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.
- Start with a 3-5 kg pilot to confirm viscosity, pH, preservative efficacy and dropper/pump compatibility; expect 10-15 working days after formula approval.
- For bulk, MOQ is usually driven by active ingredient minimum purchase, homogenizer batch size and packaging run length, so 50-100 kg is a practical first commercial scale for many eye serums, with lower MOQ possible only if you accept stock components and shared production slots.
- Before scale-up, run a 3-batch process validation or at least one engineering batch at target batch size, checking fill weight, torque, leakage and label adhesion.
- Eye serums are sensitive to microbial hold time and preservative challenge results, so do not release bulk until micro, stability and compatibility results are complete.
- For Middle East Amazon/Gulf retail, plan packaging for humid season: label bubbling, carton warp and air-freight pressure leakage are common; use induction seals, leak tests and transit trials.
- Documentation can include COA, MSDS, stability summary, microbial/preservative challenge reports and ingredient compliance support; we can support testing and documents but cannot guarantee regulatory approval.
- Commercial lead time after PO and artwork approval is typically 25-35 working days for bulk plus 5-10 days for QA release, with sea freight adding 20-35 days.
Buyer outcome
