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.
- Fragrance-free does not mean colorless or odorless.
- In bulk eye creams, discoloration and off-odor usually come from lipid/active oxidation, trace metals, pH drift, or heat during storage and Middle East transit.
- We review chelators/antioxidants, set raw-material color and peroxide specs, and check fragrance-free raw materials for odor carryover plus line-cleaning clearance.
- Sampling typically takes 10-15 working days after formula and pack approval; pilot/bulk release then follows a 4-6 week accelerated stability and pack-compatibility gate, with microbial, challenge, and patch-test documentation supported through third-party labs where required.
- MOQ guidance is often 3,000-5,000 units per SKU for custom eye care, while selected standard fragrance-free bases may start lower.
- Packaging is critical: opaque airless bottles or laminated tubes reduce light/air ingress, and we verify liner compatibility, headspace, and leak risk before bulk fill.
- Production lead time is commonly 25-35 days after approved sample, documents, and deposit, plus transit.
- We can support COA, MSDS, INCI, stability and compatibility records; final market compliance remains the brand owner’s responsibility.
