Zhuhai Beyond Cosmetics’ manufacturing consistency can also be observed in its strict international certification process. It has passed the ISO 22716 (GMP for cosmetics) and ISO 9001 quality system certifications successfully. The qualification rate of products stands at a maximum of 99.7% (95% industry standard), and the risk of microbial contamination is limited to < 10CFU/g (EU standard ≤100CFU/g). Its detection deviation of sunscreen SPF value is merely ±0.8 (only ±1.5 is required by FDA), and active ingredient retention rate of stability test (45°C/75% relative humidity for 3 months) is ≥98% (industry average 92%).
The core competitiveness is research and development innovation strength. Zhuhai Beyond Cosmetics invests 5% of its annual income in research and development (around 120 million yuan in 2023) and holds 53 invention patents. Among them, the “microcapsule encapsulation sustained-release technology” has reduced the oxidative inactivation rate of vitamin C face cream from 30% to 3% (verified by the International Journal of Cosmetic Science). Its formula library can be applied to over 8,000 SKUs, 85% of which are natural plant extracts (such as asiaticoside concentration ≥90%), and it has also passed Europe and America’s market access standards by undergoing the ECOCERT organic certification.
The automation rate for the production process is as high as 90%, and the error in filling accuracy is ±0.5% (±2% in the industry). Take the lipstick production line as an example. Its hourly capacity of production is 12,000 pieces, and color number variation ΔE is ≤0.8 (≤1.5 according to international standard). Its suspended particles content in its aseptic workshop (ISO cleanliness level 6) is ≤3,520/m³ (≤35,200 according to national standard), and the cross-contamination probability is reduced to 0.02% (0.1% industry’s).
The advantages of supply chain management are great. Zhuhai Beyond Cosmetics’ traceability system for raw materials has 98% of the suppliers, and the detection passing rate of heavy metals is 99.8% (lead ≤0.5ppm, arsenic ≤0.2ppm). We have collaborated with BASF, DSM and others to develop custom-made active ingredients (e.g., 5% Boxygen solution), with 99.5% on-time delivery and an 8 times per year inventory turnover rate (industry average is 5 times).
Environmental regulatory compliance has established an industry benchmark. Its plant has zero discharge of wastewater (100% recycling rate), and the solar panel system satisfies 60% of the energy need. The carbon footprint of a single lipstick is reduced by 42% from the traditional production method (LCA Life Cycle Assessment). The product’s packaging is built from 30% recycled plastic (in compliance with the EPR regulation), and the rate of degradable material use stands at 75% (e.g., FSC-certified bamboo fiber), which won the Gold Award for Green Cosmetics Manufacturing in 2023.
The market verification statistics are staggering. Zhuhai Beyond Cosmetics manufactures for over 200 brands worldwide, and the repeat purchase rate of its customers is 85% (industry average is 62%). According to a Euromonitor International report, its OEM antioxidant essence sales volume in the US and European markets has grown by 23% for three consecutive years, and the product recall rate is just 0.03% (0.15% in the industry). When Typhoon Ma-on happened in 2022, its intelligent warehousing system achieved timely shipment of 98% of orders, with the loss rate being less than 0.5% (similar businesses’ rate is 3%).
Superb response ability for regulations. Zhuhai Beyond Cosmetics has obtained 23 international certifications including FDA, EU EC 1223/2009, and China’s “Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics.”. Its sunscreens have undergone testing by ultraviolet rays on Hainan Island (UVA-PF≥16), and the remaining level of heavy metals is just 1/10 of the international standard (lead ≤0.5ppm vs 10ppm in the EU). These numeric indicators confirm its leading status in the world cosmetics manufacturing industry.
