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.
- For oxidation control in retinol eye cream, we typically recommend (1) opaque airless pumps (best oxygen barrier + dosing control) or (2) laminated/aluminum tubes with a small orifice, plus an outer carton for light shielding.
- We also manage headspace by filling to the correct shoulder height and, where needed, nitrogen purging before capping to reduce dissolved/entrapped oxygen.
- For US brands, we’ll align packaging with practical compliance needs (lot coding, tamper-evident, INCI list format), while avoiding any promise of regulatory approval.
- On the manufacturing side, we run packaging compatibility and basic packaging checks (e.g., leakage, pump function) and can support third-party testing and documentation such as COA, stability/compatibility support files, and micro-related testing workflow.
- MOQ is usually 1,000-3,000 pcs depending on formula and packaging complexity.
- Lead times: bulk production is commonly 10-20 working days after final sample approval; packaging ordering is 10-30 working days (e.g., tube 15 days, glass bottle 15 days, acrylic bottle up to 30 days; single box 15 days).
- For a full one-stop brand launch, plan about 45-60 days from concept to delivery.
Buyer outcome
A launch-ready compliance plan: inputs collected, roles assigned, and update cadence defined.
