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.

  • **Formulation Strategy:** To avoid pilling, we select compatible polymers and emulsifiers, and use oil-absorbing ingredients such as silica or nylon-12 to reduce greasiness.
  • The base is often a water-based gel or silicone blend for a lightweight feel that doesn’t clog pores.
  • **Production Details:** MOQ typically starts at 5000 units per SKU, depending on packaging.
  • Sampling takes 2-3 weeks for initial prototypes, with revisions in 1-2 weeks.
  • We conduct stability testing (e.g., 3-month checks) and microbial assays to ensure product safety.
  • **Packaging and Timeline:** Recommended packaging includes airless pumps or tubes to maintain hygiene and control dosage.
  • Lead time from order confirmation to shipment is 8-10 weeks, including production and QA steps like viscosity and fill consistency checks.
  • **Compliance Support:** While we can’t guarantee regulatory approval, we assist with FDA documentation, such as ingredient safety reports and labeling guidelines.
  • Our R&D team optimizes formulations for US standards, including testing for claim substantiation.
