Estée Lauder Creates Osiao Brand For China

Estée Lauder Companies created the Osiao cosmetics brand for the Chinese market.

Estée Lauder said it plans to initially sell Osiao products, developed at a company R&D institute in Shanghai and manufactured in Japan, in China. Osiao is part of Estée Lauder’s long-term strategy in China; however, some analysts said the company might find it harder to introduce a new brand in the country than an existing one.
