Now I can hear you saying health and beauty products are not a new product. But they ARE a hot product right now.
Why? Because they are a perfect ‘treat’ product in today’s tricky economy. Consumers may have cut back on expensive spa beauty treatments, hair styling and haute couture clothing but health and beauty products are a way of treating themselves at relatively low cost.
And here’s the proof: A recent report UK Retail In 2012 And Beyond, by market research company Verdict Research, says that health and beauty products are one of just three non food products sectors that are expanding right now.
There are another couple of reasons why health and beauty is a hot product area right now too: While young consumers are often cash strapped older consumers frequently have more to spend – and they are increasingly health and beauty conscious.

Health and beauty products are easy to source and sell, easy to store and easy to ship. You don’t need a lot of capital to get started.
