FAQs for Shampoo Manufacturing
What is the minimum order for private label shampoo?
500 units per SKU. The startup band runs 500–1,000 units and the standard band is 3,000. The minimum includes formula selection or custom development, filling, labelling and batch testing.
How long does a private label shampoo project take?
Sampling takes 7–10 days from an approved brief. First production runs 20–30 days after sample approval. Reorders ship in 7–14 days. Custom formulation, if needed, adds 3–6 months before sampling.
Do you supply the packaging for shampoo?
Yes. Packaging is sourced alongside the formula, including stock components for small runs and custom tooling for larger volumes. Component minimums are quoted separately because they are often the real constraint on a low-volume launch.
Which certifications apply to shampoo production?
Manufacturing runs under GMP and ISO 22716. Depending on the market and claims, ECOCERT or COSMOS organic certification, FDA facility registration, CPNP notification, CPSR and SMETA ethical audit documentation can be provided.
Is every batch of shampoo tested?
Yes. Each batch is tested before release and issued with a Certificate of Analysis recording the measured values for that run. Full batch traceability is maintained from raw material to finished unit.
Can you develop a custom formula rather than a stock one?
Yes. Custom development runs 3–6 months and the development fee is credited against the first order. Stock formulas are faster and cheaper if the brief is close to something already in the library.
