When “anti-aging cosmetics” rank among the top three most searched terms on Xiaohongshu and Douyin’s official platforms, Mingyu Cosmetics Leveraging its advantage as a direct-from-source manufacturer, the brand has turned ergothioneine—a powerful antioxidant ingredient—into a runaway hit. In just three months, the repurchase rate for its fall-season single-item product soared to 58%, and despite three restocks across offline channels, it still sold out every time. So what exactly did Mingyu Cosmetics do right this fall?
1. Direct supply from the source factory, with active ingredients locked in freshness.
Mingyu Cosmetics operates a state-of-the-art, nearly 20,000-square-meter source factory that maintains sterile conditions throughout the entire production process—from fermentation and purification to bottling. Given ergothioneine’s extreme sensitivity to temperature and light, the factory employs an ultra-rapid cryogenic preservation technology using liquid nitrogen at −196°C, which locks in ingredient activity at over 98%, significantly surpassing the industry average of 82%. This robust technological capability has driven a 210% surge in the B2B platform search index for Mingyu’s source factory, directly boosting consumer awareness on the B2C front.
II. Ergothioneine × Tripeptide: Precisely Targeting Aging Signals
The R&D team has formulated a proprietary blend of 2,000 ppm high-purity ergothioneine with palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and acetyl hexapeptide-8, creating a dual-action “antioxidant + collagen-stimulating” pathway. Clinical data show that after 28 days, fine lines are reduced by 31% and skin elasticity increases by 27%. Compared with traditional retinol, this formulation does not require a build-up period, can be used during the day, and is safe for sensitive skin—resulting in an impressive conversion rate of 19.8% for anti-aging cosmetics, significantly above the industry average.
3. Dual-action whitening and moisturizing—one bottle solves dryness, aging, and dullness.
In addition to anti-aging benefits, Mingyu has also incorporated 5D hyaluronic acid and alpha-arbutin, resulting in a texture that strikes the perfect balance between serum and lotion—non-comedogenic for oily skin and non-stripping for dry skin. Consumer reviews confirm: “My complexion doesn’t look sallow after staying up late, and foundation applies smoothly without settling into fine lines,” making this autumn product a runaway hit on Xiaohongshu and Douyin.
IV. Content-driven seeding + private-domain repurchase: a closed-loop, end-to-end journey
Mingyu Cosmetics partnered with 50 medical-grade KOLs to launch a 28-day check-in challenge, providing authentic documentation of fine-line changes. By converting public-domain traffic into private-domain engagement, the brand saw private-domain customers generate an average order value 2.4 times higher than those in the public domain, with repeat customers accounting for 61% of total sales.
V. Price Anchoring and Scenario Positioning
While international luxury brands price ergothioneine at over RMB 800 per unit, Mingyu has positioned its product in the mid-to-high-end segment, leveraging the “same premium-grade ingredient at one-third the price” value proposition to deeply resonate with consumers. In addition, the brand has launched two signature limited-edition gift sets—“Late-Night Emergency Rescue Serum” and “Pre-Wedding Intensive Repair”—which precisely address the pain points of women aged 30–45, driving monthly sales of 500,000 units for each individual product.
From upstream raw materials and midstream R&D to downstream marketing, Mingyu Cosmetics Leveraging the strength of a direct-from-source factory, we’ve turned ergothioneine-based anti-aging cosmetics into a “buy-at-first-sight” blockbuster, setting a replicable growth blueprint for domestic skincare brands.
