Key Factors in Selecting an OEM Partner
When evaluating potential cosmetics OEM partners, brands must consider multiple critical factors to ensure product quality, regulatory compliance, and business scalability. The right cosmetics OEM manufacturer serves as an extension of your brand, impacting everything from product innovation to market reputation.
Production Capacity and Scalability
A reliable cosmetics OEM manufacturer should demonstrate both current production capabilities and future scalability. DESIFINE operates state-of-the-art facilities with a monthly capacity of over 500,000 units across cosmetics, skincare, haircare, and body care product lines. Our flexible production lines accommodate both small-batch trials (minimum order quantities starting at 1,000 units) and large-scale commercial production, ensuring seamless growth as your brand expands.
Quality assurance begins with rigorous manufacturing practices. Look for a cosmetics OEM manufacturer with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification as a minimum standard. DESIFINE maintains ISO 22716 certification and implements six-stage quality control protocols, including:
- Raw material inspection upon arrival
- In-process testing during formulation
- Stability testing under various conditions
- Packaging integrity verification
- Final product analysis
- Batch traceability documentation
Regulatory Compliance and Documentation
Navigating global cosmetic regulations requires specialized expertise from your cosmetics OEM manufacturer. DESIFINE’s regulatory team stays current with evolving requirements across major markets, including the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009), US FDA guidelines, and ASEAN cosmetic directives. We provide comprehensive documentation packages, including:
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for each batch
