Two products from Symrise were recognized in this year’s PCHi Innovation Award selection honouring the innovative products and technologies that drive development in the personal care and cosmetics industry in China: SymWhite® 377 received a PCHi award for its skin brightening properties, and Sym3DTM convinced with its ability to help rebuild lip volume.

According to Symrise, SymWhite® 377 provides visible brightening effects in 28 days. Beyond this, it has just recently received approval from the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for use in cosmetic formulations.

The other awarded product, Sym3DTM, won in the active ingredient category. Sym3DTM works directly on the lips to recreate a youthful, curved shape and on the face to reduce wrinkles.

The jury consisted of recognized experts from China’s authoritative associations, such as the China Association of Fragrance, Flavor and Cosmetic Industries (CAFFCI), Universities and research institutes.

That we have won two awards during this year’s PCHi shows that we do understand what matters to our customers and the consumers in the region. This makes us very proud and encourages us to continue our search for ingredients that help create products that meet the preferences of the local market”, said Chung Sin Wong, Vice President Symrise Life Essentials Asia Pacific.
