Subsectors
Subsectors of personal care include cosmetics and feminine hygiene.

Products
Personal care includes products as diverse as chapstick, cleansing pads and wipes, colognes, cotton swabs, deodorant, eye liner, facial tissue, hair clippers, lip gloss, lipstick, lotion, makeup, mouthwash, nail files, pomade, perfumes, personal lubricant, razors, shampoo, talcum powder, shaving cream, skin cream, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, to give a few examples.
