Skin Sensitivity Affects Millions Globally, Driving Demand for Natural Skincare
Skin sensitivity and related conditions are global health concerns, affecting millions worldwide. From psoriasis and eczema to rosacea and sensitive skin syndrome, these issues impact not only physical health but also mental well-being and social-economic factors.
Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is particularly prevalent, with up to 20% of children under 7 and 3% of adults affected. This creates a significant social and economic burden. Similarly, sensitive skin syndrome is widespread, impacting 43% of French women and 32% of UK men. Rosacea, another common condition, affects a staggering 415 million people globally, presenting as erythema and flushing, and may burn with certain products.
Psoriasis, which affects 125 million people worldwide, has no cure and often leads to mental health issues. The United States and parts of Europe, including the UK with a prevalence of 1.3% to 2.2%, have the highest psoriasis rates. Latin America reports prevalence rates of 1.27% to 1.56%, but no single country is identified as the highest prevalence country.
Cosmetics, climate changes, and skin barrier impairment are key contributors to skin lesions and sensitivity. The global prevalence of skin pathology issues is high, given that skin is the largest organ and many people experience these issues.
Skin sensitivity and related conditions are global concerns that significantly impact individuals' lives. As such, positive messaging and emotional benefits are increasingly used by beauty and skin care brands to promote confidence. Natural, organic, and paraben-free products are preferred for sensitive skin. Ultimately, confidence in one's skin is more important than having perfect skin, with 70% of UK people affected by visible skin conditions or scars.
