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 skincare contract manufacturing, audit incoming raw material certificates of analysis (CoA) for active ingredients and preservatives.
- In-process, verify pH stability at 30-minute intervals during mixing and pump torque variance testing for packaging compatibility.
- Finished goods require microbial testing (challenge tests, total count), stability testing at 25°C/60% RH, and packaging integrity checks.
- Our MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU with 4-week sampling timeline.
- We provide full documentation including ISO 22716 and GMP compliance reports.
- Lead time is 8-12 weeks post-approval, with 3-day hold-time checks for microbial validation before shipping.
