&#xa0;India has been a big market for cosmetic, beauty and personal health care products. According to a study words like 'natural', 'organic', 'botanical', 'free from' some harsh chemical, and even 'religious compliance' helps in the sale of products. 
 According to a survey carried out by research firm <keyword id="365383" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Euromonitor">Euromonitor</keyword>, says that over half of Indian consumers reported 'natural or organic' features influencing hair and skin care purchase decisions. 
 
71% of the consumers feel that a face cream or lotion will be chosen by them if it claims to be natural, 38% said that they would buy hair products if it had botanical ingredients. Religious aspects will be also be taken into consideration by 17%.&#xa0; 
 "Time-pressed consumers are seeking convenience in beauty and personal care routines and are aware of damaging effects of harsh chemicals. This has spurred demand for natural beauty and personal care products as a safer alternative. In a market like India where herbal and ayurvedic hair and skin care has a legacy of usage (for example, henna, bhringraj or brahmi oil, or herbal face packs), awareness and benefits of herbal or botanical ingredients are high," <keyword id="332696" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Euromonitor-International">Euromonitor International</keyword> survey analyst <keyword id="3704149" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="priyanka-bagde">Priyanka Bagde</keyword> told ET.

 "Millennial consumers are leading the trend - they are increasingly seeking the natural, untouched, un-made-up look from their beauty care products. As they become savvier about 'green' choices, we are seeing a marked shift in preferences in favour of natural products," Praveen Jaipuriar, marketing head-personal care of <keyword id="62997" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dabur">Dabur</keyword>, maker of <keyword id="4710578" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vatika">Vatika</keyword> shampoo and <keyword id="63066" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fem">Fem</keyword> bleach told ET.
