Start Your ProjectWhat Is the Skincraftlab OEM/ODM Process?
The Skincraftlab process is a fixed five-stage manufacturing workflow — brief, quote, sample, production, delivery — that turns a product concept into finished skincare at our GMP-certified factory in Zhongshan, China. Every project follows the same structure: you submit a brief, receive an all-inclusive quote within 24 hours, approve branded samples in 5–7 business days, then move to production with full QC documentation and global shipping.
Three engagement models sit on this workflow: private label (MOQ from 500 units, 30–45 days), ODM customization (MOQ 1,000 units, 45–60 days), and full OEM development (MOQ 3,000+ units, 60–90 days).
Submit Your Brief
Share your product vision, target market, order quantity, and special requirements. The more specific the brief, the faster the first quotation: product type, target price, packaging preference, and any certifications required for your destination market. We respond within 48 hours with options and indicative pricing. You can start from a proven catalog formula (239 products available) or describe a custom concept for our R&D team.
Receive Proposal
Formula options, MOQ, timeline, and pricing within 48 hours. For private label, you choose from proven formulas at 500 units/SKU. For full OEM/ODM, our 12 formulation scientists propose the formula, active concentration, and packaging. Adjust and refine until it fits your budget and positioning — revisions are normal at this stage, and they are cheaper before samples are cut than after.
Approve Sample
Standard formulation samples arrive in 7–14 business days; branded samples with your packaging within 30 days. Stability testing runs on-site in parallel, so by the time you approve the sample, the stability picture is already building. Check texture, fragrance, color, and packaging against your target market, then confirm or request changes.
Production & Delivery
Full QC documentation and global shipping to your warehouse. Production runs in a GMP 5,000 m² facility with batch records, and finished goods are inspected against the approved sample. Customs documentation is prepared for your destination country — serving 30+ countries since 2007, the export routine is handled. Real-time tracking throughout the process.
