What kind of factory is better for moisturizing face cream processing and how to judge its strength

To select a suitable moisturizing face cream processing and OEM factory, its strength, qualification and service ability need to be comprehensively evaluated. The following are key judgment dimensions and suggestions:

1、 Dimension of core strength judgment

Qualification and Certification

Essential qualifications: Cosmetics Production License (such as China's "Cosmetics Production License"), GMPC (International Cosmetics Production Standard), ISO 22716 (Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics).

Bonus points: ECOCERT (organic certification), FDA registration (export to the US market), halal certification, etc., to meet specific market needs.

R&D and formulation capabilities

Independent R&D team: Can we provide mature formulas (such as moisturizing, anti allergic, antioxidant, etc.), or customize formulas according to needs (such as natural ingredients, specific skin type adaptation).

Technical reserve: Whether one has mastered core processes such as emulsification technology and sustained-release technology, and whether they can solve product stability issues (such as delamination and discoloration) or skin sensation problems.

Production equipment and processes

Advanced equipment: fully automatic emulsification tank, vacuum homogenizer, sterile filling line, etc., ensuring product homogeneity and hygiene standards.

Process maturity: Whether familiar with the production process of different dosage forms (such as cream, milk, gel), and whether able to handle difficult formulas (such as preservative free formulas).

Quality Control System

Full process testing: raw material incoming inspection (such as microbiological and heavy metal), semi-finished product stability testing, and finished product efficacy verification (such as moisture retention rate testing).

Third party testing: whether authoritative reports (such as SGS, Intertek) are provided to ensure compliance and safety.

Compliance and filing capability

Regulatory familiarity: Familiar with target market regulations (such as China's "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics", EU CPNP filing, and US FDA requirements).

Filing support: Whether to handle non-specific filing, ingredient safety assessment, label review, etc., to reduce customer compliance risks.

2、 Assessment of Cooperation Potential

Capacity and flexibility

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Suitable for start-up brands (such as 10000-30000 units) or medium to large orders (over 100000 units).

Delivery cycle: Regular products take 30-45 days. Can urgent orders be expedited (to confirm if it affects quality).

Supply chain stability

Raw material source: Whether to cooperate with well-known suppliers (such as BASF, Dexin) to ensure raw material quality and supply continuity.

Risk resistance capability: Is there an emergency plan in place (such as alternative raw materials, backup production lines).

Collaboration Cases and Reputation

Industry endorsement: Whether you have served well-known brands (such as domestic first-line or overseas customers), you can request case references.

Field visit: Observe the factory environment, warehouse management, and employee operational norms to evaluate the level of implicit management.

3、 Cost effectiveness and service added value

Cost transparency

Quotation structure: Clearly define formula fees, processing fees, packaging fees, testing fees, etc., to avoid implicit charges.

Scale effect: Can large orders reduce unit price (such as discounts for orders over 100000 units).

value-added services

One stop service: packaging design, copywriting planning, logistics support (such as dropshipping and warehousing).

Market adaptation: Can you provide trend analysis (such as popular ingredients, packaging design) to help differentiate the brand.

4、 Decision recommendations

Start up brands: Priority should be given to small and medium-sized factories with low MOQ, flexible services (such as providing basic formulas), and controllable costs.

Mid to high end brands: mature factories that focus on research and development capabilities (exclusive patented formulas), rigorous quality inspections (such as efficacy reports), and compliance support (cross-border filing).

Export requirements: Confirm whether the factory has export qualifications (such as ISO, FDA), is familiar with target country regulations, and avoids customs clearance risks.

5、 Guide to Avoiding Pits

Be wary of excessive promises, such as "7-day shipping" or "ultra-low prices," which may sacrifice quality or compliance.

Verification and testing report: It is required to provide recent third-party testing results of similar products to ensure the authenticity of the data.

Contract details: Clearly define intellectual property ownership (such as customized formulas), quality dispute resolution clauses, and breach of contract responsibilities.

By filtering through the above dimensions, high-quality factories that match brand positioning, budget, and market demand can be found. Suggest comparing 3-5 factories in the early stage and conducting on-site inspections before making a decision.
