Beyond Beauty: The Changing Face of Personal Care in Indonesia
The personal care market in Indonesia is undergoing a significant transformation, with consumers becoming increasingly mindful of the products they choose. According to a recent study conducted by Cimigo, which involved 300+ respondents, consumers in Indonesia are demonstrating heightened concern for sustainability, natural ingredients, and products tailored to their individual needs.
A notable 67% of Indonesians now prioritise personal care products that are free from harmful chemicals, such as microbeads and parabens. Brands can capitalise on this growing demand by being transparent about their ingredients and demonstrating their commitment to delivering safe, natural solutions.
It is no longer sufficient for a product to simply perform well—it must also align with consumers’ ethical values. Our data indicate that 58% of Indonesians prefer cruelty-free personal care brands. This shift highlights a growing demand for brands with strong ethical practices, presenting an opportunity to connect with a conscientious, values-driven audience.
Sustainability is no longer a buzzword—it is becoming a key factor in consumer decision-making. While 39% of Indonesians still continue to dispose of packaging in the trash, 61% now opt to recycle or adopt eco-friendly practices, signalling a clear shift towards more environmentally responsible behaviour.
Furthermore, 61% of respondents actively seek products with recyclable packaging, and 45% are considering switching to products that offer refillable packaging solutions. Brands that prioritise sustainability, whether through eco-friendly packaging or innovative approaches like refill stations-will not only attract attention but also foster long-term loyalty among eco-conscious consumers.
For consumers who choose personal care products based on environmental considerations, finding products that prioritise both skin health and sustainability is a key concern. The primary reasons for selecting eco-friendly personal care products are their perceived benefits: they are better for skin health (48%), help protect the environment (48%), and support brands committed to sustainability (28%).
This trend presents a valuable branding opportunity—brands that actively demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and ethical practices can deeply resonate with environmentally conscious consumers.
Personalisation also plays a crucial role, with consumers increasingly seek products that address their unique skin concerns. Brands that provide tailored solutions, coupled with sustainable packaging, are well-positioned to foster long-term consumer loyalty and enhance their brand reputation.
As we examine the current personal care landscape in Indonesia, it is evident that the future lies at the intersection of personalisation, sustainability, and ethical practices. Consumers are no longer passive; they are actively seeking brands that align with their values, prioritise their health, and demonstrate care for the planet.
The bottom line? In Indonesia, personal care has evolved beyond beauty—it is about making conscious choices for oneself and the world at large. The brands that succeed will be those that truly understand this shift and take meaningful action to address it.
