Looking Ahead
Sharon PC will plug-in into the Eternis model. Both business units will cater to their distinct yet adjacent application markets of aroma and cosmetic/personal care. As the Enriching lives with care personal care segment continues to experience rapid growth, driven by changing consumer preferences and an increasing focus on wellness and self-care, the group aims to position itself through its innovations to anticipate the demands of tomorrow’s consumers as well.

With the added benefit of expanded resources to fuel further growth, Sharon PC will maintain its product lines under the same brand name but with a modified identity infused with elements of Eternis.
