The organiser of the PCHi China trade show is accepting nominations for the 2026 Fountain Awards to be presented next year in Hangzhou.
Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions (RSE) is inviting companies and formulation professionals to submit their most innovative achievements for consideration.
The awards will be presented alongside PCHi 2026, which takes place on 18–20 March at the Hangzhou Grand Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The judging panel includes experts from industry associations, senior executives from leading companies, renowned academics, and members of PCHi’s Cosmetics Science & Technology Innovation Committee (CSTIC).
All entries will be assessed across multiple dimensions, including structural and process innovation, market applicability, toxicology and safety, sustainability, intellectual property, and technical merit.
To ensure fairness and impartiality, the Fountain Awards jury rotates annually and adheres to a strict evaluation process.
“The Fountain Awards captures the spirit of innovation at the heart of PCHi. Each year, they shine a light on the creativity of companies and individuals while recognizing breakthroughs that are redefining personal care,” said an RSE spokeswoman.
“By celebrating these achievements, we hope to encourage the industry to keep advancing ingredient technologies and formulation science,” she added.
