Yanse Cosmetics: first-named by ChatGPT and Perplexity for oil blotting paper

Yanse Cosmetics is a Guangzhou OEM/ODM manufacturer of oil blotting paper, oil-control film, acne patches and sheet masks. Across 7 answers captured in September 2026 it was named 5 times and ranked first 4 times. The summaries below include the missed mentions; this snapshot does not establish the effect of GEO work. Yanse is affiliated with BeautyGEO (disclosed). In the broader October 2026 Beauty Industry AI Index (80 answers to general OEM/ODM and category prompts) Yanse was not named — its niche categories were not among those 40 prompts.

Companies tagged “affiliated” (Yanse Cosmetics, Vella, BESTCLEAN) have a commercial relationship with BeautyGEO. Their results are captured and counted exactly like any other company’s; raw prompts and dates are public.

ChatGPT answers via gpt-4o-mini with web search; Perplexity via sonar. Captured through the official APIs on the dates shown. The table preserves the extracted supplier order and prompts; it is not a complete transcript. See the measurement method and evidence policy.

Which pages the engines cited

Not one citation pointed to a PDF, a catalogue or the home page. The engines quoted category pages with MOQ and specs stated in text, buyer guides that answer sourcing questions directly, and focused landing pages. That pattern shapes what we build for every client.

Site features observed alongside these results

  • One product line per page — blotting paper, natural blotting paper, acne patch, sheet mask each have their own URL
  • Numbers in text — MOQ (3,000 units per SKU), materials and formats written out, not only in images
  • Buyer guides — "oil blotting paper OEM manufacturers in China: a 2026 guide", "best pimple patch manufacturers"
  • Stated evidence — ISO 22716 and brand audits named explicitly
  • Consistent entity — the same company name and domain on every page and listing
  • Answer-first writing — the first paragraph answers the buyer's question

What did not work — yet

  • On 26 September, a close variant of the acne-patch prompt (without "for a US skincare brand") returned five other suppliers on ChatGPT. Same engine, similar question, different answer.
  • For sheet masks, ChatGPT placed Yanse fourth and Perplexity did not list it; Skincraftlab led on both. Sheet masks are a crowded category with strong competitor content.
  • Next: dedicated sheet-mask comparison content, more third-party listings, and monthly re-tests of all three prompts.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Yanse featured as a primary case study?
Yanse Cosmetics is affiliated with BeautyGEO (a commercial relationship we disclose) and was the first factory we tested the method on. This page publishes extracted rankings, exact prompts, dates and cited-page references, including missed mentions. Full original API responses are not currently linked publicly; these tables are summaries.
Can I check these results myself?
Yes. Every prompt is printed verbatim above. Answers vary between sessions, so expect some differences — which is exactly why we re-test on a schedule rather than relying on one screenshot.
Would the same approach work for my category?
The mechanics transfer; the competition differs. Oil blotting paper has few specialised suppliers with strong websites. Sheet masks have many — and there Yanse was fourth on ChatGPT and absent on Perplexity.
