Personal care or toiletries is the industry which manufactures consumer products used for beautification and in personal hygiene.
Personal care includes products as diverse as chapstick, colognes, cotton swabs, deodorant, eye liner, facial tissue, hair clippers, lipstick, lotion, makeup, mouthwash, nail files, perfumes, personal lubricant, razors, shampoo, shaving cream, skin cream, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, to give a few examples.
A few examples of the major corporations in the personal care industry, illustrating the great diversity in the industry, include:* Band-Aid* Clairol* Global Gillette* Johnson & Johnson* Lancôme* Maybelline* Proctor & Gamble* Remington Products
Other corporations, such as pharmacies (e.g. CVS/pharmacy, Walgreens) primarily retail in personal care rather than manufacturing personal care products themselves. |
