Putting the fun beauty tools aside for a minute, this is a market that only continues to grow, and something our team here at PadillaCRT immerses ourselves in on a daily basis.

Just last year, Global Cosmetic Industry predicted that the U.S. beauty sector would be worth $90 billion by 2020. Even more impressive: that number would represent a nearly 45% gain in just 10 years.
