The study is representative of the U.S. population based on geography, gender, age, race, and income. The skin care data on positioning statements is based on over 2,500 new health, beauty, and wellness items presented to HRG during 2018. HRG also researched its master database of health, beauty, and wellness products to discover which beauty products had made a natural or free-from claim and/or a responsible behavior claim.
