Using these products as sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays in sunlight and provides a soothing experience. Consumers are inclined more towards natural beauty products by their long-lasting and irritation-free experience. These products suit all skin types and provide better coverage, ultimately gaining huge popularity worldwide.

The increasing concerns about synthetic chemicals in cosmetics are shifting consumer preferences toward natural variants. This, along with the rising consciousness among individuals about personal appearance, acts as a major factor promoting the global mineral cosmetics market growth. Apart from this, as the light texture of mineral cosmetics makes them suitable for everyday use and assists in keeping them on the skin for a long time, they are gaining preferences over other makeup variants.

The global market is majorly driven by the increasing preference of the masses toward natural and organic cosmetic products. Coupled with the rising concerns regarding the environmental impact of artificial ingredients and harmful effects of synthetic chemicals in cosmetics, this is providing an impetus to market growth. Moreover, the increasing consciousness regarding maintaining an aesthetic physical appearance among individuals and the widespread popularity of social media platforms on the global level are also acting as major growth-inducing factors.
