How do you formulate a body scrub with good exfoliation that does not cause micro-tears?

Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

• The key to preventing micro-tears is selecting exfoliants with smooth, spherical shapes that roll over the skin, such as biodegradable jojoba beads or polyethylene particles, and avoiding sharp materials like crushed shells.
• We control particle size below 150 microns and blend with emollients like oils or butters to cushion the exfoliation, ensuring a balanced formula that exfoliates effectively without irritation.
• This is backed by in-house R&D testing for skin compatibility.
• From an OEM/ODM perspective, we conduct in-vitro skin irritation tests and particle abrasiveness assessments to validate safety, and can provide documentation for ASEAN Cosmetic Directive compliance in SEA markets.
• MOQ typically starts at 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling available in 2-3 weeks for prototypes.
• Production lead time is 4-6 weeks post-approval, and we support with packaging options like tubes or jars resistant to humidity, along with microbial testing and stability reports for shelf-life assurance.
