FAQS
1. What's the typical MOQ for a private label facial mask line?
MOQ typically starts from 5,000 pieces for standard facial mask formats, including sheet masks, hydrogel masks, and clay masks. Specialized materials or highly customized products may require different minimum order quantities depending on the project requirements.
2. How long does sample development take before mass production?
Sample development is typically completed within approximately 7 days. After sample approval, mass production generally requires 15–25 days, depending on order quantity, packaging specifications, and customization requirements.
3. Which mask format should I launch first?
Sheet masks are often the most popular starting point for new skincare brands due to their broad consumer acceptance, flexible formulation options, and cost-effective production. Additional formats such as hydrogel, bio-cellulose, or clay masks can be introduced later to expand the product portfolio.
4. Do you provide compliance documentation for international markets?
Yes. We support customers in multiple export markets and can provide relevant documentation such as CPSR, CPNP, PIF, FDA-related documentation, Halal certification support, COA, MSDS, and other compliance documents based on market requirements.
5. Can I launch with multiple mask formats instead of a single product type?
Yes. Many emerging brands choose to launch with a small assortment of facial mask formats to evaluate customer preferences and market demand. This approach can help brands build a more complete product offering while gathering feedback before expanding into larger production volumes.
