Indonesia’s beauty market is projected to hit US$7.8 billion by 2030, yet shoppers are already steering decisions with ingredient checks and social proof rather than brand prestige alone. In 2023, price promotions pushed 51% of consumers to switch brands, while 55% rely on social media recommendations, and 67% use sunscreen at least sometimes.
