What We Deliver
Six Pillars of Taiwan Personal Care & Beauty Intelligence
Our six interconnected intelligence pillars give you a 360-degree view of the Taiwan personal care and beauty market, from regulatory compliance to competitive positioning and consumer demand signals.
01
Regulatory Landscape Analysis
Taiwan's TFDA enforces a distinct set of cosmetic and personal care regulations under the Cosmetics Hygiene and Safety Act, which was substantially revised in 2019 and fully enacted by 2021. We map every applicable product category rule, ingredient restriction, labeling requirement, and notification or license obligation so you enter with zero compliance surprises.

Restricted and prohibited ingredient lists under Taiwan regulations
Chinese-language labeling and claims compliance requirements
How It Works
From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence
Our four-stage engagement is designed to move from your strategic brief to a fully validated, decision-ready intelligence report within six weeks, with clear checkpoints and your team involved at every stage.
Step 1 · Day 1-2
Discovery and Scoping
We begin with a structured briefing session to understand your product categories, target consumer segments, existing market knowledge, and the specific decisions this intelligence will inform. This session allows us to tailor the research scope precisely and avoid delivering generic market data that does not address your real strategic questions.
Taevas Approach
The output of this stage is a signed-off research brief and project plan that specifies the product categories, competitive set, regulatory questions, and channel priorities we will investigate. We also confirm data source access and assign the Taiwan-based research team members who will lead primary and secondary research.

TFDA Cosmetic Notifications Filed Annually
TFDA Regulatory Overhaul
Taiwan's Cosmetics Hygiene and Safety Act, revised in 2019 and fully effective since 2021, created a two-tier system distinguishing ordinary cosmetics from products with special efficacy claims. Companies must now file electronic notifications for ordinary cosmetics and obtain licenses for special-use products, making regulatory intelligence a prerequisite for any product launch.
K-Beauty and J-Beauty Dominance
South Korean and Japanese brands collectively command a significant share of Taiwan's premium skincare and color cosmetics segments, driven by cultural proximity, aggressive digital marketing, and a strong influencer ecosystem on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and local streaming services. New entrants must have a clear positioning strategy that differentiates from these established Asian competitors.
E-Commerce and Livestream Commerce Growth
Online channels including Momo, Shopee, and PChome have become primary discovery and purchase platforms for beauty consumers under forty in Taiwan. Livestream commerce on platforms such as Facebook Live and emerging short-video apps is accelerating, with beauty and personal care among the top-performing categories, creating new distribution opportunities for brands willing to invest in content-led commerce.
Clean Beauty and Ingredient Transparency
Taiwanese consumers increasingly scrutinize ingredient lists and demand transparency around safety, sourcing, and sustainability, a trend amplified by active online beauty communities and local dermatology influencers. Brands that can substantiate clean, vegan, or dermatologist-tested claims with credible documentation have a measurable advantage in both retail negotiation and consumer conversion.
