Paris-based L’Oréal is the first cosmetics company to develop reconstructed Chinese skin, which contains living cells from donors. The penny-size dollops allow researchers to develop anti-aging serums, whitening creams, and pollution-fighting cleansers for customers in the company’s fastest-growing market.

Quote:

Human beings don’t wear the same skin. There’s little difference between races when it comes to the top layer, or epidermis, but there are many disparities at the cellular level. That means Chinese and Caucasian skin react differently to stimuli such as the sun’s ultraviolet rays, and they age differently: Western skin typically wrinkles, whereas Chinese skin changes pigmentation.

The dermis of various races also interacts differently with beauty products. A foundation suitable for Caucasian skin, for instance, may cake on Chinese skin, which is more sebaceous.

[sebaceous means oily]

As long as the testing is cruelty free, it sounds interesting.

I am so pale, that the only foundation that works for me is made by Shiseido (a Japanese brand).
