Are you a cosmetics manufacturer or a trading company?

We are LIZEE, a professional cosmetics OEM/ODM manufacturer with our own physical production facility and high-tech R&D laboratory. Since our founding in 2012, we have operated as a dedicated "source factory," meaning you are working directly with the people who create and bottle your products.Choosing a direct manufacturer like LIZEE offers you several strategic advantages over a trading company:Direct Cost AdvantageNo Middleman Markups: Because we own the facility, there are no trading commissions or hidden fees. You get "Factory-Direct" pricing, which aligns with our mission to make high-quality skincare affordable and accessible.Full-Spectrum Quality ControlFrom Raw Materials to Finished Goods: Every step—including ingredient sourcing, formulation, emulsification, and filling—is managed under our roof. Unlike trading companies that "outsource" production, we have 100% oversight of the GMPC and ISO quality standards.R&D-Driven InnovationOur Own Laboratory: We don't just "buy" formulas; our in-house chemists design them. This allows us to break the high R&D barriers for our clients and offer unique, customizable solutions that trading companies simply cannot replicate.Transparent & Efficient CommunicationDirect Access to Experts: When you have a technical question or need a production update, you talk directly to the source. This eliminates the "broken telephone" effect often experienced with trading intermediaries, leading to faster lead times and higher accuracy."A trading company sells a product; a manufacturer builds a brand’s future."As a family-owned business with over a decade of history, our goal isn't just to fulfill an order—it's to be your long-term strategic partner. We invest in the same values of trust and excellence that you want your brand to represent.

Can you help with packaging?

Absolutely. Packaging is the "first impression" of your brand. At LIZEE, we offer a dual-track approach to packaging to provide maximum flexibility for our partners, whether you want a full-service solution or wish to use your own unique containers.Option A: Full-Service SourcingWe act as your procurement consultant, leveraging our decade-long network of trusted suppliers.Sourcing & Design: We help you find the right bottles, jars, and boxes that align with your brand's aesthetic.Streamlined Logistics: We handle the coordination, quality inspection, and delivery of packaging directly to our production lines.Option B: Customer-Supplied PackagingWe welcome clients who prefer to source their own unique packaging. This is a popular choice for brands looking for distinct differentiation.Lower MOQs: When you provide the packaging, we can often offer lower Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) on the bulk production, as we are not restricted by our packaging suppliers' volume requirements.Reduced Initial Investment: This allows you to scale at your own pace and maintain control over your supply chain costs.The Mandatory "Compatibility & Safety" TestRegardless of where the packaging is sourced, your brand’s safety is our priority. Before production begins, all customer-supplied packaging must pass our rigorous lab testing:Compatibility Test: We ensure the formula does not react with the packaging materials (preventing changes in color, scent, or efficacy).Leakage & Stress Test: We simulate shipping and storage conditions to ensure no leaking or cracking occurs.Stability Test: We ensure the air-tightness of the container protects the formula for its intended shelf life."A beautiful bottle is useless if it leaks. We test for your peace of mind."If you choose to provide your own packaging, please send samples to our lab as early as possible. This allows us to perform the necessary tests while the formulation is being finalized, ensuring your 1.5 to 2-month timeline remains on track.

Do you ship internationally?

Absolutely. At LIZEE, our mission to "democratize skincare" means ensuring our products can reach every corner of the globe. Since 2012, we have built a robust global logistics network that serves brand owners, traders, and wholesalers across developing regions and major global markets alike.Comprehensive Global ReachWe offer diverse shipping solutions tailored to your order size and budget:Ocean Freight (LCL/FCL): The most cost-effective solution for large-scale wholesale and brand orders.Air Freight: For rapid market launches and time-sensitive restocking.Express Delivery (DHL/FedEx/UPS): Ideal for smaller startup batches or sample testing.Expert Regulatory & Customs Support The biggest barrier to international shipping is paperwork. We handle the complexities for you:Compliance Documentation: We provide all essential documents including MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets), COA (Certificate of Analysis), and Export Licenses.Regulatory Alignment: We ensure that labeling and ingredient disclosures meet the specific requirements of your destination country (e.g., FDA, EU regulations, or local health authorities in emerging markets).Smooth Customs Clearance: Our experienced logistics team works to minimize delays and ensure your products clear customs efficiently.Flexible CooperationWe adapt to your preferred way of doing business:Whether you prefer EXW, FOB (Guangzhou/Shenzhen), CIF, or DDP (available in certain regions), we work with your nominated freight forwarders or introduce you to our trusted logistics partners to ensure the most reliable route."Logistics should never be an obstacle to a great brand."Especially for our clients in developing countries and unprivileged regions, we understand that logistics costs and import barriers can be high. We proactively optimize packaging weight and provide the necessary technical dossiers to help you lower your import costs and speed up local market entry.

Who owns the intellectual property (IP) of the custom formula?

