Imported cosmetics were an absolute leader in sales in Russia for a long time. However, now the situation has changed. Experts say that about 50% of the total volume is occupied by the Russian cosmetic market now, which is a very good indicator. What is the reason of the increasing usage of Russian cosmetics?

For many Russian manufacturers of cosmetics, the Russian market is the only market, therefore they do their best to provide the best quality products. They can’t lose their only market. The Russian Cosmetic school was originally developed under the influence of the French and German traditions. This trend has survived until now.

Any cosmetic product has a complex composition and includes different ingredients, additives, and preservatives. All of these components are necessary for long-term storage and transportation. Many well-known foreign companies supply high quality raw materials in Russia, as Russian manufacturers simply don’t produce some of these components. Exchange of scientific information between Russian and Western companies continues. In addition, Russian manufacturers add natural, organic high quality raw materials and receive unique cosmetic products.

Prices of Russian cosmetics are usually lower than prices of imported products. Russian manufacturers are not burdened with additional transportation costs, custom fees and other costs that significantly increase the cost of production of foreign companies. Nevertheless, the Russian producers can afford to use high-quality and exclusive packaging for their products.

There are more than five hundred cosmetics manufacturers in Russia. Among these companies are different in scope and range of its activities. Manufacturers of cosmetics in Russia provide products for daily skin care: its nutrition, cleansing, moisturizing and protection. They also develop production of special tools: intensive anti-ageing skin cream, baby cosmetics, professional salon cosmetics, as well as products to treat acne and other skin problems. Another trend in modern cosmetics is interest in natural and organic products. The key to success of the Russian manufacturers of cosmetics are modern production methods and beneficial properties of natural ingredients. Local herbalists have always been famous for their recipes based on natural products that have been adapted to current conditions and successfully used in manufactures of medical cosmetics for face and body.
