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 clean beauty formulas, we conduct preservative efficacy testing (PET) at three stages: development, stability, and accelerated conditions.
- Our MOQ of 5,000 units allows for comprehensive testing before full production.
- We maintain pH between 5.0-5.5 for optimal preservative performance, as higher pH increases microbial risk.
- Sampling takes 4-6 weeks, including 3-week stability testing.
- We validate packaging compatibility through challenge testing with airless pumps to prevent contamination.
- Lead time for production is 8-10 weeks after final approval, with documentation support for US FDA compliance.
