We are all familiar with Western and Korean cosmetics brands such as Lancôme, Maybelline, Innisfree, Etude House and so on. But China also has their own domestic cosmetics brands that are worth checking out! The Chinese cosmetics industry is currently on the rise as the Chinese government continues to offer their support to domestic brands and work to dispel the notion that all foreign brands are superior. Here are some of the most well known cosmetics brands from China, and their best selling products. Let's take a look!
Chando
Chando was established in Shanghai in 2009 and is one of the most successful domestic cosmetics brands in China, with endorsements from the likes of Fan Bingbing and other Chinese celebrities. They operate throughout mainland China and also have retail locations in the USA, Russia and Britain.
Herborist
Herborist was founded in 1988 and is a premium cosmetics brand in China inspired by combining traditional Chinese herbal medicine with more modern skincare technology.
