Health-conscious Consumers Driving Demand for Clean Labels

The health-consciousness consumer is driving the move toward all things natural and free-from. Over half (58%) of global consumers are influenced by a product’s impact on their health and wellness when making a purchase¹. Over half (61%) of parents claim to proactively seek products for their children that contain only natural ingredients². In seeking out more natural products, consumers are becoming more ingredient-aware, and in turn are placing more focus on both the materials and processes used in the formulation of products.  Simply put, consumers want to know what is going into their bodies and want the list of ingredients to be pronounceable and few. This trend has led to a demand for more plant-based ingredients.
