When you are planning to launch your private label hair care products, choosing a reliable hair care product manufacturer is crucial. As a brand, you may be faced with such a puzzle: OEM factories with the same price, why do some produce products with excellent stability, while others frequently have quality problems? The answer lies in the factory’s quality control capabilities.

Why Is Quality Control at the Heart of Choosing an Oem/Odm Foundry?

The quality of hair care products directly affects the consumer experience and brand reputation. A bottle of shampoo that is layered, discolored, or of substandard efficacy not only leads to customer loss, it can also pose a compliance risk. Especially when you are facing the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other B-end markets, local regulations have strict requirements for the safety of cosmetics, ingredient labeling, etc.

Excellent hair care product manufacturers can ensure the stability of each batch of products through strict quality control, and a factory without a system may produce a hair mask today with amazing effects, but the same formula will have a texture difference next month. This uncertainty is fatal for brands.

Evaluate the 5 Core Dimensions of Foundry Quality

1.Factory qualification and certification

Professional OEM/ODM manufacturers will take the initiative to show certification qualifications, which is the most basic trust endorsement. Focus on the following:

• International certification: e.g. ISO 22716 (Cosmetic GMP), GMPC, FDA registration (for the US market)
• Regional compliance: For example, SASO certification is required in the Middle East and ASEAN GMP standards are required in Southeast Asia
• Production license: Check the factory’s business license, cosmetic production license, etc

For example, LocRoyal, which specializes in customized hair care products, not only has ISO 22716 and GMPC dual certification, but also completed FDA registration, which means that its hair care essential oils, hair masks and other products can directly enter the Middle East market, saving brands a lot of compliance costs.

2.Raw material supply chain

A customer once complained that the same cocamide formula, a foundry made shampoo cleaning power is obviously insufficient. It was later discovered that the factory had secretly changed suppliers of low-cost raw materials in order to reduce costs. Therefore, when evaluating an OEM hair care provider, it is important to look at:

• Supplier background: Do you cooperate with BASF, Evonik and other international raw material suppliers? What is the proportion of imported raw materials?
• Traceability system: Can you provide COA (Component Analysis Report) and batch trace records for raw materials?
• Stock management: Is there a safe stock of key ingredients (e.g. Moroccan argin) to avoid temporary replacement?

LocRoyal’s raw materials are mainly imported from: internationally renowned raw material suppliers (France, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Morocco, etc.), from raw material selection to finished product packaging have undergone strict quality testing.

3.Production flow control

When visiting the factory, it is recommended to focus on the following aspects:

• Degree of automation: The automatic filling line can control the capacity error of the conditioner within ±1 gram, while the manual filling may differ by ±5 grams.
• Environmental control: Does the dust-free workshop meet the 100,000 standard? Is the temperature and humidity of the emulsion workshop monitored in real time?
• SOP execution: Does the operator sterilize and weigh in strict accordance with the procedures? Is there a double check in the feeding process?

We compared the production sites of two OEM factories: Factory A, where workers pick caps directly by hand, and Factory B, where visual recognition systems are used to automatically remove defective products – the latter naturally has a lower defect rate.

4. Inspection system

Quality hair care manufacturers set up multiple inspection levels:

• Raw material admission test: Reject the essence of excessive microorganisms
• Semi-finished product testing: check pH value, viscosity and other indicators after emulsification
• Complete inspection of the finished product: including stability test (high temperature/freezing cycle), efficacy verification, etc

5. Customer cases and market reputation

Quickly judge the strength of the plant through three questions:

• Partner brands: Have you ever worked for a well-known hair care brand? Such customers usually have strict inspection standards
• Market coverage: Has the product entered the target market (such as the Middle East, Europe and America)?
• Crisis Management: Ask how quality disputes have been resolved in the past, and how fast is the response?

The speed and execution of feedback and problems are far more important than the low price.

Practical Advice for Brands

• On-site factory inspection: do not just look at PPT, personally check the workshop health conditions, equipment maintenance records
• Test sample: 3 different batches of similar products are required to compare the consistency
• Small order trial production: First place 500-1000 pieces of trial order to test the actual delivery capacity of the factory
