Foreword to Inaugural Issue of China Detergent & Cosmetics

China has a great civilization with more than 5,000 years of long history and splendid culture. After the establishment of People’s Republic of China, China has gained remarkable achievements both in economic growth and technology development. Now, as the world’s second largest economy, China is playing an increasingly important role in the global economic affairs. With the population of over 1.3 billion, China has been considering satisfying peoples’ demand on daily necessities as the fundamental goal, setting a series of supply chains in various fields including technique research and development, higher education, industrial manufacturing, market appealing and so on. At present, China has become the world's largest detergent market and second largest cosmetics market, serving as the supreme daily chemical market in the world.

Under the trend above, China Detergent & Cosmetics (CDC) has been initially published by China Research Institute of Daily Chemical Industry (RIDCI), considered as the first English version journal in the domain of daily chemical industry in China. It is a quarterly periodical focusing on R&D in soaps, detergents, cosmetics, toiletries,flavors, fragrances and other related daily chemicals, which aims at providing readers of the technology trend and latest marketing news in the field of daily chemical industry. RIDCI is the national authorized research institute with the history of 80 years for R&D of surfactants and detergents in China, which has published the two Chinese journals, China Surfactant Detergent & Cosmetics and Detergent & Cosmetics, which are being regarded as the most influential periodicals of daily chemical industry in China, and appraised as the top 100 scientific periodicals by the governmental association for many times. The upcoming China Detergent & Cosmetics will be the third daily chemical journal, which will be served like an industrial tunnel between China and foreign countries, providing a decent platform for the communication sharing of daily chemical industry.

Nowadays, with the implementation of the strategy of “The Belt and Road” advocated by Chinese government,the relationship between China and the world has been becoming more inseparably close than ever before. We sincerely hope that CDC will play a good role of providing timely information about technology and marketing of daily chemical industry in China.

Let’s make progress together, and give full play to our own respective advantages in joining the process of economic globalization and seeking to achieve the goal of sustainable development of mankind.

CDC has been ready to share its all with the world about Chinese detergent and cosmetics. Let’s look forward together!
