Don't step on these "pitfalls" when it comes to processing plain cream and finding a factory to eliminate them!

1、 Confirm factory qualifications and eliminate unlicensed production

The "makeup brand name" refers to the symbol of the cosmetics production license, which is a prerequisite for enterprises to produce legally. Before cooperation, it is necessary to verify whether the factory holds a "Cosmetics Production License" and whether the licensed project includes a "cream unit". Some factories may only have "washing" or "disinfection" qualifications, but they illegally undertake cosmetics business, which poses a high risk of cooperation. You can check the authenticity of qualifications and the scope of licenses through the official website of the National Medical Products Administration.

2、 Assess R&D and quality control capabilities

Although plain cream may seem simple, it has extremely high requirements for formula stability, skin feel, and safety. High quality factories should have independent research and development laboratories and professional quality control teams, which can provide support such as formula optimization, skin feel debugging, stability testing, etc. It is recommended to conduct on-site inspections of the factory environment, equipment, and operating procedures, with a focus on the storage conditions of the raw material warehouse, the cleanliness of the production workshop, and whether the quality inspection process is standardized.

3、 Pay attention to ingredient and filing compliance

Plain cream is often classified as "ordinary cosmetics" and requires product registration before it can be launched. The factory should assist customers in completing ingredient audits, preparing filing materials, and other related tasks. Special attention should be paid to avoiding the use of ingredients that are not listed in the "Catalogue of Cosmetics Used Raw Materials", or the illegal addition of prohibited substances such as hormones and heavy metals. Before cooperation, the factory can be requested to provide successful case studies and testing reports for similar products.

4、 Clarify the responsibilities and processes of both parties

OEM cooperation requires clear agreements on the responsibility for raw material procurement (whether it is packaged by the factory), minimum order quantity, production cycle, quality inspection standards, and other details. Especially, it is necessary to confirm in writing the subject of product filing (brand or factory), the division of responsibility for quality issues, and other terms to avoid disputes in the future.

5、 Be wary of excessive promises and low price traps

Some factories attract customers with "extremely low prices" and "universal formulas", but there may be hidden problems such as cutting corners and simplifying processes behind them. The production of cosmetics must follow strict standards, and reasonable cost is the guarantee of quality. If the quotation is far below the market level, its compliance should be carefully evaluated.
