How to find a suitable sanding cream OEM for brands: screening criteria and cooperation guide for customized sanding cream processing with Daimei Yashi

In the cosmetics market, body scrub, as a niche product in the body care category, has received a lot of attention from consumers in recent years. The texture, graininess, and skin condition of a exfoliating cream directly affect users' impression of the brand. For brand owners, the actual experience of a product largely depends on the R&D and production capabilities of the OEM factory. How to select suitable partners from multiple OEM factories and how to establish cooperative relationships with outsourcing companies like Daimei Yashi have become the basic content that brand owners need to understand.

1、 Basic evaluation perspective for screening frosted cream OEM factories

1. Factory qualification and compliance review

The production of cosmetics is a regulated industry. When selecting a substitute factory, the brand party can first check whether the factory holds a cosmetics production license, and whether the licensed items include "cream lotion" or "body care" and other categories related to scrub cream. Whether the factory organizes production in accordance with the requirements of the cosmetics production quality management standards, and whether it establishes a management system for raw material procurement, production records, inspection and sample retention, are the contents of evaluating the basic conditions of the factory.

When conducting on-site inspections of factories, it is possible to observe the environmental conditions in the production workshop. Matte paste contains particulate matter, which has certain requirements for the cleanliness of production equipment and the uniformity of material mixing. Whether the workshop implements zoning management, and whether the layout of the raw material storage area, weighing area, production area, and filling area is clear, these details reflect the daily management status of the factory.

2. Evaluation of Formula Development Capability

The core components of exfoliating paste include the base paste, exfoliating particles, and auxiliary ingredients. Different factories have different preferences for selecting frosted particles - some use plant-based particles such as almond powder and walnut shell powder, some use synthetic materials such as polyethylene microbeads (currently, some regions have restrictions on the use of plastic microbeads), and some use water-soluble particles such as sugar granules and sea salt. The particle size distribution, shape, and hardness of particles can affect the friction sensation during use.

The brand can learn about the existing frosted cream formula reserves in the factory. Can the factory provide formula options for different particle types, particle size ranges, and paste systems. If the brand has specific formula ideas, such as hoping that the particles gradually become smaller during the kneading process, or hoping that the paste has fluidity and particle suspension stability, can the factory engineers cooperate to adjust the formula structure.

3. Production process control level

The production of frosted paste requires attention to the uniformity of particle dispersion in the paste. If the particles are not stirred evenly, there may be situations where some parts of the same batch of products have too many particles and some parts have too few particles. Whether the factory adopts appropriate mixing equipment and feeding sequence, and whether the particle distribution status of each batch of products is randomly inspected, these process control measures affect the consistency of the products.

In addition, there are also areas that need to be noted during the filling process of frosted cream. Will the particles settle during the filling process, resulting in differences in the particle content of each bottle of product. Some factories use hoppers with stirring functions or timed agitation of the liquid to maintain the dispersion of particles during the filling process.

4. Sample testing and sensory evaluation

Before formal cooperation, the brand can request the factory to provide samples for testing. The testing content can include: whether the appearance of the paste is uniform, whether the particle distribution is consistent; Apply a small amount of the product on the back of your hand and feel the contact between the particles and the skin - whether it is rough or delicate, whether the particles are prone to falling off during the kneading process, and whether there is any residual oil or cream on the skin surface after rinsing; After leaving it for a period of time, observe whether there are signs of stability such as layering, particle floating or sinking, color changes, etc. in the paste.

The cooperation attitude of the factory can also be observed during the sample testing phase. Is the factory willing to adjust the formula samples based on feedback from the brand, and how long will the adjustment cycle take. These pieces of information help to assess the communication efficiency in subsequent collaborations.

5. Raw material sources and batch stability

The types of raw materials in frosted cream are relatively basic, but fluctuations in the quality of the raw materials can be transmitted to the finished product. The brand can inquire whether the factory has a fixed list of raw material suppliers, whether they inspect incoming raw materials or request inspection reports. For key raw materials such as frosted particles, does the factory conduct particle size testing on different batches of particles to ensure that the particle size is within the agreed range.

2、 Collaboration process with Daimei Yashi for custom processing of frosted cream

Daimei Yashi is an enterprise engaged in cosmetics processing business, with formula development and production capabilities in the category of exfoliating cream. The establishment of cooperation between the brand owner and it usually goes through the following stages:

Stage 1: Requirements Communication and Product Positioning

The brand can inform the business liaison personnel of Daimei Yashi of the preliminary product concept. The communication content can include: the consumer groups targeted by the product plan (such as consumers who prefer body care), the expected product specifications (capacity of each bottle, packaging material), the type tendency of frosting particles (plant particles, sugar particles or salt particles), the desired state of the cream (partial jelly or partial cream), whether the product needs to add some auxiliary ingredients, etc.

