Shiseido details plan for the inaugural Hainan Consumer Products Expo
Taking place May 7 – 10 in Haikou, Shiseido Group aims to bring innovation and skin beauty to the Expo via the Shiseido Skin Beauty Live Studio (stand number: 5T024) and showcase the Group’s key products from 13 brands in its diverse portfolio
Shiseido Company, Limited will showcase new brands, products and technologies to key Chinese trade and traveling consumer audiences at the first China International Consumer Products Expo, taking place 7-10 May at the Hainan International Convention & Exhibition Center, Haikou. As the first beauty company to confirm its participation in the event, Shiseido is reinforcing its commitment to long-term growth in China and travel retail’s global hotspot, Hainan.
As demand for prestige products and domestic travel continues to rise among Chinese consumers, Shiseido is seeing dynamic growth in Hainan, where the Group has placed an increased focus on cross-border collaboration between its China and Travel Retail businesses.
Bringing innovation and skin beauty to the Expo, the Shiseido Skin Beauty Live Studio (stand number: 5T024) blends together the Group’s strong foundation in innovation, technology and quality. The heart of the 500-sqm booth commemorates the 40th anniversary of Shiseido entering the Chinese domestic market and beginning its “Power of Beauty” journey, while highlighting the Group’s sustainability values and key products from 13 brands in Shiseido’s diverse portfolio.
Two prestige skincare brands will be unveiled for the first time in domestic China, taking center stage in separate display areas at the booth: BAUM, a sustainable offering that supports healthy skin by harnessing “the power of trees” and focusing on water storage, growth and environmental defense; and THE GINZA, a minimalist luxury brand that combines cutting-edge technology with high-quality ingredients to deliver tailormade solutions for all skin types and problems.
The booth will feature a roster of live events, digital engagement touchpoints and virtual shopping experiences. The “Live Studio” concept will be brought to life through a livestreaming room where beauty consultations, product demonstrations and new brand launches will be simulcast to Expo visitors and online audiences across China. A main stage will host the opening ceremony, as well as talks and presentations by top KOLs/KOCs and researchers from Shiseido’s China Innovation Center. In addition, a dedicated “Cross-Border E-Commerce” zone will allow consumers to purchase exclusive tax-free products yet to launch in China. To drive engagement at the booth, guests will be invited to visit different exhibition areas and collect virtual stamps on WeChat to unlock a complimentary Shiseido giftset.
