As a daily chemical product that directly contacts the scalp and hair, the formula safety of shampoo is directly related to consumers’ health rights and is also a core concern in the OEM manufacturing process of shampoo. OEM factories need to establish a comprehensive safety control system for the entire process, from raw material screening to formula validation, and then to production monitoring. Through strict control at multiple stages, the system ensures the safety and compliance of product formulas, providing reliable protection for brand owners and consumers.
1、 Strict control over raw material access
Strict control of raw material access is the foundation of formula safety. OEM factories need to establish a standardized mechanism for screening and evaluating raw material suppliers, prioritizing the selection of suppliers with complete qualifications and good reputation, and conducting strict audits on the production qualifications, quality certification, and other aspects of raw materials. At the same time, sampling and testing are conducted on each batch of purchased raw materials to verify indicators such as ingredient content, purity, and residual harmful substances, ensuring that the raw materials meet safety standards and preventing unqualified raw materials from entering the production process from the source, thus building a solid defense line for formula safety.

2、 Adhere to the principle of compliant formula
Following the principle of compliant formula is the core of formula safety. Formula design must strictly comply with regulatory requirements, clarify the scope of use and limit standards of ingredients, and prohibit or restrict the use of substances with potential risks. In the process of formula development, it is necessary to fully consider the compatibility and safety of ingredients, in order to avoid the production of harmful substances or irritation caused by improper ingredient combinations. At the same time, the formula needs to undergo professional review to ensure that the ingredient claims, efficacy statements, etc. comply with relevant regulations and avoid compliance risks.
3、 Strengthen personnel professional training
Strengthening personnel professional training is the human guarantee for formula safety. The control of formula safety relies on professional personnel to carry out. OEM factories need to regularly train personnel in research and development, production, testing, and other aspects, covering regulatory standards, raw material characteristics, formula safety knowledge, operating procedures, etc. Enhance employees’ awareness and professional competence of formula safety, ensure that they can strictly follow the requirements in their work, avoid formula safety issues caused by human errors, and provide solid human support for formula safety control.

4、 Strengthen formula confidentiality management
Strengthening the confidentiality management of formulas is an important extension of formula security. Formula is the core asset of the brand, and OEM factories need to establish a strict formula confidentiality system to control the storage, access, and use of formulas and prevent the leakage of formula information. During the production process, an encrypted recipe calling method is used to prevent unrelated personnel from accessing the complete recipe. At the same time, a confidentiality agreement should be signed with employees to clarify confidentiality responsibilities and obligations, ensuring the confidentiality of the formula from the institutional and implementation levels, indirectly maintaining the uniqueness and security of the formula.
5、 Improve the quality traceability system
Improving the quality traceability system is the bottom line guarantee for formula safety. Establish a full process traceability mechanism from raw material procurement to finished product delivery, recording batch information, production process parameters, testing results, operators, and other data of the raw materials used in each batch of products. Once there is a safety issue with the product, the traceability system can be used to quickly locate the problematic links, such as raw material batches, production processes, etc. Timely recall and rectification measures can be taken to greatly reduce safety risks, while providing data support for formula optimization.
In summary, OEM shampoo manufacturing ensures formula safety through multiple collaborative efforts such as raw material control, compliant formula, personnel training, formula confidentiality, and quality traceability. Only by integrating safety concepts throughout the entire OEM process can we produce safe and compliant shampoo products, win the trust of brand owners and consumers, and promote the sustainable development of OEM cooperation.
