Private Label Deep Conditioner
The curly-routine staple — long-dwell moisture systems for texture methods.
Deep conditioner sits between daily conditioner and mask in the curly routine: applied mid-shower for 15–30 minutes while the customer shaves or exfoliates. Curly methods layer it heavily, which makes it the volume SKU of textured-hair lines.
Systems emphasize slip and moisture retention — cationic humectants, fatty alcohols and film-formers — with strict CGM compliance (no sulfates, no drying alcohols, no non-soluble silicones) available. The category rewards generosity: 300 ml tubes outperform 200 ml jars on repurchase.
Where this product sits in a 20-minute wash day
Deep conditioner is defined by dwell time, and dwell time is defined by what the customer is doing while she waits.
- 1
Cleanse
Sulfate-free or low-sulfate wash lifts product build-up without stripping the cuticle the conditioner is about to work on.
- 2
Apply generously to soaking hair
The curly method applies in sections on wet hair, which is why this category consumes more volume per wash than any other conditioner.
- 3
Dwell 15–30 minutes
Long enough to shave or exfoliate. This is the window the whole product is engineered around — long-dwell slip that does not collapse.
- 4
Rinse, then style on wet hair
It has to comb through without snag, because the next step is a styler applied to the same wet hair.
Deep conditioner, daily conditioner and hair mask
The chemistry overlaps heavily. What differs is dwell time, usage volume and the word your customer's routine uses.
| Product | Typical dwell | How it is engineered |
|---|---|---|
| Daily conditioner | 30–60 seconds | Light deposit, fast rinse-off, no build-up over repeated use |
| Deep conditioner | 15–30 minutes | Higher slip and moisture retention, built to be layered in quantity |
| Hair mask | 10–20 minutes | Treats closer to a periodic treatment; richer, often heavier on protein or oil |
Conditioning actives in this base
| Ingredient (INCI) | Typical Level | Function & Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Behentrimonium Methosulfate | 2–3% | Deep slip and deposit |
| Cetearyl Alcohol + Glycerin | 5–8% | Moisture-retaining structure |
| Hydrolyzed Rice Protein | 0.5–1% | Protein-moisture balance |
Formats we fill this base in
Mixed-variant orders can split the stated MOQ across formats under one brand.
| Format / Specification | MOQ | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| CGM deep conditioner 300 ml tube | 1,000 pcs | 10–15 days |
| Protein-moisture balance version 300 ml | 1,000 pcs | 10–15 days |
| Deep condition + gel styling set | 1,000 sets | 10–15 days |
MOQ and lead time above are the standard liquid, cream and gel route. The real minimum is set by the manufacturing system rather than the category: surfactant systems (shampoo, body wash) start at 2,000 pcs, stick formats at 3,000, and powders and sheet masks at 5,000 — with longer production runs to match.
Slip and deposit are two different jobs
Customers describe both as 'soft', but they come from different parts of the system — and a base that does one well often does the other badly.
Slip
Instant wet combability. Comes from cationic conditioning agents that adsorb to the negatively charged hair surface and flatten the friction.
Deposit
What is actually left behind after rinsing — fatty alcohols, oils and film-formers that keep moisture in the fibre.
The trade-off
Push slip too hard and the hair feels coated; push deposit too hard and it feels heavy. Long dwell amplifies whichever way you lean.
Why curly hair is less forgiving
Texture holds everything longer and rinses less completely, so a mistake in either direction is more visible than on straight hair.

What ships with a conditioning order
Emulsification and filling run on GMPC and ISO 22716 certified lines in-house under licence 粤妆20250206, with raw-material-to-carton traceability on each batch.
Conditioning products are judged by hand feel before they are judged by any number, so the retained Golden Sample is the reference point a batch is checked against, alongside the viscosity and pH readings on the batch record. The certificate of analysis, stability summary, microbiology report and MoCRA / CPNP-ready documentation ship with the order.
Conditioner questions from curly-hair brands
Deep conditioner vs hair mask?
Nearly the same chemistry — 'deep conditioner' is the curly-routine term and signals longer dwell and layered use; we build one base marketed both ways or two tuned variants.
What does protein-moisture balance mean?
Curly hair stalls when overloaded with either; balanced builds alternate support, and our two-variant system lets customers self-select.
Why tubes over jars?
Usage volume is high in curly routines — tubes dispense generously, travel better and cost less per unit at 300 ml.
