Finding cosmetic manufacturers who sell wholesale makeup tools is tough. Even established beauty product marketplaces like BeautySourcing have to put in a lot of work to find the right one to supply their cosmetic products.
Cosmetic manufacturers are often very busy with existing product lines and many times do not have time to search for new product ideas. It just takes work to find these companies. But it is worth it because once you find a company that has an idea for a new product line, you will be able to make big bucks selling that product.
This post will help you figure out how to find cosmetic manufacturers who want to buy new product ideas from you. The list below will provide you with some direction as to what you need to look out for when training to find a good manufacturer of beauty products.
1. Manufacturer Cosmetics
Manufacturer cosmetics are products created by companies that are not sold directly to consumers. These products are manufactured by third-party cosmetic companies and then resold at retail stores. Many manufacturers use ingredients that have been tested and approved by consumer product regulatory agencies. However, these regulations do not apply to cosmetic products manufactured overseas. Cosmetic products may be advertised as being “natural” or “organic” even though they were neither natural nor organic.
2. Ingredients Listing
Ingredients lists are extremely helpful when searching for manufacturer cosmetics. The ingredient list should clearly state what substances each ingredient contains. If possible, the percentage of each substance should also be listed. There are several websites that provide information about ingredients including the FDA website (www.fda.gov/cosmetic) and GreenMedInfo (www.greenmedinfo.com). You can search the web for information about individual products using keywords like “product name + ingredients”.
3. Non-GMO Label Claims
Non-GMO labels claim that the product does not contain genetically modified organisms. While GMO labeling laws vary across states, many manufacturers put non-GMO claims on their products to indicate that they do not contain GMOs. However, some companies make misleading statements about the safety of GMOs to gain market share. In fact, GMOs have been proven safe to consume by numerous studies. A scientific study conducted by Dr. Gilles-Eric Séralini published in 2012 showed that rats fed high levels of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide developed tumors and died prematurely. Another study conducted by Italian researchers showed that GM corn was linked to liver damage in rats. Despite this evidence, non-GMO claims remain prevalent in the marketplace.
4. Environmental Impact
Manufacturers often take steps to ensure that their manufacturing processes are environmentally friendly. They may use recycled materials, reduce water usage, limit packaging, and produce less hazardous chemicals. Manufacturers may also choose to purchase certified organic ingredients if they meet certain standards set forth by organizations like USDA, EPA, and OEKO TÜRO (an international organization dedicated to developing testing methods for ensuring the quality of food and personal care products).
5. Sustainable Practices
Companies that manufacture manufacturer cosmetics try to minimize environmental impacts caused by their production practices. Companies may consider recycling, reducing chemical consumption, and minimizing packaging. They may also seek out suppliers who practice sustainable business practices.
6. Cruelty-Free Labeling
Companies that label themselves cruelty-free avoid animal testing and purchasing from suppliers that test on animals. Some companies will sell their products only through retailers who require that all products sold under their brand undergo independent third-party verification tests to confirm that they are vegan.
7. Fair Trade Practices
Fair trade is another term used to describe businesses committed to ethical trade practices. Companies that practice fair trade may buy ethically produced ingredients such as coffee, tea, sugar, cocoa beans, cotton, etc.
8. Recycling Information
Many cosmetic companies will include information about where their products were manufactured or how they were made. For example, you will find recycling information about where your mascara came from. You can also determine whether the company recycles its own packaging.
9. Water Efficiency
Water efficiency refers to the ability to conserve resources while using them. This includes using cleaner sources of energy to power industrial facilities, conserving the amount of water used during production, and limiting the overall volume of wastewater discharged into the environment.
