The inflation birthed by COVID-19 pandemic has had a severely negative impact on organic agriculture and organic cosmetic ingredients industry by extension. High costs associated with organic farming have ballooned the prices of organic cosmetic ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter, avocado oil, and others.

However, growing government support for sustainable farming is expected to provide some relief to customers from surging prices helping the industry revert to sustainable business scenario.
