Health & Beauty sourcing FAQ
What regulations apply to cosmetics imports?
EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 requires a Responsible Person, safety assessment, and CPNP notification. US requires FDA OTC drug approval for products with active ingredients. Most markets require INCI ingredient labelling. South Korean K-beauty exports often hold KFDA approval which aids global market access.
How do I find a private label cosmetics manufacturer?
Look for manufacturers with ISO 22716 (GMP for cosmetics) or equivalent national GMP certification. Request a factory audit or third-party GMP assessment. Ask for their existing formulation catalogue and discuss custom development timelines. MOQs for private label typically start at 500–1,000 units per SKU.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM in cosmetics?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): you provide the formulation, the factory manufactures it under your brand. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): the factory provides an existing formulation from their library; you brand it. ODM is faster and cheaper; OEM is better for truly proprietary products.
Are cruelty-free and vegan claims verified by manufacturers?
Certifications from Leaping Bunny, PETA, or Vegan Society are third-party verified. Manufacturer self-declarations are less reliable. Always ask for specific certification documentation and check the certificate validity with the issuing organisation.
