Cosmetics are basically products used or applied to beautify and enhance one’s appearance. They are fundamentally mixtures of chemical compounds, either derived naturally or synthetized. Haircare products, color cosmetics, fragrances, and personal care products are some of the cosmetic products majorly used by individuals. 

In the recent years, the Chinese mainland is witnessing a fast growth rate in the cosmetics sector alongside rapid development of Chinese economy. It is one of the fastest growing and dynamic market in the world. Several cosmetics brands have collaborated with TV celebrities, beauty bloggers, and advertising in entertainment events to boost the sales of these products. The local brands in China offer low-to-mid priced cosmetic products to the consumers, whereas the foreign players cater the high-end segment. Nonetheless, to achieve sales growth, the domestic players have initiated the use of traditional Chinese medicine concepts along with the natural extraction methods to enhance their cosmetic product giving tough competition to the international brands. 

The rapid growth in consumer spending with tremendous economic development in China over the decades has increased the use of cosmetics for residents in the urban as well as rural areas.
