and Expert Formulation Support
Begins in Shanghai
|

China's beauty market is rapidly evolving, driven by increasing demand for proven
efficacy and product differentiation. While brands are actively seeking innovative
global ingredients, achieving true market success requires more than advanced
materials. It also demands compliance with China's CSAR (China Safety Assessment
Report) regulations and a thorough understanding of local formulation requirements.
To meet these evolving market needs, Sunjin Beauty Science, a global leader in
cosmetic ingredients, has established its Shanghai R&D Center.
Led by Younghee Kim, whose extensive experience at Bioland and COSMAX China
has
given him deep insight into the Chinese cosmetics market, the center is dedicated to
delivering tailored ingredient and formulation solutions designed specifically for
China.
Discover how Sunjin Beauty Science's China-focused ingredient and
formulation
solutions can help accelerate your success in one of the world's most dynamic beauty
markets

Q1.
Congratulations on your appointment as the new Head of the Shanghai R&D
Center. Could you introduce yourself and share a few words with our local
partners?
Hello, I am Younghee Kim, the newly appointed Head of Sunjin Beauty
Science's Shanghai R&D Center.Throughout my career at Bioland and COSMAX
China, I have gained extensive hands-on experience in ingredient
development, formulation trends, and the regulatory landscape of the Chinese
cosmetics market.
I am delighted to combine my local expertise with Sunjin Beauty Science's
global ingredient portfolio to provide greater value to our partners in
China. I look forward to working closely with you not simply as an
ingredient supplier, but as a trusted partner throughout your formulation
and product development journey

Q2.
What inspired Sunjin Beauty Science to establish an R&D Center in China at
this point, and what role will it play?
China's beauty industry has entered a new stage where demand for clinically
proven, high-performance ingredients is growing rapidly. At the same time,
regulatory requirements such as CSAR have become increasingly complex,
making it difficult to respond quickly through remote communication with our
headquarters alone.
The Shanghai R&D Center is much more than a local sales office. It serves as
a technical collaboration hub, providing comprehensive support ranging from
ingredient application and formulation optimization to addressing technical
and regulatory challenges arising from differences between the Chinese and
Korean markets.Our mission is to develop localized solutions that help our
customers succeed in China's highly competitive beauty industry.

Q3.
There are already many ingredient suppliers and research institutes in China.
What makes Sunjin's Shanghai R&D Center different?
Our greatest strength lies in the fact that we provide both innovative
ingredients and formulation expertise.While many suppliers focus primarily
on selling raw materials, Sunjin Beauty Science offers an integrated
solution backed by our proprietary portfolio of inorganic materials, UV
filters, and functional cosmetic ingredients, together with practical
formulation consulting to accelerate commercialization.
In addition, our
close collaboration between the R&D teams in Korea and Shanghai allows us to
combine global innovation with local regulatory knowledge and formulation
expertise, enabling us to satisfy both international trends and the unique
demands of the Chinese market.

Q4.
What are the biggest challenges Chinese beauty brands face during product
development, and how does Sunjin plan to support them?
From our experience, Chinese brands commonly face three major
challenges:Understanding increasingly complex regulations such as
CSAR.Verifying the compatibility of innovative global ingredients with local
formulations.Overcoming technical communication barriers with ingredient
suppliers.
The Shanghai R&D Center has established a comprehensive support
system to address all three challenges. Formulation compatibility can be
evaluated locally, while our technical specialists—who understand both
Korean and Chinese formulation practices—provide efficient communication and
practical technical support throughout the development process.

Q5.
Many Chinese companies are frustrated by slow overseas communication. How is
your real-time technical support system organized?
The Shanghai R&D Center is designed as a fully functional technical
decision-making organization, not merely a communication office.Our local
team provides real-time support through WeChat, responding directly to
formulation inquiries, sample requests, and technical documentation. At the
same time, we maintain a close collaboration with our headquarters' R&D
team, allowing complex technical issues to be escalated immediately and
resolved quickly.Our goal is for customers to experience Sunjin Beauty
Science not as a distant overseas supplier, but as a reliable technical
partner right beside them.

The Chinese cosmetics market has entered a new era where high-quality ingredients alone
are no longer enough to create a competitive advantage. Success today requires a
thorough understanding of local regulations, the ability to develop formulations that
meet the preferences of Chinese consumers, and strong technical support to accelerate
product commercialization.
The Sunjin Beauty Science Shanghai R&D Center is committed to
becoming a trusted partner for both formulation developers and brand owners, opening the
door to new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.If you are looking for
localized formulation consulting or would like to discuss your strategy for entering or
expanding in the Chinese market, we invite you to contact the Shanghai R&D Center today.
