Hangzhou, China. Under the theme “The Soul and Science of Beauty”, Evonik will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of innovative, sustainable solutions along with the refreshed visual identity of its Beauty & Personal Care business at PCHi 2026. Leveraging cutting-edge biotechnology, deep formulation expertise and proven claim substantiation, the portfolio includes active and functional ingredients, advanced delivery systems for skin care, sun care, color cosmetics, hair care, and skin cleansing, as well as offerings for household cleaning, air care and car care applications.
As China, the world’s second-largest cosmetics market, experiences rapid growth and intensifying competition, Evonik is expanding its range of locally developed and manufactured products to help customers stand out and meet evolving consumer expectations. These China‑focused innovations will be a major highlight at PCHi 2026. In parallel, the company continues to invest in advanced innovation capabilities. A key milestone is the new Asia Beauty Science & Innovation Center in Shanghai, scheduled to open in 2026. The facility will accelerate the development of next-generation cosmetic solutions and enable more agile, customized services for customers in China and across Asia.
“At our booth, customers will not only discover our refreshed visual world and latest technological breakthroughs, but also experience our strong commitment to the local industry,” says Alix Chen, general manager of Evonik’s Care Solutions in Greater China region. “As a holistic, sustainable solutions provider in the market, we aim to be deeply rooted in the region and empower brands to confidently create eco-friendly products that enhance consumer health and well-being.”
Key innovation highlights at PCHi 2026 include
- Creating inclusive beauty for over 30 years: Evonik has been a pioneer in skin-identical ceramides for personal care since 1994, delivering truly inclusive solutions for every skin and hair type worldwide. Building on this strong legacy, SPHINOX® Vively will make its global debut at Evonik’s booth on the morning of March 18. This breakthrough integrates modern skincare innovation with sustainable biotechnology, underscoring Evonik’s long-standing commitment to ceramide excellence.
- Exploring the future of beauty with precision: The cutting-edge “Cosmetic Drone” X50 NeoSyno-Col® is designed to address early signs of aging with unparalleled precision. By directing two powerful peptides specifically to fibroblasts, it boosts skin elasticity, firmness, and density, resulting in visible dermal rejuvenation. Evonik’s Cosmetic Drone® technology offers a customizable delivery system platform for brands seeking exclusive, high-efficacy, future‑oriented solutions for their consumers.
- Redefining the beauty of cleaning with biotechnology: As the first company worldwide to achieve industrial-scale production of rhamnolipid biosurfactants, Evonik offers a biosurfactant portfolio including RHEANCE® One and SOPHANCE® LA-A for personal care, and REWOFERM® series for household cleaners and detergents. These fully biodegradable glycolipids deliver exceptional foaming and cleaning performance and are already featured in multiple end-products launched in China. Beyond technological innovation, Evonik spearheaded the development of the world’s first group standard for rhamnolipids. Released in China last year, this milestone closes a critical gap in global standards and propels the cleaning industry into a new era of “Performance × Sustainability.”
- Empowering beauty that fits local consumers: Evonik delivers locally driven solutions to meet regional needs and create beauty that truly fits. Based on its naturally derived polyglyceryl ester platform, symbio®pure G3E1 MB emulsifier and symbio®pure G3C2 MB solubilizer provide gentle, natural, and sensitive-skin-friendly options for makeup removers. Shortlisted for the PCHi 2026 Fountain Award in the Emulsifying/Stabilizing category, symbio®muls Aquasoft MB, sourced from rice bran, is specially designed for the unique characteristics of Chinese skin, offering an optimal balance of watery-light sensory, naturalness, and performance. In household care, Evonik introduces REWOQUAT® CQ ALtra, a next‑generation degreasing agent to tackle stubborn grease commonly found in Chinese kitchens. It delivers superior cleaning power while ensuring a safer and more convenient user experience.
