Where we're strongest
Skin care sourcing from China
We source almost any product from China. Skin care is one of our strongest areas.
What we source
We source almost any product from China. Skin care is one of the areas we are strongest in. That is an example, not the limit. If you need something else made in China, start with a brief.
On skin care jobs we work with stock or custom formulas, and filling and packaging can sit in the same job. A stock formula is one the factory already makes, which you can run under your own brand. A custom formula is one produced to a specification you provide. You do not have to decide this before you write to us. Tell us what you have, and we will help you see which path fits the brief.
Filling means the product is put into the bottles, jars or other containers for the run, rather than arriving as bulk only. Packaging can be quoted alongside the product, including bottles, jars, boxes and the print that goes with them. Product, packaging and print are handled together as one job, so the cream, the jar, the box and the label are not split across suppliers you have to coordinate yourself. You have one contact for every supplier on the order.
For supplements and skin care, we can work with halal-capable factories.
We can help arrange the test reports and documents your market asks for. That work sits with the rest of the job, from the brief through to shipment. It is help arranging what is asked for, not a substitute for your own compliance. You stay responsible for the rules in the countries you sell into, including product claims and labelling.
Our specialist team in China matches each product to a factory type they know. We tell you early if something is not a good fit. Notch Sourcing Pte Ltd is based in Singapore, with a team in China. We work with buyers in the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
This is one of our strongest areas, not the limit of what we source. Read how we source almost any product from China, how we source packaging, or how we source supplements.
How it works
From brief to shipment.
You work with one team, not a string of factories.
You work with one team from the brief to shipment. Search, samples, checks and shipping sit with a single contact, and a specialist team on the ground in China does the factory work.
01 · Brief
Share the product, quantity and market, and whether you are looking at a stock or custom formula. Include any formula, pack or document details you already have. That is enough to start. Artwork or a photo can follow after we reply.
02 · Factory match
We shortlist manufacturers that fit. We visit a factory when we vet it. If filling, packaging or print are part of the same job, we treat them as one brief rather than as separate supplier hunts you have to run yourself.
03 · Samples
Check quality before you commit to a full run. For a skin care job that may mean the formula, the filled pack, or both, depending on what you have asked us to source.
04 · QC
Inspections before shipment are done by our own team in China. We can help arrange the test reports and documents your market asks for.
05 · Shipping
We help consolidate orders and get goods moving.

Questions
Common questions
Do you only source skin care?
No. We source almost any product from China. Skin care is one of the areas we are strongest in. Supplements, printing, plastic moulding and packaging are also areas of strength. They are examples, not the limit.
What is the difference between a stock formula and a custom formula?
A stock formula is one the factory already makes, which you can run under your own brand. A custom formula is one produced to a specification you provide. Share what you have, even if it is incomplete, and we will help you see which path fits.
Can filling and packaging be included?
Yes. Filling and packaging can sit in the same job as the product. Product, packaging and print are handled together as one job. You have one contact for every supplier on the order.
Can you work with halal-capable factories?
For supplements and skin care, we can work with halal-capable factories.
What about tests and documents?
We can help arrange the test reports and documents your market asks for. You stay responsible for compliance, including claims and labelling, in the countries you sell into.
Who inspects the goods?
We visit a factory when we vet it. Inspections before shipment are done by our own team in China.
How do I start?
Send a brief with the product, quantity and market, and any formula or pack details you already have. We reply to every brief.
