Brand evaluation tool
Evaluate a Chinese beauty brand before adding it to your assortment.
Use a consistent framework to decide whether a C-beauty brand fits your customers, channel, price architecture, operational capacity, and destination market.
Short answer
A brand should be evaluated across customer fit, product differentiation, exact SKU information, current supply terms, available documents, packaging and labeling, fulfillment feasibility, and reorder reliability. A visually attractive product is not enough on its own.

Market and customer fit
Define the target customer, retail price band, intended channel, category role, and reason the product deserves shelf or page space. Avoid adding brands only because they are currently visible on social media.
Product and commercial evidence
Record exact SKUs, shades, versions, case packs, MOQ, quotation validity, stock or production status, sample availability, and after-sales handling. Ask which information is confirmed and which remains an estimate.
Operational and destination readiness
Review available supplier documents, packaging language, label space, route constraints, lead time, consolidation needs, and reorder process. The buyer should separately verify local import and cosmetic requirements.

No account is required. Review every field against the current product, supplier, quotation date, and destination market.
What buyers usually ask
Does a high social-media following prove wholesale demand?
No. Social visibility may support discovery, but assortment decisions should also use channel fit, product economics, customer feedback, and repeat supply.
Should buyers ask for every document before requesting a quotation?
Start by identifying the destination and product category. Then request the documents relevant to the buyer's local review and the supplier's role.
Can different brands be compared with the same worksheet?
Yes. A consistent scoring and notes structure makes differences in evidence and terms easier to see.
