It's often said that everyone desires beauty. Daily skincare isn't simply about slathering bottles of serums and lotions on your face. With the rapid development of the cosmetics contract manufacturing industry, more and more brands are choosing to partner with cosmetics OEM manufacturers. This not only reduces operating costs but also improves production efficiency. Today, we'll explain the various ways to collaborate with cosmetics OEM manufacturers.
1. Cosmetics OEM Manufacturing Methods
Cosmetics OEM manufacturers typically undertake processing and manufacturing, with minimal involvement in brand planning and product design. Cosmetics brands, on the other hand, already have established capabilities, with established marketing channels, brand strategies, product R&D departments, and packaging design departments. In these cases, brands will directly outsource production to cosmetics OEM manufacturers. Manufacturers will procure and produce raw materials and packaging materials according to the provided production plan, then carry out filling, packaging, and finally, shipping the finished products to customers via logistics.
2. Cosmetics ODM Partnership Methods
In addition to manufacturing cosmetics, cosmetics OEM manufacturers also perform functions such as brand planning and packaging design. Brand owners are new to the cosmetics contract manufacturing industry and lack a comprehensive operational system. They lack a clear understanding of product selection, brand positioning, and product positioning. Cosmetics processing factories have been operating in this industry for many years and have considerable experience in design. New clients may require manufacturers to provide this service, so an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) partnership is an option.
3. Processing of Semi-finished Cosmetics Products
Semi-finished cosmetic products refer to finished products that have been processed but not yet bottled. They are typically packaged in large drums. The finished product contains the same ingredients as the finished product, requiring only filling and packaging. For contract manufacturing of semi-finished cosmetic products in large drums, the minimum order quantity is typically calculated by kilogram, such as 50 kg, 100 kg, or 500 kg. Upon receipt, cosmetics contract manufacturers typically use the semi-finished products directly or process and bottle them themselves.
4. Customized Cosmetics Sample Processing
Some cosmetics contract manufacturing clients have a specific product in mind and would like a cosmetics contract manufacturing factory to customize it to their sample. While generic products are possible, collaboration is required, though new molds and samples must be created for the product, and there are certain minimum order quantities. The production process for cosmetics OEM is similar to other methods.
The above are the most common OEM/ODM collaboration options for cosmetics. Different OEM methods are suitable for brands at different stages of their development. Therefore, when choosing an OEM model, it's crucial to choose the one that best suits your needs. DAAO Cosmetics integrates R&D, production, sales, and brand planning.
