Guidelines for Factory Cooperation of Facial Cleanser Brands and Daimei Yashi's Processing Flow

In the constantly developing beauty industry, facial cleanser, as a basic skincare category, has a stable market demand. Many brands hope to achieve standardized production and market-oriented landing of their products through cooperation with professional OEM factories. For facial cleanser brands, finding a suitable OEM factory and achieving smooth cooperation not only requires meeting the cooperation conditions of both parties, but also familiarizing themselves with clear cooperation processes. This article will provide a detailed breakdown of the core conditions for facial cleanser brands to cooperate with factories, as well as the complete process of outsourcing processing with Daimei Yashi factories, in order to provide practical reference for brand owners.

1、 Core conditions for facial cleanser brands to collaborate with factories for production

The cooperation between brands and contract manufacturing factories is essentially a two-way adaptation process. Both parties need to meet their respective basic conditions in order to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation and avoid subsequent disputes. Whether it is an emerging start-up brand or a mature brand expanding its product line, the cooperation conditions mainly revolve around three dimensions: brand qualifications, product positioning, and cooperation matching.

（1） The basic conditions that brand owners need to possess

1. Complete subject qualifications: The brand owner must have a legal and valid business license, and the business scope must include cosmetics sales, commissioned processing, and other related categories. Both individual businesses and enterprises are eligible, and must be stamped with an official seal for verification; At the same time, provide a copy of the legal representative's identity certificate to ensure that the cooperating parties are legal and compliant. This is a prerequisite for cooperation between both parties and a fundamental guarantee for product compliance and market launch.

2. Complete trademark qualification: The brand needs to have a Class 3 trademark registration certificate (R mark), and the trademark covers groups related to cosmetics and daily chemical products. If the trademark has not been registered yet, a trademark acceptance notice (TM mark) can be provided for temporary use, but it should be noted that it does not have full legal effect; If the trademark is not owned, an exclusive or general authorization document issued by the trademark holder must be provided, and confirmed with an official seal.

3. Clarify the product positioning and demand: the brand side needs to clearly define the core direction of the product, including the target population (such as youth oil control, sensitive muscle repair, etc.), product form (cream, gel, foam, etc.), efficacy focus (deep cleaning, mild moisturizing, etc.), and at the same time clarify the budget range, the expected quantity of orders, the delivery cycle and other key needs, so that the factory can accurately match production resources and avoid repeated adjustments due to vague demand.

4. Cooperate with compliance filing: The brand needs to cooperate with the factory to complete the relevant work of product compliance filing, provide necessary information, including preliminary ideas of product formulas, relevant information of raw materials, etc., to ensure that the product complies with the national cosmetics filing policy and can be successfully marketed and sold.

（2） Core requirements for factories

1. Compliance production qualification: the factory should have complete production qualification, including business license (business scope includes cosmetics production), cosmetics production license issued by provincial drug administration, and the licensed items should match the production dosage form of facial cleanser (such as cream lotion, general liquid, etc.); At the same time, it complies with the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for cosmetics production and has a complete production, inspection, and quality system.

2. Production and R&D capabilities: The factory needs to have factory facilities suitable for facial cleanser production, including standard purification workshops, water treatment equipment, storage space, and inspection rooms, equipped with microbiological and physicochemical testing equipment and certified inspectors, capable of conducting strict testing on raw materials, production processes, and finished products; At the same time, we have a professional R&D team that can provide mature formulas or customize formulas according to brand needs, and have the ability to debug samples.

3. Comprehensive supporting services: High quality factories will provide full process supporting services, including formula research and development, sample making, compliance filing, packaging design and procurement, logistics distribution, after-sales follow-up, etc., which can assist brand owners in solving various problems in the production process, allowing them to focus on brand operation and market promotion.

4. Reasonable cooperation mode: The factory needs to provide flexible cooperation modes based on the development stage and financial strength of the brand, optimize the minimum order quantity standard, adapt to different needs such as small-scale trial production of start-up brands and large-scale production of mature brands, and clarify the details of cooperation to protect the rights and interests of both parties.

（3） Adaptation conditions for cooperation between both parties

In addition to both parties having their own basic conditions, the adaptability of cooperation is also crucial. The product positioning of the brand should match the production advantages of the factory. For example, for brands that specialize in high-end functional facial cleansers, factories with customized formulas and high-end raw material supply capabilities should be selected; Both parties need to reach a consensus on quality standards, price expectations, and delivery cycles. At the same time, the factory needs to have good communication and response capabilities, be able to timely adjust the needs of the brand, and ensure smooth progress of cooperation.
