The path and conditions for the brand to cooperate with the factory to produce soothing essence water

For brand owners, finding factories is not just about comparing prices, but about finding supply partners who can cooperate in the long term. To finalize the cooperation, it is necessary to first clarify the product positioning, compliance path, and own conditions, and then confirm each item with the factory.

Firstly, determine the product category and compliance requirements. Women's care products may be managed according to categories such as disinfectant products, cosmetics, or others, with different categories corresponding to different licenses and registrations. The brand needs to clarify the requirements of the target channels, such as online platforms, offline stores, supermarkets, or pharmacies. The factory needs to have a business license and corresponding production permit, with a production scope covering the target dosage form. If disinfection products are involved, a hygiene license for disinfection product production enterprises should be obtained; If managed according to cosmetics regulations, there should be a cosmetics production license. Both parties need to confirm who is responsible for filing, health and safety evaluation, and label review.

The second is to prepare brand information. The brand owner is required to provide a trademark registration certificate or authorization letter, business license, product name, packaging design, target audience, sales channels, estimated annual purchase volume, price range, and launch date. If there is already a formula or sample, reference can be provided; If not, the factory can provide mature formulas for selection. But the formula and finished product must undergo compliance review and cannot claim treatment, efficacy, or exaggerate effects.

The third is to screen factories and review their capabilities. Check the workshop environment, filling equipment, raw material management, batch records, sample retention system, and testing capabilities of the factory. May request past similar product cases, third-party testing reports, and quality system documents. When conditions permit, conduct a factory audit to confirm the source of raw materials, production process, packaging procedures, and storage conditions.

The fourth is sampling and testing. The brand proposes a requirement document, and the factory arranges for sampling. The appearance and odor of the sample need to be confirmed pH、 Viscosity, packaging material compatibility, stability, microbial indicators. The packaging needs to be tested to confirm that the pump head, bottle body, label, and outer box match. Testing can be sent to third-party organizations and executed according to the target category project. After passing the inspection, we can discuss mass production.

The fifth is business conditions. It is necessary to clarify the minimum order quantity, tiered pricing, mold fees, packaging material procurement, payment terms, delivery cycles, transportation methods, and damage liability. The minimum order quantity for the first batch of new brands may be relatively high, and small-scale trial production can be negotiated. The price should include raw materials, filling, testing, packaging, taxes, and shipping to avoid additional items in the future.
