Stay ahead of the curve in the US Clean Beauty Industry with Mintel’s in-depth market report. This report examines consumer usage, definitions and attitudes toward “clean” personal care and beauty products.
Key Issues Covered in this Report
- How consumers define “clean beauty”.
- What types of “clean” beauty and personal care products are used and priority sub-categories when purchasing “clean”.
- Attributes that build consumer trust in a beauty and personal care brand.
- Where consumers look for information on “clean” products.
- Where consumers are buying “clean” beauty and personal care products.
- Attitudes and behaviors toward beauty and personal care with emphasis on changes in product usage, sustainability and safety perceptions.
What’s Happening in the US Clean Beauty Industry?
A majority of adults are turning toward the “clean beauty” category more so than years prior. While there is no set definition for “clean beauty”, over half of consumers define “clean” as products created with the use of non-toxic ingredients. Nonetheless, consumers ultimately choose products that reflect their own values and definitions of “clean”, with the help of third-party credentials and retailer merchandising.
- US clean beauty consumer habits: 93% US consumers have used any “clean” personal care products in the past 12 months.
Even as “clean” and eco-friendly attributes remain important to adults, these non-functional attributes don’t necessarily drive efficacy; brands must showcase effectiveness in tandem with value-driven “clean” claims to warrant long-term use and build trust.

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon
We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
