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 US-bound mom and baby care products, a complete documentation pack is non-negotiable for customs and major retail/Amazon seller central listings.
- The essential quartet includes: a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying ingredients and specs; a GHS-formatted Safety Data Sheet (SDS); a full microbiological test report from a US-recognized lab (USP 61/51, PET); and a stability test report proving the formula’s integrity under claimed shelf-life conditions, often requiring accelerated testing data for a new launch.
- We bundle these as part of your production order.
- The specific stability protocol (e.g., 3-month accelerated at 40C/75% RH for a 24-month claim) and micro test panel are confirmed during R&D.
- For packaging, we conduct compatibility and leachables testing, especially for pump components in lotions, to prevent plasticizer migration into the formula—a common failure point for baby products.
- We manage the entire testing timeline, typically adding 8-12 weeks for stability data before final production release, and provide all notarized documents in English for your border clearance and platform audits.
