The Benchmarking Company Found that Consumers Demand Proof!*

85% of all consumers surveyed notice beauty or cosmetic claims in brand advertising or on packaging.

The top three factors women look for in a claim:

  • 93% are influenced by claims made by a panel of women who have a similar skin care concern
  • 91% are influenced by claims made by a panel of women their own age
  • 78% are influenced by claims made by a panel of women of their own ethnicity

More Consumer Claims = More Buying

91% of women say consumer claims are important to them when considering the purchase of a high cost, prestige beauty product.

7 out of 10 women state that consumer and clinical claims are influential in their decision to buy any beauty product.
