CDMO Partnership
The deepest level of engagement we offer: full development and compliance handling for regulated categories — sunscreen, whitening, anti-spot, anti-hair-loss — from formula to approval documentation to export, inside one network.
What is a cosmetics CDMO?
A CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) is the most comprehensive manufacturing partnership — it covers the whole lifecycle: formula development, regulatory documentation, scale-up and export, as one managed programme rather than separate services stitched together.
Our CDMO work is anchored in one hard fact: some categories cannot legally launch without a licence. Sunscreen, whitening, anti-spot and anti-hair-loss products require special-use approval, and our Baiyun R&D base holds those approvals — including the SPF35 sunscreen administrative approval. For these categories, development, testing and documentation route through the team that holds the paperwork.
Where a standard ODM project ends at a proven formula, a CDMO engagement carries the compliance file with it: ingredient and claim review for your destination market, testing documentation, and the registration support your route requires — US MoCRA, EU CPNP, ASEAN, or China NMPA special-use. Scale-up then runs across five bases totalling 56,487 m² under one quality standard.
What our CDMO service includes
Development, compliance and manufacturing as one programme.
Regulatory route planning
We map your category and target market to the right approval path before development starts — including what can and cannot be claimed.
Licensed formula development
Special-use formulas (sunscreen SPF35, whitening, anti-spot, anti-hair-loss) developed by the R&D base that holds the approvals.
Testing & documentation
Stability, safety and efficacy-supporting testing coordinated with the documentation your registration route requires.
Multi-market documentation
US MoCRA, EU CPNP, ASEAN notification and China NMPA special-use — prepared by the team that ran the batches, not a third party.
Scale-up across the network
Pilot to full production across five bases with 191 units of equipment — capacity is matched to your launch plan, not the other way round.
Export & launch support
Foreign-trade registered, export documentation and per-shipment MSDS, COA and inspection reports from first container onward.
Our CDMO process
Five stages, one programme owner.
Brief & regulatory route
Category, claims and target market are mapped to an approval path. If the category is licensed, the constraints are on the table at day one.
Licensed formula development
Formula work runs at the R&D base holding the relevant approvals — first sample in 7 days, two free rounds.
Testing & documentation
Stability, safety and supporting testing run in parallel with the approval file, so documentation is ready when the formula is.
Verification & scale-up
Golden-sample verification against the approved specification, then pilot and full production across the matched base.
Export & launch
QC documentation, export paperwork and per-shipment reports — the programme ends at your shelf, not at our gate.
CDMO key facts
CDMO — frequently asked questions
What brands ask before committing to a full programme.
How is CDMO different from ODM?+
ODM ends at a proven formula. CDMO carries the compliance file with it: regulatory route planning, approval documentation and multi-market registration support, managed as one programme with the manufacturing.
Which licensed categories can you handle?+
Sunscreen (SPF35 administrative approval), whitening, anti-spot and anti-hair-loss — the four special-use categories held by our Baiyun R&D base. These categories cannot legally launch without a licence.
Do you file patents or register new ingredients?+
No — we do not claim that. Our CDMO scope is formula development, approval documentation and manufacturing. If your project needs patent or new-ingredient registration, we will tell you openly at the brief stage.
How long does a CDMO programme take?+
First sample in 7 days like every route. Licensed categories carry approval and testing timelines that vary by market — the route map from step 01 gives you the real dates before you commit.
Is CDMO right for a small brand?+
Usually not. If you need speed and low cost, private label or ODM serves you better. CDMO pays off when your product strategy depends on licensed or heavily regulated categories.
What is the MOQ?+
From from 1,000 pcs per SKU — the same minimum as every other route, with no CDMO premium on the minimum.
