Key words:MOOYAM OEM; Raw Material Inspection in Skincare OEM; Skincare Raw Material Testing Standards;
Raw material inspection is the foundation of high-quality skincare products, directly determining product safety, efficacy and compliance. For skincare OEM enterprises, strict raw material inspection processes and standardized testing standards are essential to avoid quality risks and meet global regulatory requirements. MOOYAM OEM adheres to rigorous inspection principles, integrating professional testing technologies and strict standards into raw material selection and inspection, helping brands build trustworthy products. This blog details the key indices and testing standards of raw material inspection in skincare OEM.
Key Indices of Skincare Raw Material Inspection
1. Purity and Impurity Content
Purity is a core index for active ingredients (e.g., hyaluronic acid, peptides, plant extracts), requiring no less than 95% purity for most functional raw materials. Impurity inspection focuses on harmful substances such as heavy metals (lead ≤10mg/kg, mercury ≤1mg/kg), pesticides (for plant extracts), and residual solvents, which must meet international safety limits to avoid skin irritation or long-term harm.
2. Microbial and Stability Indices
Microbial inspection prohibits pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) and controls total bacterial count (≤1000 CFU/g for non-sterile raw materials). Stability indices test raw material performance under different temperatures and humidity, ensuring no degradation, discoloration or efficacy loss during storage and production.
Core Testing Standards for Skincare Raw Materials
1. International and Regional Standards
Raw material testing must comply with global standards, including ISO 22716 (GMP for cosmetics), USP (United States Pharmacopeia), and EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. For plant extracts, additional compliance with organic certification standards (e.g., ECOCERT) is required if claiming natural or organic properties.
2. MOOYAM OEM’s Strict Testing Process
MOOYAM OEM adopts a three-step testing process: pre-inspection (supplier qualification review), in-process inspection (sampling and testing), and post-inspection (batch confirmation). We cooperate with accredited laboratories, using advanced equipment to ensure accurate and reliable test results, and only qualified raw materials enter production.
Strict raw material inspection is the first line of defense for skincare OEM quality. MOOYAM OEM adheres to international testing standards, focuses on key inspection indices, and establishes a complete quality control system, providing one-stop OEM services from raw material inspection to mass production, helping brands launch safe, compliant and high-quality skincare products.
