-- Sweet flavours dominate the cosmeceuticals market, particularly fruits and natural flavours. All of the top 15 flavours are sweet and nine of those are fruits.

-- The US has highest spend per capita for both cosmeceutical personal care products and nutraceuticals. The US nutraceuticals market was worth US $21.3bn in 2006 indicating significant cosmeceutical growth opportunities.

Key issues examined in this report...

-- Natural and organic. Consumers are increasingly opting for more natural, fresh and organic products, so it is not surprising that this 'natural' interest has shifted into health and beauty foods and cosmetics. Despite the growing organic food and drink market there still remains a gap in the market for organic cosmeceuticals.

-- Convenience. Convenience in cosmeceuticals relates to usability, for instance a series of single serve 'skincare' salad dressings were introduced to the Japanese foodservice market at the end of 2005.

-- Indulgence. There is a growing trend towards healthy indulgence products to appeal to females with a sweet tooth. An example is Ecco Bella's Health by Chocolate Instant Bliss Beauty Bar for beautiful skin.

-- Changes in the gender divide. Male products are starting to represent a significant share of sales in personal care products but there is a long way to go before they rival female products.

P&G highlighted the market's potential value with its acquisition of Gillette in 2005, its biggest ever.
