Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions has opened visitor pre-registration for PCHi 2027. The major beauty ingredients exhibition is scheduled for 24 to 26 February 2027 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. Ahead of the event, the organizer has also launched the call for entries for the PCHi Fountain Awards 2027. These awards are designed to highlight innovation in cosmetic ingredients and formulation technologies.

Event Scope and Previous Turnout

Positioned as the first major beauty ingredients exhibition of the year, PCHi gathers formulators, brand owners, R&D professionals, regulatory specialists, and buyers. The event focuses on the Asia-Pacific region. The 2026 edition attracted more than 50,000 trade visitors. It also hosted over 860 exhibitors from 72 countries and regions.

Focus on Science-Backed Beauty

The 2027 edition will reflect a key industry trend: growing demand for scientifically validated ingredients and efficacy claims. Brands are increasingly seeking to support product performance with biological mechanisms, clinical data, and regulatory compliance. PCHi aims to provide a platform for suppliers, researchers, and formulators to exchange technical expertise.

The exhibition will span seven halls dedicated to ingredient and formulation innovation. It will run alongside the PCHi Annual Industry Conference, technical forums, and networking events. Check the event fixtures for the full schedule.

Fountain Awards Recognize Innovation

Innovation will also be highlighted through the PCHi Fountain Awards, with entries now open to exhibitors. Created in 2010 and renamed in 2017, the awards recognize breakthrough technologies across five specific categories.

For 2027, the organizer has introduced a refined evaluation framework. It is built around five criteria: technical excellence, scientific validity, efficacy and safety, practical application and market potential, and the quality of supporting documentation.

The judging panel includes representatives from regulatory bodies, industry associations, universities, and major beauty brands. Members of the Cosmetics Science & Technology Innovation Committee (CSTIC) will also judge.

Submission Rules and Timeline

Only PCHi 2027 exhibitors are eligible to submit entries. Products must have been launched on or after 1 November 2025. Each company may submit up to three products.

The submission deadline is 23 November 2026. Finalists will be announced in late January 2027. Winners will be unveiled during the PCHi Fountain Awards Ceremony on 24 February 2027, which is the opening day of the exhibition.
