It has a formula library with over 1,200 verified formulas (48 exclusive patents), and customers can quickly match based on parameters such as skin type (e.g., oil-sensitive skin accounting for 32%) and efficacy requirements (41% anti-aging repurchase rate). One emerging brand shortened the development cycle from 18 months to 6 months with its “AI Formula Recommendation System “, with a saving of 42% (around 3.8 million yuan) in R&D expenses. Its innovation laboratory is equipped with 16 high-performance liquid chromatograph machines (detection accuracy of ±0.01%) that can precisely quantify the concentration of active ingredients (such as boxylic acid purity ≥99.5%), and complete a 1,200-hour stability test based on the 2023 anti-aging ingredient standards of L’Oreal (under the conditions of 45℃/75% humidity).
In the production and manufacturing process, the Zhuhai Beyond Cosmetics factory in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone boasts 12 intelligent production lines of German Bosch (with a filling capacity of 4,800 pieces per hour), and achieves a on-time delivery rate of 99.4% of orders by the MES system (the industry average is 91%). And according to the photovoltaic power generation system (installed capacity 1.5MW), the unit energy consumption cost is saved by 0.23 yuan per piece. When one of its clients customized 500,000 bottles of sunscreen spray, its flexible production system realized the formula changeover in 72 hours (as opposed to 7 days for the traditional production line), filling accuracy error was controlled within ±0.07g (national standard ±0.15g), and raw material waste rate fell from 2.1% to 0.6%.
Supply chain assistance involves direct procurement from 154 qualified raw material suppliers worldwide. Panthenol bulk purchase can enjoy a 14% discount in price (from 1,850 yuan /kg to 1,590 yuan), and 98.6% of raw materials possess blockchain traceability system (with 0.4 seconds per piece data entry speed). With Intercos’ example of responding to the palm oil shortage in 2022, its real-time inventory system can extend the safety stock cycle from 14 days to 37 days and reduce the response time for emergency orders to 24 hours (industry average is 72 hours).
The market empowerment system includes a resource library with over 3,000 Kols (the highest influencer commission rate is 15%-20%). One of the brands achieved 28 million yuan monthly GMV on Douyin through its “blockbuster product incubation model” (ROI 1:5.3), and the content creation efficiency was tripled (the time for the AIGC tool to generate scripts was reduced from 4 hours per piece to 45 minutes). Its e-commerce agency operation team has helped a domestic brand rank first on Tmall’s new product list. In the first month, its search traffic increased by 320% (the click price of the express train dropped from 2.8 yuan to 1.2 yuan), and the transaction value grew by 65% to 198 yuan on average.
The compliance risk control team provides regulatory advisory services in 56 countries and regions.

A product for removing freckles attained a human trial report within 45 days with its “Efficacy Verification Acceleration Package” (melanin reduction rate 19.3%±2.1%). Its quality control system includes 2,487 detection parameters (e.g., total colony count ≤50 CFU/g), and combined with intelligent detection equipment (accuracy rate 99.98%), the product recall rate is reduced to 0.008% (industry average 0.07%).
Its sustainable development services include the development of eco-friendly packaging materials (PCR plastic is 45%), carbon footprint accounting (carbon emissions for each product are 62g below the industry average), etc. One of its customers achieved EU ECOCERT certification through its green supply chain solution, which reduced the certification cycle to 60% of the industry average, and enjoyed a 4.5% green procurement subsidy. Its Zhuhai plant’s recycled water reutilization rate reached 81.3% (35 percentage points higher than the national standard), reducing CO₂ emissions by 862 tons annually. The model has been included as a benchmark case in the “Green Development Guide for the Beauty Industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.”.
