Emollients are ingredients in skin care products that help to relieve dryness or irritation. Emollients are widely prescribed by doctors for skin diseases that cause dryness or scaling, such as psoriasis and eczema. A chemical that softens, soothes, and increases moisture levels, particularly in the skin. The industry is being pushed by rising consumer awareness of personal care products. Furthermore, consumer awareness of the harmful effects of chemicals present in skincare, cosmetics, and hair care products has led to a shift towards naturally derived product ingredients, such as animal and plant-derived emollients that are free of chemical modifications, fueling the market growth. Furthermore, online distribution channels and E-commerce are expected to improve personal care product distribution during the anticipated period.

However, with the initial rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government was forced to impose rigorous lockdowns all over the globe, resulting in the entire stoppage of operations in cosmetics and other industries. Emollient demand declined because producers could not continue operations due to disruptions and limits on outdoor mobility.
