Industry News
Australia has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world, with over two-thirds of Australian households owning a pet. These pets form an integral part of their owner's lives, and many consider their pets to be family members. As pets become increasingly humanised, households are spending more money on them in the form of premium foods, grooming, dietary supplements and vitamins, pet accessories and treats. During the pandemic, these long-term trends accelerated. Pet ownership boomed in Australia, while rising real household discretionary income contributed to higher spending on premium products. Overall, Industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 3.8% over the five years through 2023-24, to $3.7 billion.

From The Lab
Surfactants, surface-active-agents, are a group of chemicals that have various roles in many different types of formulations, but perhaps the most common function is that of a detergent or cleaning agent in industrial institutions, households and personal care products. For a long time, sulfates have been the widely used surfactants in as they are economical and easy to formulate with. They also offer high levels of foam, which is often what consumers look for as a sign of cleanliness. However, if you do have concerns about using sulfates in your formulation, Botany also offers other surfactants such as alkyl polyglucosides and amino acid-based surfactants. These surfactants are more naturally derived and are generally considered mild, gentle cleansers – some are even approved for use in COSMOS certified products.

Hemp seed oil has become increasingly popular. It is high in omega acids 3, 6 and 9, all of which may help strengthen the skin barrier and form a seal over the skin to keep moisture trapped inside.
