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 water-based skincare products like toners, essences, and gel moisturizers, we perform comprehensive microbiology testing including total aerobic count, yeast & mold, and specific pathogen testing for E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa.
  • Our testing follows USP and standards with a 14-day hold time before testing to ensure accurate results.
  • We provide full documentation including COA reports with each batch, and our MOQ of 3,000 units allows for proper testing protocols.
  • Sampling typically takes 4-6 weeks including testing, and we recommend adding 2 weeks to production lead time for microbiology validation before shipping.
