Yangzhou Xiefuchun was the first cosmetics company in China and first opened in 1830.

It is famous for three products: duck-egg (shaped like little eggs) powder, scented hair oil and scented bags. The colorful "eggs" were threaded on strings that contained eggs for lipstick, rouge, foundation and other essentials. Ladies sometimes wore bracelets of colorful eggs, so they could fix their makeup anywhere.

The products were used by the royal families of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and received the silver award for products in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915.
