The beauty and personal care industry is experiencing a surge in popularity, with an anticipated revenue of US$579.20 billion in 2023 and a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.53% over the next five years. Among the diverse range of self-care products in this market, a significant number of consumers are gravitating towards those crafted with natural or organic ingredients. Specifically, more than 65% of consumers are actively seeking environmentally friendly brands, and 55% are willing to invest more in sustainable products.
Capitalizing on this growing trend, Guy Burt, the founder of 5kind, identified an opportunity. Burt was in search of a chemical-free lotion for post-exercise use, devoid of substances like parabens, sulphates, mineral oils, or petrolatum. When he couldn't find a suitable product, he founded 5kind to address this gap in the market.
5kind is a clinical skincare brand with a mission that's as clear as its name: to be kind to your skin, to yourself, and to the planet. They've carved their niche by formulating potent yet gentle products that tap into the power of nature.