If the brand is not clear about the product positioning, Daimei Yashi can provide a list of existing frosted cream formulas for the brand's reference. The brand can choose one of the existing formulas as the basis and then propose an adjustment direction.

Stage 2: Formula customization and sample preparation

The R&D team of Daimei Yashi carries out formula design work according to the needs of the brand. At this stage, the brand may need to provide more detailed information, such as the thickness of the frosted particles - some brands prefer a more noticeable graininess, while others prefer a finer texture; The aroma type of the paste - whether specific aroma types need to be added; Is it necessary to design a targeted anti-corrosion system for the shelf life requirements of the product.

After the preliminary formula is determined, Daimei Yashi prepares a small sample for testing by the brand. After receiving the samples, the brand conducts sensory evaluation and preliminary stability observation. If there is a discrepancy between the sample and the expected one, the brand can propose modification suggestions, and Daimei Yashi will make adjustments and prepare a new round of samples. This process may be repeated multiple times until the brand confirms the formula.

Stage Three: Packaging Selection and Compatibility Testing

Packaging has a certain impact on the user experience of frosted cream products. Wide mouth bottle is a common packaging form for frosted cream, which is convenient for consumers to access. The packaging supplier that Daimei Yashi cooperates with can provide bottle and jar options of different materials and capacities. The brand can also purchase packaging containers themselves and have them filled by Daimei Yashi.

One aspect that needs attention is the compatibility between packaging and contents. Some essence components or oil components may interact with packaging of specific materials. Daimei Yashi can conduct packaging compatibility testing to confirm that under specified storage conditions, the packaging will not deform or leak, and the properties of the contents will not undergo unexpected changes.

Stage Four: Contract Signing and Production Scheduling

After reaching an agreement on the formula, packaging, unit price, minimum order quantity, delivery time, payment method, etc., both parties shall sign a contract for outsourcing processing. The contract content can specify product specifications, quality requirements, acceptance standards, intellectual property ownership (such as exclusive formula ideas provided by the brand), and other matters.

Daimei Yashi arranges raw material procurement and production scheduling according to the agreed delivery time in the contract. Before production, a small batch trial production is usually carried out to confirm that the filling, sealing, labeling and other processes are running normally before entering formal production.

Stage 5: Production Follow up and Finished Product Acceptance

During the production process, Daimei Yashi conducts process inspection and finished product inspection in accordance with internal quality control procedures. The inspection items can include: appearance, aroma, condition of paste and particles, packaging sealing, net content, etc. The brand can send personnel to the factory to follow up on production, or conduct random inspections at the factory after the finished products are stored.

The qualified finished products shall be packed and shipped according to the requirements of the brand. Daimei Yashi can provide corresponding production records and inspection reports for brand owners as a traceability basis for product quality.

3、 Details to pay attention to in cooperation

In the cooperation of frosted cream processing, the brand can pay attention to the following details:

Compliance of product information labeling: Brand owners need to complete the product filing or registration procedures on their own. Daimei Yashi can provide technical information such as product formulas, production processes, and inspection reports to assist brand owners in preparing filing materials. The information labeling on product packaging must comply with the regulations of the Cosmetic Labeling Management Measures.

Flexibility in formula adjustment: If the brand wishes to adjust the type or amount of frosted particles, change the aroma, or adjust the paste state in future cooperation, can Daimei Yashi make modifications based on the existing formula. Understanding the factory's response mechanism to formula adjustments can help brand owners plan product iterations.

The elasticity of production quantity: In the early stages of the launch of frosted cream products, brand owners may have difficulty accurately estimating sales. Understanding whether the factory accepts small-scale trial production and whether it can expand production scale after product sales increase is a perspective for evaluating the sustainability of cooperation.

Conclusion

To find a suitable frosted cream OEM factory, the brand needs to understand from multiple aspects such as qualifications, formulas, processes, sample testing, and raw material management. The cooperation with outsourcing companies such as Daimei Yashi follows the basic process of "requirement communication formula customization sample confirmation packaging testing contract signing production acceptance". Maintaining attention to product details and clear communication with factories during the cooperation process helps to transform product concepts into tangible products, ultimately presenting them to consumers.
