Our Development Process: How to Create Skin Care Products

Our expertise in cosmetic manufacturing guarantees your products are made to the highest standards, using safe and effective ingredients.

Raw Material Acceptance and Quality Control

We begin with the careful selection and acceptance of raw materials. Each ingredient undergoes rigorous checks, including:

Materials Order Checklist: Ensures all necessary components are accounted for.
Disinfection and Temperature Control: Maintains the integrity of raw materials.
Quality Control Inspections: A dedicated team evaluates materials using a barcode system for identification and weighing, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Micro-organism Screening

To guarantee product safety, we conduct thorough inspections of raw materials, focusing on:

Visual and Sensory Assessments: Evaluating color, scent, and texture.
Contamination Tests: Micro-organism screenings and tests for water content and viscosity help us maintain high safety standards.

Rigorous Testing of Semi-Finished Products

Before products reach the final stage, they undergo extensive testing:

Appearance and Quality Inspections: Evaluating colors, textures, and scents to align with customer expectations.
Shelf-life Testing: Ensures longevity and effectiveness of the final product.

Regulatory Compliance Checks

We guarantee all products comply with regulations set by organizations such as the FDA, USDA, and ISO. Count on us for guidance throughout this process to secure adherence to all necessary rules. Key considerations in this process include:

Product classification
Facility registration
Labeling requirements
Natural/organic claims
Local regulations

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Most Asked Questions About Creating Your Own Skin Care Line

Is skincare business profitable?

Yes, a skincare product line can be profitable. The average revenue is about $1.32M per year with a 70% gross margin, so you could potentially recover your investment in 12 months or less.

However, profitability depends on several factors, including how much you earn compared to your expenses. In the early months, it can be hard to predict exact earnings, but tracking your monthly income and expenses will help you see if you’re meeting your goals. This will allow you to make adjustments if needed to stay on track.

Do I need FDA approval for my cosmetic products?

Cosmetic products (except for color additives) do not require FDA approval before being sold. However, they must be safe for use, properly labeled, and not adulterated or misbranded. You are responsible for ensuring your products meet safety standards and comply with all regulations. Some personal care products may be regulated as drugs that may require approval.

How do I know if my product is a really cosmetic?

A product is considered a cosmetic if it is intended to cleanse, beautify, or alter appearance, such as makeup, moisturizers, hair dyes, or perfumes. If it affects body functions or treats diseases, it is a drug. Some products may be regulated as medical devices, dietary supplements, or by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

How does Medpak support the safety of your products?

We use available safety data to support your product safety. This data may come from ingredient suppliers, scientific journals (like PubMed and ToxNet), or the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) website, which reviews ingredient safety. While the FDA participates in CIR meetings, it doesn’t vote but considers CIR reviews when assessing safety.
