"Other Malaysian companies’ products highly in demand in Hong Kong are haircare products and face masks,” it said in a statement today

Cosmoprof Asia is Asia’s leading beauty trade fair, held annually by Informa Markets for the past 25 years in Hong Kong.

The corporation said two Malaysian participants, Ilyska Bioinnovation Sdn Bhd and Sky Resources Sdn Bhd, have also been shortlisted for CosmoTrends, a report which would feature their products along with 20 other product sellers worldwide as selected by the global trends’ agency, Beautystreams.

"In addition, their products were featured on the Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week website, during Beautystreams’ webinar on Nov 8 and promoted in the CosmoTrends report to Cosmoprof’s global database by newsletter, press release and social media posts.

"Their selection proves Malaysian exporters’ capabilities to produce good quality, innovative products that are in demand in foreign markets,” it said.

Director of Lifestyle and Life Sciences Section of Matrade, Zalela Jaafar said the virtual EAM was a good platform for Malaysian companies to meet directly with potential buyers particularly in Hong Kong, Macau and China.

"Hong Kong especially is well known for its demand for fast-moving consumer goods products such as cosmetics and toiletries as the city caters to locals and tourists coming to Hong Kong as well as selling its own products to other markets,” she said.
