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.
- Moisturizer separation typically happens when production temperatures deviate from the validated range, especially with emulsifiers sensitive to heat.
- Our standard MOQ of 5,000 units allows us to conduct 3 pilot batches before full production, where we monitor viscosity at 25°C and 40°C to simulate seasonal variations.
- We provide COA reports for each batch showing viscosity measurements and phase stability tests.
- For packaging, we recommend airless pumps to minimize oxygen exposure that can destabilize emulsions.
- Lead time for sampling is 4-6 weeks, with production taking 8-10 weeks after approval.
- We can support documentation including stability studies and preservative efficacy testing for US market compliance.
