How do you prevent baby lotion separation, thinning, or graininess over shelf life?

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.

• Baby lotion instability like separation or graininess typically stems from poor emulsification, ingredient interactions, or storage stress.
• Our formulations incorporate HLB-balanced emulsifiers and rheology modifiers to maintain homogeneity, with accelerated stability testing at 25°C, 40°C, and through freeze-thaw cycles for 3 months to predict real-time performance.
• For MOQ, it starts at 5,000 units per SKU, driven by custom packaging and formula complexity.
• Sampling takes 2-3 weeks for prototypes, followed by pilot batches for validation.
• We perform in-process QA checks on viscosity and fill temperature, along with microbial testing and pH verification, providing TDS and COA documents.
• Packaging is selected to prevent leakage, such as airless pumps for sensitive formulas.
• Lead time from order to shipment is 6-8 weeks, including production and final QA.
• We assist with documentation for FDA compliance under 21 CFR, but regulatory approval remains the brand’s responsibility.
