R&D Capability
How Our Laboratory Supports Product Development
We do not move formulas directly into production without evaluation. Before scaling up manufacturing, our R&D and quality teams assess formula feasibility, ingredient compliance, stability risks, packaging compatibility, and production readiness — helping brands reduce development risks before product launch.
Product Requirement Analysis
We first understand the product objectives:
- Product positioning
- Functional requirements
- Sensory experience
- Target price
- Packaging requirements
- MOQ requirements
Based on brand needs, we develop suitable product development directions.
Formula & Packaging Evaluation
The R&D team evaluates:
- Formula system
- Ingredient selection
- Sensory performance
- Packaging compatibility
- Cost feasibility
Ensuring the product solution meets development goals and has a solid foundation for manufacturing.
Sample Development & Optimization
Starting from laboratory samples:
- Formula adjustments
- Performance optimization
- Sensory experience optimization
- Stability observation
Through multiple rounds of testing and refinement, we help products achieve the expected performance.
Testing & Validation
Before mass production, we conduct:
- Efficacy testing
- Stability testing
- Packaging compatibility testing
- Product safety evaluation
Relevant testing reports are provided to support product launch.
Scale-Up Evaluation & Mass Production Confirmation
The R&D and production teams jointly evaluate:
- Manufacturing process feasibility
- Equipment compatibility
- Batch production stability
Ensuring laboratory samples can be successfully transferred into stable large-scale production.
Laboratory Testing Capabilities
Raw Material Testing
Compares incoming materials with agreed identity and specifications. The record should identify the material, batch, specification and result.
Physical & Chemical Testing
Checks the agreed physical and chemical properties of the sample. Review the measurement, method and acceptance range together.
Efficacy Testing
Assesses selected product claims under defined conditions. The report should identify the formula, method, outcome and limitations.
Safety Testing
Evaluates safety questions relevant to the product and its intended use. Review the assessed sample, evaluation scope and conclusion.
Stability Testing
Evaluates changes in the formula over time under defined storage conditions. Review the formula, packaging, duration, conditions and observations together.
Microbiological Testing
Checks the sample against the microbiological limits specified for the product. The record should identify the sample or batch, test method, limits and result.
