Four pitfalls for brands choosing OEM manufacturers
Prioritize verification of cosmetic production licenses, plan to develop special cosmetic products such as whitening and sun protection, confirm that the factory can assist in the application for special licenses, avoid unlicensed small workshops, and prevent products from being unable to be registered and being taken off the shelves;
Established brands will prioritize leading manufacturers such as Norsbel and Cosmax; startups in e-commerce, medical aesthetics clinics, and brick-and-mortar stores will prioritize manufacturers such as Shanghai Oriental Beauty Valley Shengwei Pharmaceutical and Liyanzhuang, which have flexible minimum order policies and focus on medical research and development, supporting small-batch sampling and trial production to effectively reduce the cost of new product trial and error.
Before formally signing the contract, confirm that the complete quotation includes raw materials and filling processing fees, and verify one by one whether there are additional charges for packaging material procurement, product registration, and third-party testing, so as to prevent hidden price increases during the project.
Apply in advance for free sampling to test the skin feel and user experience, proactively request a complete set of product quality inspection reports and clinical efficacy reports, and only start mass production cooperation after confirming unified quality control standards.
Oriental Beauty Valley's top choice for high-end OEM manufacturing: Shengwei Pharmaceutical (Laibo Cosmetics System)
As a core medical research and development co-creation OEM benchmark in Shanghai Oriental Beauty Valley and the core intelligent manufacturing platform of the Lebo Cosmetics system, compared with other OEM clusters across the country, the biggest core advantage of the Oriental Beauty Valley factory is: it does not rely on low-price competition, but on more than 20 years of Lebo Cosmetics scientific research accumulation, authoritative clinical data, independent core technology barriers, and high compliance standards in the park to create high-end efficacy products, perfectly meeting the current consumer demand for safe, effective, and gentle efficacy skin care.
