If you’re a startup or expanding cosmetic business looking to partner with a cosmetic manufacturer, it is critical to thoroughly research your options to ensure product dependability and brand transparency.
There are a variety of factors you need to consider to ensure the company you trust with your product formulation and design can adhere to your brands requirements alongside meeting industry standards and consumer products.
This article will delve into some key things you should consider, showcasing how Statfold can help elevate your brand and provide you with truly reliable products.
Assessing In-House Capabilities
Contract manufacturing companies that can offer a wide range of in-house services are ideal for a multitude of reasons.
For example, choosing a company with complete end-to-end solutions can help maintain consistent quality across your products alongside reducing your overall commercial carbon footprint.
For growing cosmetic businesses, it can be largely beneficial to have a professional opinion regarding your product designs. Here, your partner company can help iron out any issues with your product concept before the manufacturing stage can begin.
Experienced cosmetic manufacturers also work closely with an in-house research and development team, allowing them to advise on the best ingredients for your desired product and end result.
Ensuring Adherence to Important Standards
Another critical deciding factor requires you to assess the certifications and qualifications of your potential cosmetic partner. This allows you to feel confident that your products are able to meet compliance factors and that your product requirements can be met.
For instance, if you’re looking to produce natural or organic certified products, you should ensure your company has the relevant certifications such as COSMOS Organic and COSMOS Natural.
Cosmetic Standards
Some other cosmetic standards to consider are:
- ISO 22716 — which mandates rigorous protocols for the production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products.
- ISO 9001 — looks at overarching quality management systems. This works to verify that the manufacturer can consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements from raw material procurement to final delivery.
- ISO 22000 — regulates the safety, hygiene and traceability of consumable ingredients (e.g. botanical extracts). This helps to maintain transparency while also ensuring a rapid response to any contaminated materials.
Statfold can assure that all products manufactured by us meet all necessary regulatory requirements and are of high-quality.
Scalability of Product Development
Your chosen cosmetic company should be able to provide a range of different solutions for your business, from samples to bulk order production. This can allow for product consistency while also being adaptable as your business grows.
