Hair Regrowth Topical Lotion

European buyers for private label hair care products commonly require specific documents for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. The Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirms each batch meets ingredient and performance specifications. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is mandatory under EU CLP regulations for safe handling and transport. Stability test reports, often covering 3-6 months under controlled conditions, prove product shelf life. Microbiological test reports verify the absence of contaminants, essential for consumer safety. In our factory workflow, we integrate testing early to avoid delays. For example, stability testing typically takes 3 months, so we recommend starting during sampling. Microbiological tests are quicker, around 2 weeks, but require final production samples. Concrete details: MOQ for hair care starts at 3,000 units per SKU, influencing batch testing costs. Sampling timeline is 4-6 weeks for formula and packaging approval. Lead time for full production with documents is 8-12 weeks after approval. We support all testing and documentation preparation, but final market approval depends on specific EU member state requirements.

Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, shampoo and conditioner labels must display INCI ingredients in descending order, PAO symbol with months if shelf life after opening is under 30 months, batch code for traceability, and warnings like 'avoid contact with eyes'. We review these elements during the sampling stage to prevent rework. Our MOQ for hair care is typically 10,000 units per SKU, which optimizes label printing costs and ensures batch consistency. Sampling takes 3-4 weeks, including label design approval and initial compliance checks. For testing, we conduct microbial hold-time tests and label adhesion tests under humid conditions to prevent bubbling. We provide technical documentation support, such as Product Information Files (PIF), but do not guarantee regulatory approval as final compliance rests with the brand. Packaging must fit label dimensions precisely; we recommend airless pumps or tubes to reduce leakage risks during shipping. Lead time for production is 8-10 weeks after sampling, with an additional 1-2 weeks for custom label printing. We advise sharing target launch dates early to align with QA checkpoints and document submission timelines.

For accurate hair care RFQs, include your US market/channel details, complete SKU list with formats/sizes, and packaging direction. Specify claims boundary and target cost band. We need launch date to assess feasibility. MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU with sampling in 4-6 weeks. We support documentation and testing for FDA compliance. Lead time is 8-12 weeks post-sampling approval. Packaging must fit our filling equipment—provide samples or CAD files. Include any existing compliance documents or certifications.

We manufacture salon-grade hair masks for the US market with MOQ starting at 3,000 units per SKU. For sampling, expect 4-6 weeks from formula lock to delivery. We conduct pH, viscosity, and microbial testing, plus stability studies at 25°C/60% RH. Packaging should include airless pumps to prevent oxidation. Lead time for production is 8-10 weeks after approval. We support documentation including ingredient lists, safety assessments, and test reports, but regulatory approval remains your responsibility.

Pump bottles are the most Amazon-safe choice for conditioners and hair masks, as they minimize leakage risks during transit and meet Amazon's packaging requirements. Our MOQ for custom pump bottles is 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 2-3 weeks including drop testing. We provide ISTA 6-FAM testing reports to simulate Amazon fulfillment conditions. Tubes are viable but require specific seal strength validation to prevent bursting. Jars are generally not recommended due to potential breakage and higher return rates. Lead time for production-ready packaging is 8-10 weeks from final design approval. We can support documentation for child-resistant caps if required for certain formulations.

For US hair care brands, we recommend switching from glass to PET bottles with metallic finish labels - this saves 30-40% on packaging while maintaining shelf appeal. Consider upgrading to airless pumps instead of flip caps, which reduces product waste and allows for smaller fill volumes. Our MOQ for shampoo is 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 2-3 weeks including stability testing. We provide full documentation for US FDA compliance and can adjust lead times based on packaging complexity. For Amazon sellers, we've found that matte finishes and embossed logos create perceived value without premium material costs. Testing includes pump torque validation to prevent leakage during transit, which is critical for FBA shipments.

Our fragrance control starts with GC-MS fingerprinting of every fragrance batch before production. We maintain a master reference profile for each scent and compare every incoming batch against this standard. For hair care formulations, we blend fragrances in temperature-controlled rooms (22±2°C) with automated mixing to ensure uniform dispersion. Each production batch undergoes headspace GC analysis to verify fragrance concentration within ±2% of target. We provide full documentation including GC chromatograms and batch traceability reports for your quality assurance records. For US private label clients, we recommend a minimum order of 1,000 units per SKU to maintain batch consistency, with sampling lead time of 10-14 days including fragrance verification testing.

Standard shampoo production has a lower MOQ of 3,000 units with an 8-week lead time from PO confirmation. Anti-dandruff OTC shampoos require a higher MOQ of 5,000 units and 12 weeks lead time due to additional FDA-required testing and documentation. For OTC products, we conduct stability testing, efficacy validation, and complete dossiers for FDA registration. Packaging must include proper OTC labeling and child-resistant closures if required. Sampling takes 4-6 weeks for standard formulas but 6-8 weeks for OTC due to additional safety testing. We can support all documentation but cannot guarantee regulatory approval as that remains the brand's responsibility.
