Care Global at PCHi 2025 in Guangzhou, Dr. Li Huiliang (pictured) highlighted opportunities for foreign companies to enter or collaborate in the Chinese market. Dr. Li noted that many key
ingredients in C-beauty products, such as oils, preservatives, emulsfiers and surfactants, are imported. Dr. Li, who is chairman of PCHi’s
Cosmetics Science and Technology Innovation Committee, said Chinese brands are innovating in personal care but there are gaps in the market. For example, he said, there are
not many mature product lines for personal care in China, which presents an opportunity for new launches. C-beauty is booming, he added, in part due to consumers looking for products that deliver results. Florasis is a luxury C-beauty
brand based in Hangzhou, blends traditional Chinese aesthetics and beauty rituals with modern technology to create high-quality makeup and skin care. It is aiming for global expansion and a unique brand experience, especially emphasizing the cultural heritage in its products. Brands incorporate Chinese
cultural elements—such as embroidery and calligraphy—into packaging and branding to add depth. Florasis is working on a new
personal care line designed to enhance “radiance” and “good chi,” added Dr. Li, reflecting Eastern beauty ideals. The brand incorporates
explained traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ingredients in carefully balanced combinations to achieve results such as radiance, skin whitening, and anti-ageing. Dr. Li shared that his company
has already developed a formula and completed safety testing, and they are awaiting patent approval.
