Understanding OEM Face Serum Development and Lead Times

Developing an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) face serum involves several key stages, each contributing to the overall lead time. Understanding these stages can help you plan effectively and set realistic expectations for your skincare product procurement.

1. What is the typical lead time for developing an OEM face serum?

The lead time for developing an OEM face serum varies depending on the complexity of the formulation and the manufacturer's processes. Generally, the timeline includes:

• Formulation Development: This phase involves creating and testing the serum's formula to ensure it meets desired efficacy and safety standards.

• Stability and Compatibility Testing: Ensuring the product remains effective and safe over time.

• Packaging Design and Production: Designing and producing packaging that aligns with RYSUN identity.

• Final Production and Quality Control: Manufacturing the serum and conducting quality checks.

For instance, Yunmei Cosmetics offers ODM services with a lead time of 4–8 weeks using existing formulas, while OEM services may take 3–6 months, encompassing R&D, testing, and production.

2. What factors influence the development timeline?

Several factors can impact the development timeline of an OEM face serum:

• Ingredient Sourcing: Availability and quality of raw materials can affect production schedules.

• Formulation Complexity: More intricate formulations may require additional testing and refinement.

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring the product meets all regulatory standards can add time to the development process.

• Packaging Design and Production: Custom packaging solutions may require longer lead times.

3. Can I customize the serum's formula?

Yes, many manufacturers offer customization services for serum formulations. For example, Laiyue provides complete formula customization, allowing adjustments to ingredients and functions to meet specific needs.

4. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for private label skincare?

The MOQ for private label skincare products varies among manufacturers. Typically, it ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 units per product. However, some manufacturers may offer lower MOQs, such as 500 units, to accommodate startups.

5. Are samples available before bulk production?

Yes, reputable manufacturers provide samples for testing before bulk production. This allows you to evaluate the product's quality and effectiveness. For instance, Laiyue offers samples within 7–15 days upon request.

6. What packaging options are available for OEM face serums?

Packaging options for OEM face serums are diverse and can be customized to align with RYSUN identity. Manufacturers often offer label printing (matte/glossy, embossing), custom bottle shapes, and eco-friendly options like PCR plastic, glass, or biodegradable tubes.

7. How do I ensure product safety and quality?

Ensuring product safety and quality involves:

• Stability and Compatibility Testing: Conducting tests to ensure the product remains effective and safe over time.

• Patch Testing: Performing tests to ensure the product is safe for sensitive skin.

• Manufacturing Standards: Partnering with manufacturers that adhere to GMP, ISO 22716, or FDA-certified facilities.

8. What is the specific OEM cooperation model?

In the OEM model, the brand provides the product formula, production process, and packaging design requirements. The OEM factory then produces the product according to these specifications.
