Herbal cosmetics
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of China's economic status in the world, herbal cosmetics have been born. Materia Medica, a "Chinese" symbol, is increasingly used in applications, especially in cosmetics and health care products.
For example, several well-known domestic cosmetics brands have benefited from the application of "Materia Medica" and are deeply loved by consumers: Herborist, Caomu Nianhua, Xiangyi Materia Medica, Shanzhi Materia Medica, Zirando, etc.
The successful application of herbal cosmetics not only enhances the value of Chinese brands, but also once again strengthens the popularity of the traditional Chinese concept of "herbal medicine"!
