What to pay attention to when choosing a reliable factory to produce and customize a hand cream

As a brand, when we are preparing to customize a hand cream, the factory quotation is just the starting point. To ensure the product is implemented as planned, it is necessary to thoroughly review compliance, formula, inspection, production, and contracts in the early stages, which will result in significantly lower communication costs in the later stages.

One is nuclear qualification and filing capability. Check the business license and cosmetics production license to confirm that the licensed items match the intended product category; Understand the registration process, label review, and copy proofreading mechanism for ordinary cosmetics. Whether the factory can cooperate in preparing the filing materials will affect the pace of listing. The main responsibility of the registrant lies with the brand, and the cooperation mode of the factory should be discussed in advance.

The second is nuclear materials and formulas. The raw materials should be included in the list of used raw materials, and restricted substances should be used in limited quantities; Request raw material source documents, COA, MSDS, and formula sheets from the factory. The ownership, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights of the formula should be clearly discussed before sampling. Confirm skin texture, aroma, color during sampling pH、 Viscosity and retention of sealed samples; Changes in raw material suppliers and formula adjustments must be confirmed in writing, and if necessary, re sampling and testing should be conducted.

The third is nuclear testing and stability. Confirm the testing arrangements for microorganisms, heavy metals, and physicochemical indicators; Stability, packaging compatibility, and filling volume testing should be conducted, and packaging materials such as hoses and pump heads should also be included in the compatibility assessment. Batch retention, inspection records, and traceability methods should be included in the process. The claims of moisturizing and nourishing hand cream should be based on evidence, and the copy should be checked according to the requirements of the Advertising Law, without using medical language.

The fourth is to observe the production and quality control site. Go to the workshop to check cleanliness management, equipment cleaning, batch recording, deviation handling, and sample retention management; Ask about production capacity, delivery time, minimum order quantity, and price composition. The responsibility for packaging materials, filling losses, non-conforming handling, and recall cooperation should also be clearly stated in the contract, and the quality agreement should specify the acceptance criteria and abnormal handling methods.

Fifth, manage the labels and listing documents well. Check the ingredient list, filing number, production license number, expiration date, net content, and implementation standards; Synchronize the review of tags and detail page copy. First, conduct small-scale trial production to confirm samples, batch records, and marketing documents, and then arrange for mass production.

Finding a factory is not about comparing prices and placing an order. Checking qualifications, formulas, inspections, on-site inspections, and contracts one by one will make the path to customizing hand cream clearer.
