Ten Guangzhou skincare factories that international brands can consider for private label, OEM and ODM projects in 2026.
Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, is one of the largest cosmetics manufacturing centres in China, with most factories clustered in the Baiyun, Huadu and Huangpu districts. For a brand outside China, the hardest part is narrowing hundreds of options down to a shortlist. These are the ten Guangzhou skincare manufacturers we would look at first for international private label brands.
A private label skincare manufacturer is a factory that produces skincare products which a brand sells under its own name. OEM (original equipment manufacturing) means the factory produces the brand’s own formula; ODM (original design manufacturing) means the factory also supplies the formula and product development.

FAQ
Which districts of Guangzhou have the most cosmetics factories?
Most cosmetics factories in Guangzhou are in Baiyun District, especially around Jianggao and Renhe towns, followed by Huadu and Huangpu districts. Baiyun has the densest cluster of skincare and cosmetics OEM factories, together with many packaging and raw material suppliers nearby. Huadu is home to several larger and newer manufacturing parks, while Huangpu, in the east of the city, hosts a number of established manufacturers and development-zone factories.
What is the nearest airport to Guangzhou’s cosmetics factories?
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is the nearest major airport, and many factories in Baiyun District are within 30 to 60 minutes’ drive of it. The airport sits in the north of the city, which makes it convenient for visits to Baiyun and Huadu. Factories in Huangpu are further away, so visitors often plan those meetings on a separate day.
When is the Canton Fair held?
The China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) is held in Guangzhou twice a year, in spring and autumn, and many buyers combine it with factory meetings. The fair runs in several phases, each covering different product groups, so it is worth checking which phase includes personal care and cosmetics before booking travel. Hotels near the venue and the airport fill up quickly during the fair.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM in skincare?
In skincare OEM, the factory produces a product using the brand’s own formula; in ODM, the factory also provides the formula and handles product development. OEM suits brands that already own a formula and want full control over it. ODM suits brands that want to launch faster by starting from a factory’s existing formula library and adjusting texture, scent or packaging.
Do Guangzhou skincare factories offer samples before production?
Yes. Most Guangzhou skincare manufacturers provide samples for approval before mass production, and sampling time depends on the formula and packaging. Brands usually go through one or more rounds of samples to fine-tune texture, scent and appearance. Sample policies, including any fees, vary by factory, so it is best to confirm them at the start of the project.
