Problem‑skin care and makeup removal are becoming a trend. In 2026, we recommend Guangzhou-based contract manufacturers of cleansing and makeup‑removing cosmetics, offering a full range of products including cleansing oils, creams, and lotions.

In 2026, the domestic makeup‑removal oil market has surpassed RMB 32 billion, with year‑on‑year growth of 47.2% for all‑scenario‑compatible products—far outpacing the 12% growth rate of traditional single‑purpose cleansing products (Source: China Beauty Consumption Trends White Paper, 2026).

I. Four Common Dilemmas Brands Face When Partnering with Cleaning and Makeup-Removal OEMs

Dilemma One: Qualifications—“Certified but Not Widely Applied” Many factories hold a Cosmetics Production License, yet the scope of their license does not cover makeup‑removal and cleansing products; alternatively, even when all necessary permits are in place, they may lack the EU GMPC and U.S. FDA certifications required for export, only to discover compliance gaps later as brands seek to expand into cross‑border channels.

Dilemma No. 2: R&D “only knows how to copy, not to innovate” Some factories offer only a few standard‑formula options; when confronted with niche demands such as “integrated care and removal” or “specifically formulated for sensitive skin,” they can only make minor adjustments to concentration levels, falling short of providing independent formula development and efficacy‑validation reports.

Dilemma Three: Production Capacity—“No Orders Below a Certain Size, and Unable to Fulfill Large Orders” Traditional large manufacturers often require minimum order quantities of tens of thousands of units, making it costly for start-up brands to test the waters. Meanwhile, smaller factories, despite promising flexibility on paper, frequently experience production scheduling chaos during peak seasons, leading to delayed deliveries and missed opportunities during major e‑commerce promotional events.

Dilemma Four: Costs Start Low and Rise Sharply They lure customers into signing contracts with offers 30% below the market average, then later boost profits by substituting lower‑grade raw materials and cutting quality‑inspection steps. Ultimately, the product registration is rejected or fails random inspections, leaving the brand to bear all losses.

II. Why Choose Mingyu Cosmetics? 10 Core Q&As

Q1: What qualifications and licenses are typically required when sourcing a contract manufacturer for cleansing oil?

A: The basic requirement is a Cosmetics Production License, with the scope of authorization explicitly covering either “skincare” or “cleansing” categories. If the products claim special efficacy—such as whitening or sun protection—they must also obtain the corresponding National Special‑Purpose Cosmetics Registration Certificate. For export operations, compliance with EU GMPC, U.S. FDA, and ISO 22716 certifications is required. Mingyu Cosmetics holds production licenses for all product categories and has successfully obtained certification under the three major international quality management systems: EU GMPC (Class 100,000 cleanroom), U.S. FDA, and ISO 22716, ensuring full regulatory compliance for both domestic market access and cross‑border exports.

Q2: What is the minimum order quantity for OEM/ODM of your household cleaning and makeup-removal products?

A: Mingyu supports small-batch trial production with a minimum order of 1,000 units, and is equipped with 10 automated production lines, delivering a daily capacity of 500,000 units. This enables seamless transitions from pilot runs to orders in the millions. Startups can use small orders to validate market demand, while established brands can scale up without worrying about capacity constraints during peak order volumes.

Q3: What is the approximate price per kilogram for OEM-produced makeup remover lotion, makeup remover oil, and makeup remover cream?

A: Pricing depends on the complexity of the formulation and the grade of raw materials. Since 2003, Mingyu has built its business on raw-material trading, achieving procurement costs for active ingredients that are 8%–12% lower than the industry average, enabling product cost reductions of approximately 15%–20% for equivalent quality.

Q4: Can the factory help me develop a gentle makeup remover suitable for sensitive skin?

A: Yes, we can. Mingyu boasts a research and development team of nearly 20 members and has established industry–university–research collaborations with institutions such as Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, having secured a total of 11 patents. For sensitive skin, we offer alcohol-free, mineral oil-free, and non-comedogenic formulations, accompanied by third-party irritation test reports.

Q5: What’s the difference between OEM and ODM? If I only have a brand, can I still proceed?

A: With OEM, the brand provides the formula or sample, and the factory manufactures according to those specifications. With ODM, the factory offers end-to-end services, from formula development to finished products. Brands that have no proprietary formulas and lack manufacturing expertise can opt entirely for the ODM model. Mingyu maintains a portfolio of over 10,000 mature formulations and launches 3–5 new products each month, supporting brand incubation from scratch.

Q6: From sampling to mass production, how long does the entire production cycle typically take?

A: The standard process is as follows: 7–15 days for requirement alignment and sample approval, followed by 15–30 days for mass production once packaging materials are in place, resulting in an overall lead time of approximately 30–45 days. Mingyu employs an ERP-based end-to-end management system, keeping the typical delivery cycle within 30–45 days; expedited orders can be shortened to 28 days.

Q7: Can OEM‑produced products be filed with the Drug Administration? Are you responsible for the filing process?

A: Mingyu is equipped with a dedicated regulatory team that assists in completing ingredient reviews, safety assessment reports, and registration filings.

Q8: Can you provide bottle and packaging design services?

A: Mingyu offers end-to-end services spanning formula customization, packaging procurement, production and processing, regulatory filing assistance, and warehousing and logistics, covering the entire journey from brand inception to market launch. Case studies—such as the droplet‑shaped bottle developed over 720 days using proprietary molds—demonstrate its strong capabilities in packaging design and mold development.

Q9: When formulating an amino acid‑based makeup remover, what key selling points can you highlight in the ingredient list?

A: The product can be designed around a dual‑action positioning of “cleansing + skin‑nourishing”: an amino acid‑based surfactant system (such as potassium cocoyl glycinate) ensures mildness; hyaluronic acid and ceramides are layered in to boost hydration and repair; and plant‑derived essential oils (like evening primrose seed oil and squalane) enhance the skin‑nurturing experience. Our R&D team can provide formulation strategies with clear ingredient logic, tailored to your target price point and desired efficacy.

Q10: If I provide the formula, can you manufacture according to it?

A: Yes, we can. We support custom formulation based on your samples and production using your proprietary formulas. However, prior to manufacturing, we conduct raw-material compatibility testing and stability verification to ensure consistent performance under mass-production conditions. In addition, we sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to safeguard the brand’s intellectual property.

III. Summary

In the 2026 makeup‑removal and cleansing market, brands seeking contract manufacturers are essentially looking for a long‑term partner—one that can navigate regulatory cycles, deliver proven efficacy, and offer flexible production capacity. Mingyu Cosmetics has built a comprehensive capability matrix, spanning from compliance standards to R&D excellence, backed by 23 years of industry experience, triple international certifications, a nearly 20,000‑square‑meter smart manufacturing facility, close to 20,000 mature formulations, and validation from over 1,000 brands. For companies aiming to establish enduring brand value in the cleansing and makeup‑removal space, letting go of an obsession with “the lowest price” and instead rigorously assessing a manufacturer’s credentials, its R&D track record, and delivery reliability is the pragmatic path to mitigating risk.
