Shower gel or shower cream is the general term for a substance similar to liquid soap, which is used for cleaning oneself during a shower. Most commercial shower gels do not contain any saponified oil however, instead being products of petroleum. Some popular brands include Fa, Palmolive, Axe, Radox, Nivea, Johnson, Senses, Adidas and Right Guard with LYNX being one of the most popular. Shower gel is available in different colors and scents. Practically all shower gels on the market today are pH-balanced. Some shower gels are herb-infused, and some offer aromatherapeutic benefits.
Function and Luxury Highlight Category
The Bath and Body Market continues to show resilience in recent times and has demonstrated its ability to ride the tide of consumer demand with functional products, including hand sanitizers, as well as designer-driven fragranced body products. Luxurious, functional body serums, like Donna Karan's Ultimate Cashmere Sculpting and Firming Body Serum, as well as multi-use oils, including Sensorielle, the luxurious, polysensory oil from Lierac, which softens skin and hair with white flowers and botanical oils, have contributed to the category's mission, as well as mystique.
According to Euromonitor, the Global Bath & Shower market reached $33.7 billion in 2010, and $5.3 billion in the USA, registering a significant 6% growth rate in 2009. In addition, said Euromonitor, bath and shower products continued to be key growth drivers in emerging regions, such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, posting value growth rates of 20% and 15%, respectively. Brazil is the primary growth driver of bath and shower in Latin America, recording value growth of 26% in 2009, making it the best performing category within beauty and personal care.
Liquid soap, which also includes hand sanitizers, also performed well, posting an increase of 33% in current value terms in 2009, said Euromonitor, which noted the result was largely due to the high number of confirmed cases of swine flu in Brazil at the time. Liquid soap sales are still strong in 2011, due to consumers' health and hygiene concerns, the continuing presence of hand sanitizers in offices, restaurants, retail counters, and handbags. Further, despite bar soap still accounting for the majority of sales, with an approximate 82% value share in 2009, recent years have shown body wash and shower gel products have gained share from traditional soap, mainly due to the convenience trend, as well as stronger advertising from Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive, says Euromonitor.
In addition, naturally positioned bath and shower products continue to move into the mainstream, with many displaying free-from claims and sustainable positioning, as well as some, including one company from Germany which launched a line of bath and shower products called "Stop the Water While Using Me," to remind people to turn off the tap when using the product in order to help the environment. The future stage appears to be set for value-added body washes and shower gels as consumers continue to respond to recent product innovations, and, says Euromonitor, consumers are likely to continue buying branded over private label products, as long as brand manufacturers are prepared to compete on price with private label lines.
