Lip Care Products Market Share

Sun protection lip care products are used on the skin to safeguard against dangerous ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays. They counteract the harmful effects of constant exposure to the sun, like early signs of tanning, aging, sunburn, wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation. Such products are made using ingredients like benzophenone and avobenzone, which create a barrier and prevent UV-rays from damaging the skin. The effectiveness of a sun care product depends on its Sun Protection Factor (SPF), a scientific indicator that corresponds with how long the consumer can remain in the sun without causing serious damage to the skin.

It is expected that increased awareness about the benefits of using lips and skincare products would continue to drive demand. Rising air pollution levels, fluctuating climatic conditions, and toxic gas emissions from vehicle exhaust include carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and soot, adversely affecting the skin of the lip. Such factors play a crucial role in extending the array of lip care products, which in turn is expected to drive growth in the industry.
