If you are into beauty brands, then you'll enjoy these 10 beauty products you can get for free.

Thanks to money and fashion writer, Alaya Linton, there are a number of premium beauty brands that offer free samples of their products. And who wouldn't want to get a boost in some of their hair and beauty products and without breaking the bank. Samples and freebies are a great way to do it because you can try new products without the commitment.

Hair care industry is growing by the billions

Let's first start out with the hair care industry. According to a Mordor Intelligence report, the hair care market in the United States leads in generating revenue around the globe. And it isn't stopping. In 2023, the hair care market was estimated to be worth $16.17 billion and in 2024, it is projected to generate $13.6 billion in revenue.

And just what's driving most of the growth? After COVID-19, many consumers were dealing with stress. That stress caused hair loss so some consumers were in the market for anti-hair loss or hair-thickening products. There has been a surge of hair care products like hairstyling, hair regrowth and hair colorants, too. And hair experts say more consumers are conscious about healthy hair so the demand for sustainable, chemical-free, and eco-friendly products has increased. And finally, it's the youth who are more conscious and aware of different hair care offerings.

Being beautiful is big business

The beauty and personal care industry is a $93 billion industry (2024) in the United States, that from the Mordor Intelligence report. The U.S. leads the way when it comes to 'Personal care'. In fact, the report indicates it is the millennials who are driving this market. Both beauty and personal care items include deodorants, skin care products, grooming, perfumes and cosmetics. The report found that the daily use of these products are necessary as consumers care more about their physical appearance. Many are going to the gym and fitness centers so there is an increased demand for personal care products.
