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 packaging, leaks from pumps or airless bottles are a top return driver in the UK, especially if seals fail during transport or storage.
- We control this by testing torque variance and humidity resistance pre-production.
- Formula pitfalls include skin irritation or separation; stability issues like color change can trigger refunds under UK consumer law.
- We recommend pilot batches and microbial hold-time checks.
- Key details: MOQs start at 5k units for custom packaging; sampling takes 3-4 weeks with stability testing; lead time is 8-12 weeks post-approval.
- We support UKCA documentation and batch testing, but final regulatory approval is your responsibility.
- For packaging, ensure drop tests and fill accuracy; for formulas, specify all ingredient claims to avoid non-compliance.
