Growing Demand for Clean Label in Consumer Products Has Led to Manufacturers Using Patchouli Oil in F&B Products and Consumer Goods

The awareness about clean label products among the millennial population has steadily increased over the past several years. Consumers want to buy goods that they trust. This is the reason that the manufacturers of food and beverages as well as consumer products are shifting towards more organic and natural ingredients in the goods that they produce. The use of natural ingredients such as patchouli oil in products has increased the demand for essential oils in the global market. These natural oils also have medicinal properties, which could be a benefit for manufacturers, as these properties could be included on the labels to increase the overall value of the product that they are manufacturing. This could allow manufacturers to experiment with the average pricing of the goods that include patchouli oil.

Eco-perfumes – A Trend That Has Become Mainstream

Natural ingredients are gently capturing the zeitgeist and gaining traction over synthetic molecules that have dominated for decades. The market has evolved into a greener age, where sustainable resources are vital ingredients, and is the new trend. Evolving into eco-perfumes, it is estimated that, the business has doubled in the last five years (2013 to 2018). A long time back, synthetic ingredients were added in perfumes to replace animal notes that were banished on grounds of cruelty or cost. But the decrease in the use of synthetic perfumes and the use of natural ingredients in perfumes are back in trend. This has now become an increasingly global niche movement by the manufacturers themselves. This has led to the manufacturers using essential oils such as patchouli oil in perfumes that could increase the eco-perfume value. Also, patchouli oil is extracted from plants and not animals, and thus, there is no cruelty involved.
