Market Dynamics

The increasing prevalence of skin-related disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and age-related skin conditions, has significantly boosted the demand for therapeutic and cosmetic formulations containing effective emollients, with dermatologists and healthcare professional’s increasingly recommending emollient-rich products for skin barrier repair and maintenance.
