Specs to Align (So We Can Quote & Develop Fast)
To ensure your inquiry is accurate, we tailor our development process around the same decision points used by most of our clients:
- 1、Positioning: repair, anti-dandruff direction, smooth/shine, volume, scalp balance, color care
- 2、Texture & sensorial targets: slip level, foam profile, quick-rinse, non-greasy finish
- 3、Fragrance: scented or fragrance-free (stability/compatibility checked accordingly)
- 4、Ingredient direction: sulfate-free, silicone-free, botanical direction (where applicable)
- 5、Packaging: bottle + pump/flip-top, tube, jar, dropper, travel sizes, sets
- 6、Channel requirements: Amazon/FBA labeling, retail cartons, salon line consistency
MOQ & Lead Time Examples
MOQ and lead time depend primarily on packaging components (stock vs custom) and how close your target formula is to an existing base. The table below helps buyers from various countries estimate various scenarios before sending a full briefing.
| Scenario | SKUs | Packaging | Typical MOQ (per SKU) | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Startup test launch | 1–2 | Stock bottle + custom label | 1,000–3,000 units | 4–8 weeks |
| Amazon/FBA-ready set | 3–5 | Stock packaging + carton + barcode | 2,000–5,000 units | 6–10 weeks |
| Retail / salon line | 6–10 | Custom components (as needed) | 5,000+ units (varies by component) | 8–14+ weeks |
Practical note: we can often start with stock packaging to validate sell-through, then move to custom components when reorder cadence is stable.

Common Customer Questions in Different Countries
These are common questions procurement teams and founders ask before sending samples or POs:
Can you support Amazon-ready packaging and labeling?
Yes—component options, carton planning, and barcode/FNSKU placement guidance can be coordinated for FBA workflows.
How do you handle formula confidentiality and IP?
We can work under NDA and keep your project brief, formula direction, and artwork files restricted to the assigned team.
What documents can you provide for import and retail operations?
Typical support includes INCI layout guidance, basic product specs, and testing plans as needed (scope varies by market/channel).
Can you develop fragrance-free options that still feel premium?
Yes—texture and sensorial targets can be designed for a premium feel; we validate stability and compatibility accordingly.
How do you reduce leakage/compatibility issues?
We prioritize component matching, compatibility checks, and packaging integrity considerations early—before mass production.
What is the communication workflow during sampling?
A clear brief → 1–3 initial sample options → 1–2 feedback iterations → golden sample lock before mass production.

Hair Care FAQs
What documents do European buyers typically request for private label hair care (COA, SDS, stability, micro)?
European buyers for private label hair care typically request a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), stability test reports, and microbiological test reports. These documents ensure EU regulatory compliance and product quality assurance.
What EU labeling elements are required for shampoo and conditioner (INCI, PAO, batch, warnings)?
For shampoos and conditioners in the EU, mandatory labeling includes INCI list, PAO symbol with duration if under 30 months, batch code, and applicable warnings. We ensure compliance during production and support with documentation.
What information should I send in an RFQ to get an accurate quote for private label hair care (USA)?
Send market details, SKU specs, packaging direction, claims boundary, target cost, and launch date for accurate hair care quotes.
Can you produce salon-grade hair masks for the U.S., and what specs should be locked early?
Yes, we produce salon-grade hair masks for the US. Lock specs early: pH 4.5-5.5, viscosity 8,000-12,000 cP, and 12-month stability.
Which packaging choices are most “Amazon-safe” for conditioners and hair masks (jar vs tube vs pump)?
Pump bottles are most Amazon-safe for conditioners and hair masks due to leak prevention and consumer preference.
What’s the best way to lower unit cost for shampoo without downgrading perceived quality (packaging levers)?
Focus on packaging material upgrades and pump design changes to reduce costs while maintaining premium feel. Our MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU.
How do you control fragrance consistency batch-to-batch for hair care private label (USA buyers)?
We use GC-MS analysis, standardized blending protocols, and batch tracing to ensure fragrance consistency across all hair care products for US private label clients.
What’s the MOQ and lead time difference between a standard shampoo and an anti-dandruff OTC shampoo?
Standard shampoo MOQ is 3,000 units with 8-week lead time; anti-dandruff OTC requires 5,000 units and 12 weeks due to additional testing.
