The challenge

1.Product Reformulation: U.S. consumers demanded sulfate-free, fragrance-free, and sensitive-skin formulas, requiring Baoshijie to re-engineer core recipes.

2.Regulatory Complexity: Labeling, claims, and packaging compliance for U.S. retail required cross-border coordination.

3.Time Constraints: AYC required launch within 90 days, from sampling to shelf-ready delivery.

4.Supply Chain Agility: Order volumes were modest but recurring, tied to seasonal promotions and requiring precise inventory management.

project goals

In early 2024, Baoshijie Soap initiated a strategic partnership with AYC Supermarket Group, one of the leading Asian-American grocery chains in the United States. The collaboration aimed to co-develop a line of high-quality, plant-based bar soaps tailored for the U.S. retail market, combining Baoshijie’s manufacturing expertise with AYC’s deep customer insights and retail reach.

  • Create a premium private label soap line for AYC stores, emphasizing clean ingredients and Asian herbal formulations.

  • Ensure compliance with U.S. FDA cosmetic regulations and adapt product features to U.S. consumer preferences.

  • Deliver on an aggressive timeline and support flexible, small-batch replenishment suited to retail cycles.
