OUR PROCESS

From Brief to Bulk: A Structured Path to Your Finished Product

Every project follows the same disciplined sequence — no shortcuts, no black boxes. Below is what happens at each stage, what you receive, and what we need from you.

PROCESS TIMELINE

Eight stages, start to finish

01
Brief & Consultation

We start by understanding your brand direction, target price point, and market requirements (US, EU, or both). You'll receive an initial response within 24 hours, shaping which regulatory pathway and formulation approach we recommend from day one.

You provide: brand direction, target cost range, channel and market requirements
We provide: feasibility assessment, formulation direction, regulatory pathway
02
Formulation Development

Our chemists develop your formula based on the brief, balancing performance, cost, and compliance requirements from the outset — not as an afterthought.

03
Sampling

First-round samples are typically ready in 1–2 weeks.

04
Iteration Rounds

We refine the formula based on your feedback. The pace of this stage depends on how quickly feedback is returned on each round — we move as fast as the collaboration allows.

05
Stability & Compliance Testing

Formulas undergo standard stability testing (approximately 3 months), alongside compliance documentation — FDA 21 CFR conformance for the US, EU Regulation 1223/2009 and CPNP-ready files for Europe. All other required testing is completed within this same window.

06
Pilot / Bulk Production

Once the formula is finalized and tested, bulk production typically takes about one month.

07
QC & Documentation Handoff

Every batch is quality-checked prior to shipment. You receive full documentation alongside the product — COAs, safety assessments, and regulatory files ready for your market.

08
Logistics & Delivery

Shipped FOB — we prepare and provide all export logistics documentation, while shipment booking is arranged by you or your freight forwarder. Transit time is typically 30–60 days, depending on destination.

Production Capability

Capacity: Our facility maintains an annual production capacity of 600 tons for liquid formulations and 1,000 tons for cream and lotion emulsions — enough throughput across both product types to support mid-size runs and larger bulk orders on a predictable schedule.

GMP: Our facility operates under GMP standards (ISO 22716 / GMPC) and is MoCRA-registered, meeting the regulatory baseline required for both the US and EU markets. Filling takes place in a [ISO Class 8 / Class 300,000] cleanroom environment, maintaining consistent air quality and contamination control across every batch.

Quality Control

QC: Every batch follows a structured quality control process, including:IQC (Incoming Quality Control) – inspection of raw materials and packaging materials before production; IPQC (In-Process Quality Control) – monitoring critical parameters during manufacturing; FQC (Finished Product Quality Control) – testing of finished products including appearance, odor, pH, viscosity and other product-specific parameters; OQC (Outgoing Quality Control) – final inspection before shipment; QA Release – review of production records and QC documentation before batch approval

Traceability: Full tracking from raw materials to finished goods, following ISO 22716 batch record requirements, each batch is recorded with a unique identification number, linking raw materials, production records, QC inspections and shipment information for complete process visibility and reliable quality management.

FAQ

Common Questions

What's the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ is typically 2,000 units, though this can vary depending on packaging component requirements.

How long does bulk production take?

Once the formula is finalized, bulk production typically takes about one month.

Do you charge for samples?

Sampling is free in most cases. The customer is responsible for shipping costs.

How do you ensure samples match bulk production quality?

Samples are made to the same formula and raw material specifications as bulk production. Before full-scale production, we run a trial batch under actual production conditions and compare it against the approved sample — bulk production only proceeds once it matches. The same QC checkpoints (IQC, IPQC, FQC, OQC) apply at every stage.

What are your payment terms for production?

Bulk production is shipped FOB, with payment by T/T on a 30% deposit / 70% balance schedule.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes. We're glad to sign an NDA whenever a customer requests one.
