Introduction

The organic sector, little by little, begins to win the interest of Australians. If in the food the demand for these natural items already registers a considerable growth - 25% compared to 2013 - and the category has a regulation in force, in the cosmetics sector the advances have not yet reached this degree of maturity. In addition to competing with major traditional brands in the field, organic beauty products do not have specific legislation or registration. Nevertheless, the number of companies that are willing to act in order to cause less impact on the environment and to use the term "natural" has increased.

According to a study by Organic Monitor, the organic cosmetics industry moves around $ 9 billion worldwide, representing 2% of the total market. Opportunities for this niche are large and the outlets are receptive in both the digital environment, such as in physical stores, supermarkets or large pharmaceutical networks.

Bibliographic research:

Elaborated from material already published, such as books, articles, periodicals and Internet.

• IBISWorld's market research report on the cosmetics and hygiene products market provided industry-leading analysis and research on the market at the national level.

• The relevant industry body in Australia is the Direct Selling Association of Australia (DSAA). In 2011, it was estimated that more than 90.5 million people are now involved in the industry globally, creating retail sales above AUD $ 147 billion annually. Here in Australia, sales of DSAA members reached AUD $ 1.4 billion annually, and more than 400,000 Australians are involved in the industry.

These self-employed sales people make about two million home visits per month and average sales of $ 2,200 per year. Women account for more than 81% of the total salesperson and 4.6% choose to work full time in the industry. The Australian direct sales industry has achieved a major success in complementary area medicines with an estimated market share of 20% of annual domestic sales. Industry also has a significant (15%) Australian market for skin care (creams and lotions).
