About Herborist
Herborist is a Chinese cosmetics and skincare brand founded in 1998 in Shanghai, regarded as the first comprehensive skincare brand based on the herbal culture of traditional Chinese medicine. Its approach blends classic botanical ingredients — such as peony, ginseng, osmanthus flower and lindera root — with modern biotechnology to formulate alcohol-free products aimed at skin balance and radiance.
Its best-known ranges include T'ai Chi, inspired by yin-yang balance and focused on cleansing and skin equilibrium, and Imperial Wu-Xing, a premium anti-ageing line, as well as Herborist Derma, a more technology-driven range. The brand obtained European Union certification in 2008 and entered the European market with a flagship store in Paris, later expanding into Asian markets such as Malaysia.
Herborist is a brand of Shanghai Jahwa United and is listed under the differentiated-brand precedent: it has its own name, identity, product range and global website (herborist-global.com), distinct from its parent company. Through its store and international channels, the brand brings Chinese herbal cosmetics to consumers worldwide who are interested in tradition-inspired facial care.
