According to the report, vegan beauty products for skin care are likely to witness impressive sales in 2019 and beyond, with global sales estimated to exceed US$ 1000 Mn in 2019. As skin care products remain the key requisites for an effective personal grooming regimen, demand for vegan beauty products for skin care will continue to witness an unwavering rise.
