The Ukrainian cosmetics and perfumery market covers a wide range of products, including perfumes, skin and hair care products, decorative cosmetics, and hygiene products. There are about 1,200 cosmetic manufacturers in Ukraine.

The main region for the export of Ukrainian cosmetic products is Europe (especially Poland, Germany, Moldova, Latvia, Romania). Over the past five years, the share of Ukrainian cosmetics exports to this region has doubled, especially noticeably after the start of the full-scale invasion. Asia is the second largest region for the export of Ukrainian cosmetics. The largest importers of Ukrainian cosmetics in this region are Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan.

Ukrainian brands emphasize natural ingredients. In the composition of cosmetics, you can find herbal and plant extracts, natural oils (for example, sea buckthorn or rosehip), vitamins, antioxidants, etc. Manufacturers are increasingly using environmentally friendly packaging, not testing products on animals, and adhering to the principles of sustainable development.

Ukrainian cosmetic brands are actively implementing innovations and meeting international quality standards. Many companies certify their products according to European standards, which confirms their effectiveness and safety.
