During my business trip in Beijing end of November 2017 I had a chance to discuss the Chinese market for imported cosmetics with a good friend and an absolute market specialist Mrs. Hellen Li Liu. She is the editor in chief of China Cosmetic Review, a well-known magazine for cosmetics and supply industry. She has more than 20 years of industrial experiences.

We met each other through a project and became friends. Every time when I’m in Beijing we have dinner together and exchange market information. I’m very impressed by her experience and market insight. This time during our dinner in a busy restaurant in Beijing I decided to do a spontaneous interview with her.

More than 18 Mio babies were born since the establishment of the “two-children policy” in China end of 2015. The market for health products for babies is booming. Many parents trust imported products due to expected higher product safety. The market for high quality skin care products for babies and young kids increases considerably. On the other hand the registration for baby skin care products is very complex. Every year there are not more than a hand full brands which can get their products registered. Even we had to learn our lesson once several years ago. Since then we’ve being investing a lot in trainings and have helped a number of brands with product registration for their baby skin care products. We are glad to see these brands thriving on the Chinese market, almost immediately after getting the product registrations.
