The majority of skincare on the market contain high concentrations of water within the formulations. On average products contain 70% of water and this is why water appears as one of the first listed ingredients on the labeling.
Water usually exists in skincare to act as a cheap solvent to dissolve down the active ingredients found within the formulations. However, water-less skincare is becoming more sought after and according to Cosmetics Business named “waterless beauty” as one of their top trends to watch in 2019.
Why Water Free Skincare?
- Formulas with a high concentration of water often require preservatives to prevent microbial growth.
- Water can also dilute the active ingredients in a product, rendering it less effective.
- Water-free products allow for higher concentrations of the active ingredients.
- Water becomes a luxury ingredient. It means the majority of the products price is spent on water content.
- Water Free is more environmental friendly. According to World Widlife Fund by 2025 two-thirds of the world’s population may face water shortages, and leading market research firm, Mintel, has found that 27% of consumers are now trying to reuse or use less water.
