Astringents are agents that cause tissues in the body to contract or tighten, commonly used to control bleeding from minor cuts or to reduce excess oil on the skin. They function by causing proteins on the surface of the skin or mucous membranes to precipitate, which leads to tissue shrinkage and decreased secretions.
The primary categories of astringents include thrombin-based, oxidized regenerated cellulose-based, combination, gelatin-based, and collagen-based types. Thrombin-based astringents are medical products that contain the enzyme thrombin, which promotes rapid blood clotting at bleeding sites. These astringents come in various forms, including natural and synthetic products, and are distributed through channels such as online retailers, supermarkets or hypermarkets, specialty stores, and others. They are used in applications like skin care, oral care, hair care, and cosmetics, serving a wide range of end users including personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industry sectors.

The astringents market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.42 billion in 2024 to $3.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for natural and organic products, growth in the beauty and personal care sector, higher usage of face toners, broadening distribution networks, and the impact of social media and influencers.
The astringents market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The expected growth in the forecast period is driven by heightened consumer awareness of skin health, a rise in skin disorders and related issues, growing interest in DIY skincare, increasing demand for personalized skincare solutions, and ongoing urbanization and lifestyle shifts. Key trends during this time include advancements in production technology, the development of polyphenol-enriched formulations, product diversification, the emergence of alcohol-free formulations, innovation in astringent products, and collaborations across different industries.
The increasing demand for skincare and personal care products is expected to drive the growth of the astringents market in the coming years. Skincare and personal care products encompass a wide range of items used to cleanse, protect, and improve the appearance and health of the skin, hair, and body. This demand is rising as consumers place greater importance on self-care and personal appearance, leading to heightened interest in products that promote healthier skin and overall wellness. Astringents play a key role in skincare and personal care by tightening the skin, reducing oiliness, and minimizing pore visibility, making them particularly useful for people with oily or acne-prone skin. For example, in August 2024, the British Beauty Council, a UK-based nonprofit organization, reported that in 2023, the personal care industry contributed nearly half of its total gross domestic product (GDP) impact, amounting to 13.5 billion British pounds (GBP), which equals 0.5% of the United Kingdom's total GDP, out of a total industry contribution of 17.1 billion US dollars. Consequently, the rising demand for skincare and personal care products is fueling the growth of the astringents market.
Leading companies in the astringents market are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as plant-based skincare formulations, to cater to the increasing consumer preference for natural, gentle, and environmentally friendly products. Plant-based skincare formulations utilize natural ingredients derived from plants, including herbs, oils, and botanical extracts, to gently nourish and treat the skin without the use of synthetic chemicals. For instance, in September 2022, Green Goo, a U.S.-based manufacturer and supplier of body care products, launched its Plants for Your Face & Body skincare line, which consists of all-natural, plant-based products aimed at addressing skin issues like acne, eczema, sun damage, wrinkles, and dryness. Using a proprietary lipid infusion process, these products combine healing herbs and whole-plant botanicals with organic oils to enhance nourishment and effectiveness. The collection features hydrating serums, eye sticks, and spot treatments, many of which include natural astringent ingredients such as juniper and witch hazel that help tighten pores and reduce inflammation.
In August 2023, L'Oreal S.A., a France-based personal care company, acquired Aesop for an undisclosed sum.

This move also reinforces L'Oreal's commitment to sustainability and its focus on the premium natural skincare segment. Aesop is an Australia-based luxury cosmetics brand specializing in skincare, haircare, and fragrance products, including astringents.
