Rejoice China
Rejoice is Procter & Gamble’s hair-care brand marketed in China under the Chinese name 飘柔.
Last updated August 28, 2026
Overview
Rejoice China is the Chinese-market business and brand presence of Rejoice, a hair-care brand owned by Procter & Gamble. In China, the brand is known primarily by the name 飘柔 and is associated with shampoo and conditioner products focused on smoothness, manageability, softness and everyday hair care. The supplied official website presents a dedicated Chinese digital destination for the brand, while publicly available campaign material shows Rejoice operating through mass-media advertising, online video, social media, public-relations activity and consumer-facing digital experiences. The brand’s communications have historically connected the functional promise of smooth hair with broader emotional themes. A prominent strand of its Chinese positioning treats smoothness as a metaphor for harmonious relationships and affection. This approach helped distinguish Rejoice from advertising that focused only on cleansing, dandruff control or technical hair treatment. The brand has used romantic storytelling, Valentine’s Day activity and relationship-oriented films to make a relatively routine personal-care product more culturally resonant. In 2012, Rejoice ran a Valentine’s Day initiative described by Spikes Asia as “Rejoice Helps China Fall in Love.” The campaign used outdoor digital screens and other communications to help consumers express affection, reinforcing the brand’s image as a “love brand.” In 2014, a long-form online film commonly referred to as “Hugs” or “I Believe in Love Again” presented a couple facing divorce and used repeated embraces and memories of their relationship as the narrative device. The execution was created by Leo Burnett Hong Kong and attracted substantial online attention according to contemporary media reports. Rejoice has also extended its emotional and sensory language into inclusion-oriented communication. A campaign reported in connection with People.cn and the Guangdong Association for the Blind featured four visually impaired women discussing beauty through touch and other non-visual senses. Its central idea challenged the assumption that beauty is defined only by appearance, while also linking tactile perception to the brand’s longstanding emphasis on silky-feeling hair. The available material does not establish a year for this activity. The China brand should not be treated as a separately incorporated or separately listed company. It is a market-specific brand operation within Procter & Gamble’s wider portfolio. Publicly available material supplied for this entry does not establish a founding year, Chinese headquarters, current executives, sales figures, market share, or a complete current product catalogue. Rejoice China is nevertheless identifiable as an active consumer hair-care brand with an official Chinese website and a continuing presence in China’s shampoo and conditioner market.
History
Rejoice is a Procter & Gamble hair-care brand marketed in China as 飘柔. The available reference material does not document the brand’s original global founding date or the precise date of its Chinese launch, so neither is asserted here. Within China, the brand has been associated with shampoo and conditioner products and with a consumer proposition built around smooth, soft and easy-to-manage hair. Its Chinese marketing became notable for translating a functional hair-care benefit into emotional and cultural storytelling. Rather than limiting communications to demonstrations of washing or hair texture, Rejoice frequently connected smooth hair with smooth relationships, affection and confidence. This approach was particularly visible in campaigns developed for Chinese audiences and distributed through television, online video, social media, digital outdoor media and public-relations channels. A documented 2012 initiative, titled “Rejoice Helps China Fall in Love” by Spikes Asia, used Valentine’s Day as a platform for consumers to communicate affection. The campaign reportedly employed 80 LED boards across China and sought to give people a memorable way to say “I love you.” Its strategic role was to strengthen Rejoice’s association with love and interpersonal connection while maintaining relevance to a shampoo brand. In 2014, Leo Burnett Hong Kong developed the film “Hugs,” also discussed in contemporary coverage as a campaign encouraging couples to believe in love again. The narrative begins with divorce papers and follows a wife’s condition that her husband embrace her every day for a month. The couple revisits places connected with their proposal, first declaration of love, first kiss and first meeting. The film’s central device made physical closeness and relationship repair the emotional equivalent of hair smoothness. Contemporary reports said the video received very high online viewership, although the available sources do not provide an independently verified performance figure. Rejoice also participated in an accessibility-themed public-service film reported in connection with People.cn and the Guangdong Association for the Blind. Four visually impaired women described beauty through touch and other sensory experiences. The campaign questioned the idea that beauty must be visual and connected this inclusive perspective with Rejoice’s tactile language around silky hair. The reference material identifies the activity as an October 14 launch but does not reliably specify the year. The brand’s present Chinese operation remains part of Procter & Gamble rather than an independent public company. The official Chinese website confirms a dedicated market-facing digital presence. Beyond the documented campaigns, the supplied sources do not provide enough reliable information to state the full history of product launches, distribution, manufacturing, leadership, financial performance or current market share. Those gaps should be revisited through company filings, official corporate histories and archived Chinese product pages.
