Key Manufacturing Risks to Avoid
Cosmetics require consistent formulations, stable emulsions, and strong GMP practices. These are the issues that most often lead to product instability, safety problems, or compliance failures.
Formula Instability
Separation, pH drift, or viscosity changes caused by poor mixing, incompatible ingredients, or inadequate testing.
Microbial Contamination
Insufficient preservative systems or poor sanitation can lead to safety issues and product recalls.
Packaging Incompatibility
Formulas that react with plastic, leak, or destabilize due to poor compatibility testing.
Regulatory Labeling Errors
Incorrect INCI lists, allergen labeling, or over-reaching product claims can cause compliance issues.
Weak QA & Documentation
Lack of batch records, COAs, stability logs, or microbial testing leads to unpredictable production quality.
Poor R&D Communication
Factories that skip iterations or fail to test properly often produce unstable or misaligned formulas.
When Brands Seek a New Manufacturer
These issues often indicate your current lab or factory is not equipped to deliver safe, stable, scalable beauty products.
- Formula separation or texture changes
- Off-odors or unexpected color changes
- High microbial counts or failed PET/challenge tests
- Leaking, paneling, or packaging failures
- Inconsistent viscosity or performance between batches
- Poor R&D communication or slow iteration cycles
- Incorrect labeling or compliance errors
- Bottlenecks in filling capacity
- MOQ challenges or unexpected pricing increases
- Delays in stability testing or unclear documentation
