Supplement & Beauty Manufacturing in China

Connect formula brief, factory capability, samples, packaging and compliance evidence in one buyer-side workstream.

Start with our existing supplement, skincare and packaging supplier resources. We check formula, format and order fit, then extend the search only where the brief requires it.

Your product range

Start with the product your customer will use.

01

Powders & drink mixes

Formula briefs, sensory samples, stick packs and pouches. Keep formulation and packing requirements connected.

02

Gummies & wellness formats

Compare format, serving size, ingredients and packaging with the factory's actual production capabilities.

03

Skincare & beauty

Creams, serums and their packaging. Review texture, component compatibility and required evidence separately.

Each brief is assessed for supplier and process fit.

A sample approval is not production approval or market authorisation. Each decision keeps its own evidence and owner.

Relevant operating experience

What this looked like in practice.

Skincare supplier selection

From a face-cream brief to physical sample options.

Formula, texture, packaging, MOQ and supplier documents were compared. Samples were coordinated for the buyer's review, with ingredient discrepancies returned to factory engineers.

Supplier-development and sampling work; no production launch or market authorisation is claimed.

Wellness supplier reset

A clearer route to the actual manufacturer.

The real manufacturer was identified, commercial terms were reset and the buyer moved to a direct factory relationship.

Selected engagement. Its cost result is not a forecast or promise for another product.

The next step

Start with what you have.

A product reference, a range plan or an existing supplier question. We will identify the details needed to move forward.

Product checks and scope

Formula ownership

Clarify who owns the formula, ingredient specifications, substitutions and change control.

Factory and format fit

Verify whether the manufacturer actually runs the required dosage form, packaging and batch size.

Samples and scale-up

Track sensory, stability, packaging and specification changes before commercial production.

Evidence for the target market

Coordinate factory documents, testing and specialist inputs without confusing them with legal market approval.

ARBO coordinates factory and supply-chain execution. We do not replace a qualified formulator, laboratory, EU Responsible Person, legal adviser or market-authorisation owner.
