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.

  • We start with mineral UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, then customize iron oxide pigments to create shades from olive to deep tan that align with Middle East skin tones.
  • Our R&D uses color-matching tools and local feedback for accuracy, with lab samples ready in 4-6 weeks for shade testing.
  • Key details include MOQ starting at 10,000 units per SKU to balance cost, SPF/PA and high-temperature stability testing for regional climate, and packaging in airless pumps or tubes to prevent separation.
  • We support documentation like test reports for GCC regulatory submissions, but approval depends on local authorities.
  • Production lead time is 8-10 weeks after final sample approval, with QA checks for consistency and microbial safety throughout.
