Our Story
CAMELLIA LABS was built to make it easier for international beauty brands to work with manufacturing partners in China -- more clearly, more efficiently, and with fewer costly surprises along the way.
How We Got Here
A straightforward account of where we started and what we set out to do
A Gap Worth Closing
We noticed that many international beauty brands struggled to communicate effectively with Chinese manufacturers -- navigating language barriers, unverified factory claims, and unclear compliance requirements. CAMELLIA LABS was formed to help bridge that gap.
Practical Support, Not Just Introductions
We work with a network of GMP-certified partner factories and help clients review product feasibility, coordinate documentation, and understand what international compliance actually requires -- before committing to production.
Skincare and Colour Cosmetics
Our partner network covers two main product areas: skincare -- including shampoo, body cream, exfoliators, and essential oils -- and colour cosmetics, such as eyebrow pencils, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, and cleansing balm. We help clients identify suitable production partners for each category.
Still Building, Honestly
We are an active trade partner for international beauty brands looking to source from China with greater clarity and confidence. We focus on EU and UK markets, where compliance requirements are well-defined and documentation matters. We do not overstate what we are -- we help brands plan more realistic launch paths.

Our partner factories operate to GMP standards, and we can walk you through what that means in practice -- from formulation review to documentation and production readiness.
