Sunscreen Stick

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 copy during sampling phase. Our MOQ starts at 3,000 units with 4-week lead time after label approval. We recommend allowing 6-8 weeks total for testing and compliance documentation before production.

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 documentation and can conduct drop tests to ensure packaging integrity during transit. Lead time for production-ready packaging is 4-6 weeks after final design approval.

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 requires airless pumps to prevent oxidation, with lead times of 45-60 days after final approval. We've encountered challenges with titanium dioxide aggregation in humid conditions, requiring additional stabilizers in our formulation.

For a small pilot order without custom molds, we recommend using our stock packaging options and standard sunscreen formulations. Our minimum order quantity for pilot runs is 500 units, allowing you to test market response with lower upfront investment. We provide comprehensive testing documentation including SPF validation, stability reports, and ingredient safety assessments. Production lead time is typically 4-6 weeks from order confirmation, with expedited options available. Our team can help you select the most suitable stock packaging that aligns with your brand positioning while ensuring compliance with FDA regulations.

We manufacture sunscreen spray and aerosol formats for the US market with a minimum order quantity of 5,000 units per SKU. Sampling typically takes 4-6 weeks including stability testing. For aerosol formats, we require additional documentation for propellant safety and compatibility testing. Our factory conducts pressure testing at 50°C for 48 hours to ensure no leakage during air freight. We can support FDA registration and SPF testing documentation but recommend consulting with regulatory specialists for final approval. Lead time for production is 8-12 weeks after sample approval.

We can develop reef-safe sunscreens for the US market with formulations free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other harmful chemicals. For claims support, we provide third-party test reports confirming absence of reef-harming ingredients and environmental impact assessments. Our MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 4-6 weeks including testing. Documentation includes COAs, stability reports, and claim substantiation files. Packaging must use UV-stable materials to prevent degradation. Lead time is 8-12 weeks after approval, with expedited options available for an additional 15% cost.

For US market sunscreen, we recommend airless pumps with 28mm necks and PET bottles with 15% headspace to accommodate thermal expansion during transit. Double-sealed caps with induction liners provide additional protection against leakage. Our MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 10-14 days including drop tests from 1.5m. We conduct pressure testing at 45°C for 72 hours and provide ISTA 3A test reports. Lead time for production is 45-60 days after packaging approval.

For sunscreen products, we strictly adhere to IFRA guidelines for fragrance usage, limiting concentrations based on the specific fragrance components and their safety profiles. In the U.S. market, we ensure all fragrances are properly listed on the ingredient label using INCI names, with additional documentation available upon request. Our MOQ for custom fragrance formulations starts at 500kg, with sampling requiring 4-6 weeks for stability and compatibility testing. We provide IFRA certificates and safety data sheets for all fragrance ingredients, with lead times extending by 2-3 weeks when custom fragrance development is involved. Packaging considerations include testing fragrance stability under UV exposure and temperature variations to prevent scent degradation or interaction with sunscreen actives.
