How can skincare brands find suitable manufacturers for lotion packaging: screening criteria and analysis of cooperation with "Daimei Yashi"

For skincare brands planning to launch water-based milk box sets, choosing a contract manufacturer is a key step in bringing their products to the market. A complete set of water emulsion kits usually involves multi category collaborative production of facial cleanser, toner, lotion, etc., which requires high comprehensive capacity of the factory. The following is a summary from two aspects: screening reference standards and cooperation methods with Daimei Yashi, for brand reference.

1、 Several reference standards for screening contract manufacturers

Firstly, verify the factory's qualifications. The brand side shall confirm that the factory has a valid Cosmetics Production License, and the scope of the license covers the planned production categories such as cream lotion, liquid, etc. Compliant factories will proactively provide copies of their licenses, and brand owners can also verify the factory's status through the official website of the National Medical Products Administration to understand whether there have been any violations or penalties in the past two years. The "two certifications" - ISO 22716 (cosmetics GMP) and ISO 9001 quality management system certification - are important dimensions for measuring the degree of standardization in factory production.

Secondly, evaluate the research and development technology capabilities. Does the factory have an independent R&D team, can the formula system be adjusted according to brand needs, and can it be requested to review the existing formula library and evaluate the development cycle. For claims of moisturizing and oil controlling effects, corresponding human efficacy evaluation reports or laboratory data should be required. If the brand itself does not have a mature formula, choosing a factory with formula reserves can shorten the development cycle.

Thirdly, examine the production and quality control system. It is recommended that the brand visit the production workshop in person to understand the cleanliness level and the operating status of the air purification system. Check whether the factory has established processes for raw material traceability, semi-finished product inspection, microbiological testing, etc., and whether batch production records and inspection reports are complete. Generally speaking, a 100000 level purification workshop is a basic requirement for a clean environment.

Fourth, evaluate the degree of service cooperation. Whether the OEM can provide one-stop services such as packaging design docking, filing assistance, and logistics delivery directly affects the operational efficiency of the brand. During the initial communication process, the factory's response speed and professional level of problem-solving can also reflect the smoothness of subsequent cooperation.

2、 Collaboration with Demi Yashi

Daimei Yashi provides customized services from formula development to finished product delivery, suitable for brands at different stages. **The first step is requirement communication. The brand side submits the product concept, and defines the dosage form (water, milk, cream, etc.), efficacy direction (moisturizing, soothing, etc.) and target users. Daimei Yashi recommends existing formulas based on demand or initiates the development of new formulas.

The second step is sample testing. After both parties confirm the direction of the formula, the factory will produce a sample. The brand conducts internal trials or entrusts third-party organizations to complete stability testing and anti-corrosion challenge testing. The sampling cycle is usually 7-15 working days. The brand can adjust details such as skin feel and aroma through multiple rounds of testing until the sample is recognized.

The third step is filing and packaging design. After the formula is confirmed, Daimei Yashi assists the brand in preparing product filing materials, including formula sheets, production process descriptions, testing reports, etc. The brand can complete the packaging design on their own or entrust design resources recommended by Daimei Yashi. The packaging documents must comply with the "Regulations on the Management of Cosmetics Labels".

The fourth step is production and quality control. Both parties sign a production contract, specifying quality standards, delivery deadlines, and acceptance methods. The factory arranges raw material procurement and production scheduling, retains samples according to the sealing standards of both parties during the production process, and issues inspection reports for each batch. The brand can send personnel to the factory to follow the production line.

The fifth step is delivery and after-sales service. After the delivery of the finished product, the factory provides a list of remaining raw materials and copies of production records. If there are quality issues, they shall be handled in accordance with the return and exchange terms stipulated in the contract.

The production process of Daimei Yashi includes raw material weighing, mixing and emulsification, settling, filling, packaging, and multiple quality inspections. Quality control runs through the entire process, from raw material storage to semi-finished and finished products, all have corresponding quality inspection standards. In terms of minimum order quantity, Daimei Yashi will provide flexible customization solutions for brand owners based on factors such as box complexity, formula commonality, and packaging customization level.

3、 Cooperation precautions

When promoting cooperation, it is recommended for the brand to do the following: firstly, carefully verify the factory qualifications and keep copies of certificates and licenses for filing purposes; Secondly, clarify the quality standards, delivery period, and responsibility clauses in the contract; The third is to retain samples and production records for each batch of products to ensure traceability. Through systematic screening and standardized collaboration processes, brand owners can find OEM factories that match their own needs and promote the smooth implementation of products.
