Beauty-loving women have always been the main force in cosmetics consumption, and they have also contributed to the prosperity of the beauty and skin care industry. With the rise of e-commerce and live streaming, many Internet celebrity anchors, micro-businessmen, and brands are now looking for suitable products. Cosmetics OEM, ODM factories, OEM cosmetics or find OEM factories, but cosmetics OEM factories will also have uneven scale and level, so how to carefully screen and reduce pitfalls?
First, the first thing to do is to conduct an on-site inspection. On-site inspections can intuitively understand whether the manufacturer really exists and whether it really has the necessary conditions for production and research and development. It also needs to look at the working environment of the factory, the operating years of the cosmetics factory, and the characteristics of the factory. The longer the time, the more familiar the general level will be and the details will be perfected. Another way is to look at the number of factory employees, look at the factory machinery and equipment, etc. You can judge the factory’s production capacity based on labor and machines. It is easy to judge the production capacity. Before signing a contract, you must visit the intended manufacturer several times. If you randomly find a small factory, the risk is very high. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct an on-site inspection before choosing a factory!
Second, the shipping cycle and testing. For a cosmetic, it takes a corresponding amount of time to confirm the sample, confirm the packaging material, and test the compatibility between the inner material and the packaging material. Many factories do not have the ability to do compatibility testing. For example, the testing of internal materials usually takes three days for bacteria and five days for mold. Production can only be carried out after the results are qualified. After production, the finished product also needs to be tested again, and both bacteria and mold must be tested.
Third, we must also examine whether the factory has an R&D department. R&D strength is the core competitiveness of OEM and ODM factories. Some factories have laboratories but no R&D teams. Mature R&D teams are stronger in innovation and independent innovation capabilities. Real R&D personnel have the ability to develop new formulas and have the ability to innovate. The number of new products released every month can also provide a sideways understanding of their R&D strength. If you want to create truly safe and effective skin care products, you need to carefully examine the research and development capabilities, especially the efficacy of mature formulas. This will help reduce efficacy evaluation costs and time costs, and win market time.
Finally, you can also increase your understanding of the cooperative manufacturers from various aspects such as formula inspection, cooperation cases, registration services, design capabilities, cost performance, warehousing capabilities, delivery capabilities, and later production capacity.
