Chinas Top Execs Share What Beautys Next Chapter Looks Like

Following Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, four C-beauty companies reveal which market and consumer trends are set to drive real change in 2026. China is far from just a consumer market.

From advanced R&D to social-first storytelling, the country is exporting new consumption mindsets, product ideas, and content models, becoming a louder voice in the global beauty conversation. Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna was proof of this.

At this year’s event, held in March, Chinese beauty brands weren’t just showcasing products; they were highlighting R&D achievements, unpacking Chinese consumer trends, and laying the foundation for stronger global cooperation. Skincare giant Proya Cosmetics made its debut at the trade fair, presenting its R&D logic across functional skincare, oriental aesthetic makeup, and scalp care.