At LIZEE, we operate with a clear and firm principle: Your brand’s formula is your proprietary asset. We act strictly as your technical architect and manufacturing arm. From the moment the first lab sample is approved, the full ownership of that specific formulation belongs entirely to you.1Pre-Collaboration Legal Framework (NDA) We never begin a project without a formal legal shield. Our Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is designed to protect every layer of your innovation:The "Total Formula" Protection: This includes not only the list of ingredients (INCI) but also the exact concentrations, specific blending order, and temperature protocols that make your product unique.Sourcing Privacy: Any specific raw material suppliers or specialized active ingredients suggested by you are kept strictly confidential.Commercial Integrity & Anti-CompetitionAs a "family business" focused on long-term partnerships, we safeguard your market advantage by preventing any internal "cross-pollination" of ideas:Exclusive Customization: Once a formula is developed and finalized for your brand, it enters our "Restricted Archive." We guarantee that this specific formula will never be offered, sold, or "tweaked" for use by another client or competitor.No Brand Competition: LIZEE does not operate any house brands. We are dedicated 100% to contract manufacturing (B2B), which eliminates any conflict of interest. We succeed only when your brand succeeds.Formula Transparency & Regulatory FreedomWe believe in empowering our partners with the freedom to scale globally. We do not use formulas to "lock-in" our clients:Full Compliance Documentation: We provide all necessary technical data sheets, stability reports, and ingredient breakdowns required for your brand's regulatory filings (such as GMPC, FDA, or local health authority registrations).Strategic Independence: We respect the fact that for your brand to grow, you need full control over your IP. Our contract explicitly states that upon fulfillment of terms, the formula is yours to keep, manage, and protect as you see fit for your company’s valuation."Your success is our only metric. We build formulas to build your empire, not ours."In our 14 years of history, we have handled thousands of proprietary formulas without a single breach of trust. We understand that in the cosmetics industry, trust is the invisible ingredient in every bottle.

How long does the production process take?

At LIZEE, we understand that speed-to-market is a critical competitive advantage. In general, our end-to-end process from initial concept to finished product delivery takes 6 to 8 weeks. Standard Timeline BreakdownWeek 1-2: R&D & SamplingFormula development and client approval of the "bench samples."Week 3-4: Regulatory & SourcingParallel processing of ingredient procurement and regulatory filing to save time.Week 5-8: Mass Production & FillingCompounding, high-speed filling, quality control, and final assembly.Special Cases for Extended TimelinesWhile we strive for the fastest delivery, certain complex requirements may extend the timeline. These include:1. Custom Packaging Molds: If you require a unique, proprietary bottle shape that is not in our standard stock, the mold creation and testing process can add an extra 4 to 6 weeks.2. Sourcing Rare/Imported Ingredients: If your formula requires specific organic extracts or specialized active ingredients sourced from overseas, the global logistics and customs clearance may add 2 to 3 weeks.3. Extensive Clinical/Efficacy Testing: Standard safety tests are included in our 2-month window. However, specialized third-party "Clinical Efficacy Claims" (e.g., 28-day anti-aging trials) will naturally require more time.4. Complex Packaging Techniques: Multi-layered gift sets or intricate hand-assembled packaging may require additional production time compared to standard unit cartons."Planning ahead is the secret to a fast launch."To maintain the 6 to 8 weeks timeline, we recommend selecting from our "Pre-Verified Component Catalog" (bottles and jars we have in stock). This allows us to jump straight into production the moment your formula is approved.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Personal Label?

At LIZEE, we understand that for a growing brand, MOQ is not just a number—it’s a balance of capital and quality. Since 2012, we have optimized our production lines to offer a standard threshold of 3,000 units per SKU for most custom formulations. However, because we believe in transparency, we want you to understand how different factors influence this:1. Category-Specific MinimumsSome products involve specialized high-speed machinery. To ensure the stability of the formula and the precision of the filling. Examples include, but are not limited to:Sheet Masks: Automated folding and sealing machines require large rolls of film. To avoid excessive material waste, the MOQ typically starts from 10,000 to 20,000 pieces.Monodose/Ampoules: Due to the specialized "Blow-Fill-Seal" or high-precision filling technology, these items usually require a minimum run to maintain machine calibration and sterility.These are just examples. Please consult our team for the specific MOQ of your desired product category.2. The Role of Packaging (The True Driver)Your choice of packaging is often the most significant factor in determining the final MOQ.Standard/Stock Components: If you select from our pre-verified inventory of bottles, jars, or tubes, we can easily maintain the 3,000-unit limit.Custom Tooling & Unique Shapes: If you require a unique bottle shape exclusive to your brand, packaging suppliers usually demand 10,000+ units to justify the cost of creating a new mold.Special Finishing: Techniques like silk-screening, UV coating, hot stamping, or custom color-spraying involve "machine setup waste." Using multiple processes on a small batch significantly increases the unit cost, so higher quantities are often recommended for better ROI.3. Secondary Packaging (Boxes & Sets)Adding an extra layer of branding often affects the MOQ:Standard Unit Cartons: To achieve high-quality offset printing and precise die-cutting, box suppliers typically have an MOQ of 3,000 units.Premium Gift Sets: Complex structures or manual assembly products may vary."We are not here to set barriers; we are here to help you cross them."If you are a startup with limited initial volume,  We suggests starting with Standard Components + High-Quality Labels/Screen Printing. This allows you to hit the 3,000-unit mark while keeping your brand looking premium. As your brand scales, we can transition to custom-molded packaging together.
