Q&A

60% of our clients are the first time to do cosmetics business.
If you have any questions or unclear items, feel free to consult us.

It usually takes 2-3months to determine the container, design and formulation of cosmetics. So if everything goes smoothly, it is expected to take 2-3months to reach commercialization from first meeting.
In the situation of brand new formulation, it will take 3-6 months due to the repeated confirmation of changing properties. (Delivery date will differ based on products’ specification)
Please note that in the situation of container dying, containing printing or new material purchasing, the delivery date is likely to be postponed.

Products that can be manufactured include skin care cosmetics, hair care products, beauty salon specialized products, business-used cosmetics, soap and so on. Please feel free to inquiry.

Considering the expenses of containers and printings, the economic lot size will be [over 3000 for regular bottles] [over 10,000 for over tubes] [over 30,000 sheet packs]. We certainly accept orders with small lot. (though the cost is relatively high, half of our customers start with small lot due to the capital issues.

Of course we can, but printing factory usually requires the minimum quantity of 1000.

Yes, it is possible. Container dying requires the minimum quantity of 3000~.
Regular containers are mainly white color or transparent.

While adhesive labels are sometimes less refined than printing on the containers, if well-designed, adhesive labels are still competitive. Some big cosmetics makers also utilize adhesive labels for new released products. Besides, if use same containers with different adhesive labels, it also reduces the risk of inventory overstock.
We can firstly use adhesive labels and see if they are welcomed by customers, and later change to printed-containers.

Our company can help you select ideal containers in order to save your labor. We strongly recommend that those customers with small lot order can use the containers from our stock, in that we don’t limit the minimum quantity.

Yes，it is possible. However, please note the cost of the related paper work and export application.
Besides, if taking consideration of the shipment expense, the profit margin might be low if the export quantity is below 1 million yen.
(For different countries, the circumstances of application failure or significantly high application fee may occur)

We can help with the package design and also charge based on the design scheme. In this situation, we will provide customers the final artwork designed by illustrator software.
*Artwork producing expense and design expense separated.

Yes, it is possible as long as provided raw materials are certified cosmetics ingredients.
It is necessary that provided raw materials meet the standard of cosmetic ingredients, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) , every lot quality test and so on.
*The quality of the natural ingredients may vary according to different batch. So it is possible that provided raw materials are difficult to be added because of durability and stability issues.

Normally cosmetics products can last for 3 years.
However, the quality deterioration occurs gradually during 3 years period, not happen in a sudden time after 3 years. Therefore, please finish up as soon as possible after opening the bottle.

Basically it is better to store cosmetics in room temperature in cool and dark environment.
Storage in extreme high or low temperature and dirty or humid environment lead to faster deterioration. Please avoid above situations.

No, no certificate is needed.
Our company owns the certificates of both manufacturing cosmetics products and selling cosmetics products. Thus, it is fine for our clients to sell cosmetics without any other certificates.

Generally our minimum lot size is 500 for each product. While it is possible to accept an order below this quantity, the relative cost is very high.
