OEM factory processing cooperation process of anthocyanin essence

Looking for OEM factories for processing cooperation for anthocyanin essence solution requires taking into account formula technology, production compliance, ingredient stability and supply chain efficiency. The following is a detailed cooperation process and key considerations to help efficiently implement products:

1、 Preliminary preparation: Clarify product requirements

Core positioning

Effect claims: Antioxidant (anthocyanin clears free radicals), anti-aging, brightening skin tone, etc., must comply with the "Cosmetic Effect Claim Specification".

Ingredient concentration: Clearly identify the source of anthocyanins (such as grape seed extract, blueberry extract) and the amount added (recommended 0.5%~2%, balance efficacy and stability).

Technical requirements

Formula requirements: Do other ingredients need to be compounded (such as VC derivatives, VE enhanced antioxidant)? Is it required to have a non corrosive/low irritation formula?

Selection of dosage form: water-based essence, oil essence, freeze-dried powder (anthocyanins are easily oxidized, and freeze-dried form can extend the activity).

Package Design

Light resistant packaging: Anthocyanins are easily degraded when exposed to light, so dark glass bottles (such as brown dropper bottles) or aluminum cans are preferred.

Sealing: The factory is required to provide an antioxidant test report (such as the retention rate of active ingredients after opening).

2、 Core indicators for screening OEM factories

Anthocyanin related experience

Factories with antioxidant essence production cases are preferred, and stability reports of similar products (such as high temperature/light test) are required.

Qualifications and Compliance

The factory needs to hold a "Cosmetics Production License" and ensure that the anthocyanin raw materials comply with the "Catalogue of Used Cosmetics Raw Materials" (such as grape seed extract number 16474).

Technical capabilities

Antioxidant technology: Does it have techniques such as nano encapsulation and liposomes to protect anthocyanin activity?

Testing equipment: HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) is used to detect anthocyanin content and ensure batch consistency.

2. Formula confirmation and sampling

ODM mode: Select the existing antioxidant formula library in the factory, adjust the anthocyanin concentration and compound composition.

Joint development: If an exclusive formula is required, optimize it together with the factory laboratory.

Key tests:

Stability testing: Observe for discoloration and delamination under high temperature (40 ℃± 2 ℃), low temperature (-5 ℃± 2 ℃), and light exposure (4500LX).

Skin texture test: Recruit volunteers to test stickiness and absorption speed.

3. Contract signing and filing

Key points of contract terms:

Intellectual Property: Ownership of the agreed formula (if it is an ODM formula, the factory may retain the right to use it).

Quality terms: The deviation of anthocyanin content is ≤± 5%, and the microbiological indicators comply with the "Technical Specification for Cosmetic Safety".

Filing agency: factories or third-party organizations assist in completing product filing.

4. Customization and production of packaging materials

Packaging material scheme:

Low cost solution: Use the existing light shielding bottle type in the factory and only customize labels;

High end solution: custom bottle body with mold opening and exclusive gift box.

Production cycle:

After sample confirmation, the mass production cycle is about 15-25 days (including filling, packaging, and quality inspection).

5. Quality inspection and delivery

Factory self inspection: Provide microbiological, pH, and anthocyanin content testing reports for each batch.

Third party inspection: It is recommended to sample and submit to SGS and other institutions for verification of antioxidant efficacy.

Delivery form: Factory direct delivery or warehouse custody can be selected (logistics costs need to be negotiated).

4、 Cost control and risk avoidance

risk aversion

Ingredient deactivation: The factory is required to add antioxidants (such as ethylhexylglycerin) and package in a dark place.

Filing risk: Avoid claiming prohibited words such as "whitening" and "treatment", and ensure that the efficacy report is consistent with the claim.

Inventory risk: 70% of the estimated sales volume for the first production order, and flexible replenishment based on the turnover rate.

Key Summary

Technology priority: Choose factories with experience in anthocyanin processing to ensure the stability of active ingredients.

Compliance bottom line: Strictly follow the requirements for cosmetics filing to avoid confusion with drugs/brands.

Take small steps and run quickly: Verify the market through small-scale trial production to reduce inventory risks.
