Web sales of health and beauty products grew by 18% in 2016, as more consumers shop online for these products.. Ulta Beauty posted another big year in e-commerce with $345.3 million in sales—selling more online in the fourth quarter than it did in all of 2014 combined—and executives attributed this 56% jump for the fiscal year, in part, to a shift in mobile traffic. Ulta, among other big beauty players, has added virtual makeover features to its apps that allow shoppers to see how products look before they buy them.
