A co-creation hub dedicated to cosmetics in China
Shanghai, China – February 11, 2025 - Roquette, a global leader in plant-based ingredients, is proud to announce the opening of its first Roquette Beauté Expertise Center in Shanghai. This brand-new center entirely devoted to cosmetics is a testament of Roquette’s commitment to innovation, collaboration, and excellence in plant-based ingredients for cosmetics.
Strategically located in Shanghai, the Roquette Beauté Expertise Center, will serve as a hub for co-creation and partnership opportunities within the Chinese cosmetics market. This state-of-the-art center is equipped with an advanced application lab and a comprehensive testing center, including sensory analysis capabilities, to support the development of high-performance, plant-based cosmetic formulations.

The facility is envisioned as a space where creativity and science converge, enabling the creation of innovative solutions for makeup, haircare, skincare, and oral care applications that meet the evolving needs of consumers for plant-based cosmetics that deliver both on sustainability and proven efficacy.
