What is OEM in cosmetics?
OEM (original equipment manufacturing) means the factory produces a product to your formula or specification and puts your brand on it. ODM means the manufacturer supplies a ready-developed formula that you customise and brand. Private label usually describes either route, with the finished product sold under your brand.
What is a private label cosmetic manufacturer?
A private label cosmetic manufacturer develops and produces skincare or makeup that you sell under your own brand. We handle formulation, production and packaging; you own the brand, marketing and sales.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ depends on the product and packaging. Stock packaging and existing formula bases allow lower starting quantities, which suits small businesses; custom packaging and custom formulas need higher volumes. Tell us your plan and we will suggest the most efficient option.
How long does sampling take?
Sampling time depends on the formula and packaging; we confirm a timeline as soon as your brief is clear.
What is the production lead time?
Lead time depends on packaging availability and order size; we give you a production schedule with your quotation.
Can you create a custom cosmetic formulation?
Yes. Our lab can develop a custom formula from your brief and reference products, or manufacture your existing formula under OEM, subject to ingredient availability and your target market's regulations.
Which products do you manufacture?
Face care (cleanser, toner, serum, face cream, masks, eye care, acne patches, skincare sets), sunscreen, lip care, body care (body butter, scrub, shower gel, hand and foot care, soap), hair care, makeup, men's care and mom & baby care.
Do I need a license to sell skincare?
Requirements depend on the country. Many markets need product notification or registration, a local responsible person or importer, compliant labels and safety documents. We provide the manufacturer-side documents; please confirm market requirements with a local regulatory consultant.
What is your production capacity?
Our 6,000 m² facility in Guangzhou can produce around 6 million bottles a month across body wash, shampoo, hair care, toners, creams and lotions, with up to 200,000 units filled per day.

How do you protect our formula and brand?
We sign NDAs on request and keep customer-specific formulas confidential.
