Chemical Revolt

Rebelling against brands, consumers opt to create natural products at home

Implications - While the price of personal care items isn't exceedingly high, the number of chemicals used to create them is, which is a contributing factor as to why DIY cosmetics are becoming more widespread across North America. Able to naturally customize and create only what they'll use, DIY sundries mark a shift towards penny-pinching consumers who also have particular tastes that prefer their own product made just the way they like it.
