Sunscreen OEM/ODM FAQs (SPF Testing, Water Resistance, Packaging & QA)

US sunscreen labels require specific FDA-compliant language. For directions, use ‘Apply liberally and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure’ and ‘Reapply at least every 2 hours.’ For water resistance, state either ‘Water Resistant (40 minutes)’ or ‘Water Resistant (80 minutes)’ based on testing results. We provide SPF testing documentation and can help draft compliant label […]

For US retail compliance and theft prevention, we implement multi-layered packaging solutions. Primary packaging includes child-resistant caps meeting ASTM F963 standards, paired with tamper-evident shrink bands that break upon opening. Cartons feature security slits and serialized batch numbers. Our MOQ is 3,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 10-14 days. We provide ASTM F963 testing […]

We manufacture tinted mineral sunscreen for the US market with MOQ starting at 5,000 units per SKU. Our pigment dispersion process uses high-shear mixing with zirconia beads to prevent settling, though we recommend 3-4 sampling rounds to perfect color matching. For US compliance, we can support SPF testing and provide documentation for FDA registration. Packaging […]

For a small pilot order without custom molds, we recommend using our stock packaging options and standard sunscreen formulations.

SPF 50 formulations typically require 20-30% higher concentrations of UV filters like avobenzone and octocrylene, plus additional photostabilizers such as diethylhexyl syringylidene malonate to prevent degradation.
