According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.2 million new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and nearly 325,000 melanoma skin cancer cases were reported globally in 2020, largely linked to excessive ultraviolet radiation exposure.

Growing urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and rising social media influence are further accelerating skincare product adoption globally.
