China's cosmetics and cosmetic raw materials industry has transitioned from basic care to efficacy customization, driven by evolving consumer preferences and technological innovation. In the 1980s and 1990s, the industry primarily used basic raw materials such as mineral oils and synthetic surfactants, focusing on fundamental functions like cleansing and moisturizing. Challenges included a narrow range of raw materials, homogeneous efficacy, and lax safety standards. Typical products included ordinary vanishing cream and soap, with raw material compliance relying on simple component screening.

Since the turn of the century, consumer demand has shifted towards natural ingredients, efficacy, and safety. This, combined with stricter policies, has driven the industry's transformation toward raw material upgradation, efficacy segmentation, and compliance control. Natural plant extracts, bio-fermented raw materials, and functional mineral raw materials are rapidly replacing traditional synthetic ingredients. Efficacy-segmented products for anti-aging, whitening, and sensitive skin repair have been developed, enabling breakthroughs in high-end skincare, color cosmetics, and cosmeceuticals.

In recent years, the rise of "ingredient-focused" consumers and the integration of beauty technology have driven further demand. Coupled with the evolution of relevant standards, the industry is accelerating its upgrade toward raw material traceability, demonstrable efficacy, and full-chain compliance. Today, China is the world's second-largest cosmetic consumer market. Products cover all categories including skincare, color cosmetics, hair care, and fragrances. The raw material system encompasses nearly ten thousand items including natural extracts, synthetic chemicals, bio-fermentates, and functional minerals, widely used in daily care, cosmetic enhancement, and special care applications.

We have set up a dedicated product and raw material testing team. Based on product type and raw material attribute (plant extract, mineral raw material, chemical raw material), we provide customized testing services—including safety testing (banned/restricted ingredients)—helping products build advantages in safety compliance and efficacy innovation.
