How to find a suitable isolation cream OEM factory for brands: screening criteria and guide for cooperation with Daimei Yashi

For cosmetic brands, as a basic product in the base makeup category, the texture, long-lasting effect, and protective ability of sunscreen directly affect the consumer experience. Choosing a contract manufacturer that matches one's own positioning is a key step in product implementation. The following provides a set of actionable references from screening criteria to specific cooperation methods with Demi Yashi.

1、 Three criteria for screening isolation cream OEM factories

Qualification and Production Compliance

Check whether the factory has a cosmetics production license, and the scope of the license includes "general liquid unit" or "cream lotion unit". Request to provide third-party testing reports within the past year to confirm that the workshop environment meets the cleanliness requirements outlined in the "Cosmetic Production License Inspection Points". During on-site inspections, it is possible to observe the temperature and humidity records of the raw material warehouse, as well as the control methods of production batch numbers, which reflect the basic management level of the factory.

Formula development and sampling capabilities

Isolation cream involves technical difficulties such as color powder dispersion, sunscreen formulation, and skin sensation adjustment. Brands can provide reference samples or written requirements to factories, requiring them to complete 2-3 rounds of sampling within 2 weeks. When evaluating the sample, pay attention to the smoothness of application, the fit with subsequent base makeup, and the degree of dryness after holding the makeup for 4 hours. At the same time, inquire whether the factory has stock of raw material solutions at different price points, such as from conventional titanium dioxide to surface treated color powders, to facilitate the extension of the product line in the future.

Transparency in Mass Production and Quality Control

Confirm whether the minimum order quantity for a single batch in the factory matches the brand's first order plan. Request to view the factory inspection records of the last three batches of the same type of isolation cream, including viscosity, pH value, heat and cold resistance stability, and other indicators. In addition, inquire whether the factory retains samples of each batch of finished products and how long the observation period for the samples is - this will help trace the cause in case of quality disputes in the future.

2、 Process for customizing isolation cream in collaboration with Daimei Yashi

Daimei Yashi provides one-stop service for isolation cream from formula development to finished product delivery. Collaboration is divided into four stages:

Requirement communication: The brand provides information such as target price, makeup preference (such as matte or glossy finish), and protection requirements (whether to add sunscreen ingredients). Daimei Yashi recommends 2-3 sets of basic formula frameworks based on its own raw material library.

Sample confirmation: Daimei Yashi will deliver the sampling samples within the agreed time, and the brand will conduct internal trials and small-scale consumer testing. After each sample, a complete list of raw materials and cost calculations are attached for the brand to weigh and adjust their direction.

Contract signing and filing: After both parties confirm the formula and packaging plan, they sign a contract for commissioned processing. Daimei Yashi assists the brand in preparing the necessary formula, process, risk assessment, and other documents for product registration.

Production and delivery: Daimei Yashi arranges raw material procurement and production scheduling. During the production process, the brand can assign personnel to participate in on-site inspections of key nodes, such as intermediate testing after emulsification homogenization and confirmation of the first piece of filling.

3、 Cooperation precautions

It is recommended that the brand request to jointly seal a set of standard samples with Daimei Yashi before the first batch of orders, as a reference for subsequent batch comparisons. After the packaging materials arrive at the factory, personnel are arranged to randomly select the packaging materials for sealing testing to prevent moisture evaporation or oxidation of the contents caused by packaging problems.

There is no single answer to the choice of a contract manufacturer, but through qualification verification, sample evaluation, and production process intervention, the brand can reduce cooperation risks. The customized path provided by Daimei Yashi is suitable for brands who want to control the quality of isolation cream from the research and development end, but do not want to build their own production line.
