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.

  • We recommend accelerated stability testing at 40°C and 75% relative humidity for 3 months to simulate SEA’s harsh conditions, focusing on viscosity shifts, phase separation, and preservative efficacy in body care formulas like lotions or scrubs.
  • Real-time testing over 6-12 months under ambient storage validates shelf life and detects issues like color fading or odor changes specific to humidity.
  • For MOQ, body care typically starts at 10,000 units per SKU, but we can adjust based on packaging type—e.g., pumps or tubes—which affects cost and lead time.
  • Sampling takes 4-6 weeks, where we provide batches for your approval and conduct in-house tests including pH, viscosity, and microbial counts.
  • We support with documentation like stability reports and CoAs, but regulatory approval in SEA markets remains your responsibility; we ensure packaging is sealed and humidity-resistant to prevent leakage or label bubbling.
  • Production lead time is 8-12 weeks post-sample approval, factoring in testing windows and compliance checks for smooth launch.
