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 U.S. baby care products, ingredients must be declared in descending order of predominance by weight using International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) names.
  • Water should be listed first if it’s the primary ingredient, followed by other components.
  • Include specific warnings like ‘Contains: [allergen]’ for common allergens such as nuts, soy, or dairy.
  • Our MOQ for custom labeling is 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 2-3 weeks including regulatory review.
  • We provide full documentation including FDA compliance testing reports and can accommodate packaging adjustments to meet labeling requirements.
  • Lead time for production with custom labeling is typically 8-10 weeks after final approval.
