As a beauty brand navigating the complexities of entering the China market, we can’t imagine how we would have navigated this process without Allie’s guidance. Allie has truly been our one-stop-shop for all things beauty and cross-border e-commerce in China. Her unparalleled market expertise, strong network of partners, and professionalism have made her an invaluable extension of our team and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Allie’s knowledge on the market knows no bounds, as it’s obvious she stays on top of market entry in every topic from logistics and warehousing, market research, product strategy, to possible distribution strategies and pros/cons of all.

We would jump at the chance to work with Allie in the future and highly recommend Clean Beauty Asia for any beauty brands exploring their China market entry strategy.
