Across the 3 days from 19-21 February, 8,189 visitors and 380 exhibitors came together at the Shanghai New International Expo Center to exchange ideas and technological information to benefit the future of the personal care industry.
As proof that PCHi is a truly global event, the visitors came from 57 countries and territories across the globe, with South Korea, Japan, and Thailand making up the top three international visitor countries. One of the key segments of the show was the comprehensive educational programme, attended by 2,274 delegates in order to expand their knowledge on the latest ingredients, technology and regulatory developments. There was also an array of awards given out to outstanding companies within the personal care industry. The highlights included The China Personal Care & Cosmetics Innovation Awards which gave Symrise Shanghai the Breakthrough Award for SymHair Force 1631, alongside Ashland for Actopontine Biofunctional. Lonza won the moisturising category for ProSynergen DF, while Lipotec took away the Anti-Ageing award with Juvefoxo.
