The minimum inhibitory concentration, the lowest concentration capable of inhibiting the growth of
the above-mentioned organisms, was determined for each agent," explained Ms. Singh of the
company. "BioPein, at a level of 0.15-0.3%, had the lowest MIC, demonstrating its activity as a
potent inhibitor of various microorganisms."
The study was conducted at BioBotanica's FDA registered, pharmaceutically-licensed facility.
Lonza recently entered the natural preservatives market with the launch of Natrulon, a patent-
pending, naturally-derived preservative platform. It combines highly-effective, naturally-derived
ingredients in easy-to-use liquid products.
As natural ingredients are backed by more and more such studies, consumer confidence in natural
finished products could grow yet further, and manufacturers may close the gap between "natural"
and "preservative," industry experts insist.
Standing Out
Besides controlled studies and technical data sheets--neither of which the average consumer usually
has access to--how can natural ingredient manufacturers provide reassurance that their products
stand out from the crowd of natural ingredients currently being marketed?
For one thing, the ingredient must have a perceivable effect. Larry Smith, vice president of
International Sourcing Inc. (ISI), Franklin Lakes, NJ, said his company's extracts have constituents
that can produce the effects consumers want.
For example, "Cariciline, a natural gel of ficus carica (fig) fruit, contains a large content of
polysaccharides to create moisturizing and refreshing effects," Mr. Smith said. "And our ARP100 can
reduce hair growth."
Rather than simply adding an extract in a formula for the name, marketers should choose natural
ingredient manufacturers who have done their homework. "Formulators should look into the active
parts of plant, sea and mineral products," said Mr. Smith.
Since there are many variables within each plant species depending upon the extraction method and
other factors, "manufacturers must be able to scientifically validate raw materials to insure that the
quality, purity, potency, consistency and efficacy are in line with customer specifications," said Ms.
Greenblatt of Bio-Botanica. The company's in-house laboratories and state-of-the-art facilities allow
Bio-Botanica to validate ingredient species, detect ingredient adulteration and confirm purity,
potency and microbial activity, Ms. Greenblatt said.

6. "The key to selecting ingredients is making sure that one is in partnership with a credible
manufacturer who not only understands botanicals, but how these ingredients can best be used and
in what form, depending on product application," Ms. Greenblatt advised.
In formulating with a natural ingredient, "simply switching from synthetic to natural equivalents is
not possible without studying the effect on the finished product stability," pointed out Mr. Hooper of
Body Blue.
However, certain natural ingredients can effectively replace the activity of a synthetic counterpart.
For example, the removal of propylene glycol in deodorant sticks and the reformulation of shampoos
to remove sodium lauryl sulphate/sodium laureth sulphates are currently possible, Mr. Hooper said.
Standardization and consistency are also important. According to Mr. Boyar of Centerchem,
"Chemical purity and standardization are important considerations when formulating with naturally-
derived ingredients. This will help ensure batch-to batch consistency in production."
The natural color of the extracted material must also be taken into consideration. "Natural
ingredients can often vary in color from lot to lot; certainly, much more so than synthetic
ingredients," said Mr. Matson of Carrubba. "This must be considered when formulating."
In the final analysis, claims and studies notwithstanding, there must be an end benefit that the
consumer can feel, see or smell, industry suppliers said. "To be 'natural' is not the whole story," said
Mr. Boyar. "There must be a functional reason for the natural ingredient to be formulated into
personal care products." When this is achieved, natural personal care can continue to grow.

properties similar to these classic butters. This exotic butter acts as an emollient and has a high
capacity for water absorption, offering proven moisturization benefits to the skin. The phytosterols

lipolytic activity, which inhibits the development of adipose tissue, and thus may help reduce the
signs of cellulite. Product stimulates collagen and elastin production, inhibits matrix
metalloproteinases and provides active bioavailability to skin through a liposomal vehicle.

incorporated into formulations. This ingredient can be modified to be a time-released delivery
system for active ingredients. It is also available with a cationic charge (Jojobasomes +) or with
encapsulated salicylic acid (Jojoba-somes SA).
