Throughout the millennia-long history of friendly interactions between China and Thailand, economic cooperation and cultural exchanges have always been the main threads. Particularly since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations in 1975, the two countries have continuously given birth to new opportunities through interactions in diverse fields. In this context, MISTINE, a global cosmetics brand from Thailand and one of the first Thai beauty brands to enter the Chinese market, has leveraged its unique “tropical DNA” and “technological aesthetic innovation” to bridge the beauty industries of China and Thailand, gaining recognition from consumers in China and worldwide.
The recently launched inaugural medical-research line product “SINGLE-DOSE SUNSCREEN” made its debut at the 29th CBE China Beauty Expo, garnering significant attention. With fresh-lock technology tailored for sensitive skin, enhanced whitening, and superior anti-photoaging protection, it was hailed by on-site participants as “a boon for sensitive skin”.
In 2025, on the historic occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand, two of the world’s top fashion publications, Jing Daily and Thai ELLE, have both turned their attention to MISTINE, deeply exploring how the brand has reshaped the rules of the beauty industry through its scientific research capabilities and aesthetic expression.
In the 2025 cover story of ELLE, Chinese beauty influencer and e-commerce host Austin Li is featured wearing fashionable attire designed by Thai designer Shone Puipia, while holding MISTINE’s sunscreen and cushion products. Set against the backdrop of sunlight, mountains, and the sea, he interprets the visual language of “the coexistence of technology and nature”. Through the combination of light and natural elements, as well as a cross-border fashion narrative, the story aptly demonstrates the diverse applications of the brand’s products in fashion styling and embodies the concept of “walking with light, shining with beauty”.
Jing Daily provides an in-depth analysis of the logic behind the rise of T-beauty (Thai beauty) in China, interpreting how MISTINE has upgraded “light Thai makeup” from a tourist souvenir to a daily necessity by relying on a strategy of “technology innovation + digitalization + high cost-performance ratio + precise localization”. Statistics show that since entering the Chinese market in 2016, MISTINE’s “comprehensive sun protection product matrix” (including the 6th generation MISTINE AQUA ULTRA PROTECTION DAILY SUNSCREEN PRO SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN for daily commuting, the “MISTINE SPORT WATER RESISTANT ULTRA PROTECTION SUNSCREEN MILK” designed for sports, and the portable MISTINE AQUA Sunscreen Spray Delicate Mist as core products) has, with the support of the “Taremi” ingredient jointly developed with Nobel Chemistry Prize laureate Professor Arieh Warshel, topped the sales chart of sun protection skincare products in China for four consecutive years since 2021, becoming a benchmark case for the localization of Thai brands in China.
MISTINE has not only gained market share and consumer recognition in both China and Thailand but also won numerous international awards, demonstrating its global competitiveness. Earlier this year, MISTINE’s flagship base makeup product, the MISTINE SOFT GLOW CUSHION FOUNDATION, was honored with the Cosmoprof Awards, known as the “Oscars” of the beauty industry, at the Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna in Italy. This marked the first time that a Thai beauty brand, empowered by Chinese research and development capabilities, has won this prestigious award since its inception.
In addition, the MISTINE THAI LATTE Lip Glaze has also stood out in fierce international competition with its unique design and excellent quality, winning the highest honor of the Platinum Award at the MUSE Design Awards in the United States. These consecutive recognitions from top global industry juries not only demonstrate MISTINE’s R&D strength as a global cosmetics brand but also signify that Asian products have achieved a dual breakthrough in “technological breakthrough + aesthetic innovation”.
As a witness to the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand, MISTINE has proven through a journey that spans the tropics and technology that beauty is not only about external splendor but also a resonance of culture and innovation. As China and Thailand move towards the next 50 years hand in hand, it is anticipated that MISTINE will continue to use technological aesthetics and product innovation as its engine to write more stories of “walking with light, shining with beauty” for consumers in China, Thailand, and around the globe.
