Science, market forces, challenges and opportunities in the spotlight in Anti-Aging forum
Euromonitor International estimated the value of beauty supplements to be $2.9 billion in 2015, with the US market valued at $76 million.
The category is dominated by products formulated with collagen, antioxidants, biotin, omega-3s, and some botanical extracts, but how substantial is the science to support the potential effects? How do brands manage consumer expectations when seeing is believing? And what lessons can we learn from more established beauty-from-within markets like Japan?
In this one hour forum, NutraIngredients-USA will get answers to these questions and more.
