Local special circumstances:
In China, the Beauty & Personal Care market is uniquely shaped by a blend of traditional practices and modern influences, with a strong emphasis on herbal ingredients rooted in ancient Chinese medicine.

Global trends towards sustainability and ethical consumption also resonate with Chinese consumers, driving demand for eco-friendly and cruelty-free products.
