OEM Cosmetics & ODM Cosmetics

01. WHAT IS OEM?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturing. It is a kind of production method in which producers do not directly produce their products, but outsource the tasks to more professional and efficient manufacturers. The brand owners could then focus on developing their own key technologies and designs, as well as establishing their own distribution channels. OEM took off globally with the rise of the electronic industry. It is commonly used by major international companies such as Microsoft and IBM.

02. WHAT IS ODM?

ODM manufacturers undertake both product design/development, and manufacturing, and the products they produce are called ODM products. The biggest difference between ODM and a foundry is that a foundry only conducts production itself, while ODM manufacturers complete the whole process from design, formula development to production. The biggest advantage of this is that OEM reduces client’ research and development time and offers a one-stop solution to product development and production.

Ausmetics is a specialized oem cosmetics manufacturer. It integrates the whole production procedures of cosmetics, including: the initial processing of raw materials, packaging inspection and sourcing, automated packaging, content filling, and product development. With an established organizational structure, Ausmetics efficiently and professionally manufactures cosmetics that meet required standards. It encompasses the R&D Department, Supply Chain Department, Comprehensive Management Department, and Customer Service Department.

How To Work With Us

What Testings Can We Do?

Formula Stability Tests

Formula Stability Tests

Our R&D department will conduct stability tests to observe if the product consistency changes over time, including changes in ingredient separation, colors, pH and viscosity, degradation of preservatives or active ingredients. This is to ensure the product is good for production. The consistency of the test results is also to ensure the shelf-life of finished products.

Packing Tests

Packing Tests

---Compatibility Test
We conduct compatibility test for the reason that as time goes by, the formula liquid will have an impact on the package materials. In order to make sure our formula is safe with the package, our QA department will do compatibility tests to observe the appearance, scent, and any changes of the package in 7 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks respectively, under specific test conditions.

---Package Test
To ensure the best quality, we conduct tests on packages to detect problems such as leakage. Usually our QA Department will spend 48 hours on the test. Volume is also checked to assure enough formula liquid is filled to match with that stated on the labels.

  • You can order 2 SKUs with the same package bottles but different labels, which means effectively 5,000 pcs for each product.
