As a manufacturer of cosmetic raw materials founded in 2015, Mingya has long focused on the field of cosmetics and personal care raw materials, covering emulsifiers, synthetic esters, emollient oils, silicone oils and other functional raw materials.The company's production base is located in Yichang, Hubei, and it has laid out business resources in Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places to continuously improve services around customers' product development and procurement needs.
This time, we learned more about Mingya's daily business and the details behind the manufacture of cosmetic raw materials from the aspects of factory production, product application, warehousing and supply.
I. Starting from manufacturing, pay attention to the actual needs of raw materials
Cosmetic raw materials seem to be only part of the formula, but the functions of different raw materials are not the same.Emulsifiers need to be combined with the oil phase and the aqueous phase to build a suitable emulsifying system. Emollient oils will affect the spreadability and skin feel of the product, while cleansing products need to choose suitable surfactants and auxiliary ingredients according to the formula design. These differences also determine that the production of raw materials cannot only focus on production, but also consider the characteristics, production technology and quality requirements of the product itself.
Mingya continues to improve its product portfolio around the practical application needs in the field of personal care.For skin care lotions, creams, and body care products, R&D personnel usually need to combine oil comparison, target texture, and emulsification system for raw material screening.For example, when developing emulsion formulas, choosing the right Oil in water emulsion helps to design the formula around the oil-in-water system.From the production end to the application end, each raw material has its corresponding technical requirements.
II.Do a good job in quality management to make product information clearer
The stability of product quality is a very practical issue.If the key indicators of the same raw material change significantly between different batches, it may increase the workload of customers for formula adjustment and production verification.Therefore, raw material production enterprises need to pay attention to production process management, finished product testing and batch data collation.According to the requirements of different products, related quality management work may involve raw material inspection, production process monitoring, finished product index testing, and batch record management.
Mingya attaches great importance to the connection between product quality management and technical data, and each product has COA, TDS, and MSDS.When customers understand the product, they can obtain the corresponding product specifications and technical documents according to their specific needs for further evaluation by the procurement and R&D team.Clear information also means that communication is more convenient.Whether it is the first purchase or looking for alternatives to existing raw materials, accurate product names, technical indicators and document information can reduce unnecessary repeated confirmations.
III. The product range is constantly enriched to meet the development needs of different formulas
Although skin care, care and cleansing products belong to the same field of personal care, they have different priorities in formula design.Skin care products usually need to consider the emulsification system, oil phase matching and skin feeling; shampoo and bath products need to take into account the cleansing ability, foam performance and feeling after washing; makeup remover products need to choose suitable raw materials according to the target makeup, oil composition and use method.
Taking emollient oils as an example, there are differences in the viscosity, spreadability and skin feel of different oils, and formula R&D personnel need to match them according to product positioning.For some formulas that want to improve the softness and application experience of the product, Isopropyl myristate is a good emollient ester raw material. Its actual performance needs to be tested in combination with the addition ratio and other oil phase ingredients.
Emulsifiers also need to be judged in combination with the complete formula.The hydrophilic and oleophilic characteristics, processing conditions, oil phase composition and target texture of the raw materials will all affect the performance of the final system.Mingya's current product system covers emulsifiers, synthetic esters, emollient oils, silicone oils and other functional raw materials.Through the combination of different product categories, customers can understand the corresponding raw material selection according to their own R&D projects, without having to simply boil down the formula requirements to a certain individual raw material.
IV. From the factory to the warehouse, the supply link is equally important
After the production of raw materials is completed, it also needs to go through packaging, warehousing, order confirmation and logistics coordination before it can be truly delivered to customers.
Mingya relies on Yichang production base and Guangzhou-related business and warehousing resources to carry out product supply and customer service work.The inventory, packaging specifications and delivery time of different raw materials will vary according to the actual situation to ensure that the goods can be delivered to customers in time.The supply of services does not only occur at the moment the goods leave the factory.From inquiry to order confirmation, to follow-up logistics arrangements, every link needs to maintain accurate information.This is also an important part of building long-term customer relationships.
V.Mutual cooperation between production layout and market services
Mingya's production base is located in Yichang, Hubei.The local area has Yangtze River water transport and related transportation and logistics resources, which provide geographical conditions for enterprise production and transportation.At the same time, the company has laid out business resources in Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places in order to carry out market communication, customer docking and daily business coordination.
The layout of production bases and market services has its own focus.The production side needs to pay attention to process execution, production planning and product quality; the business side needs to keep abreast of customer procurement needs, product application directions and delivery arrangements.The convergence of information between the two helps to enable customer needs to be more accurately transmitted to the supply link.
For customers with specific formulation needs, such as looking for suitable Hydrogenated castor oil-related raw materials, in addition to confirming the product name, they should also learn more about the specific INCI name, specifications and target application to avoid deviations due to similar names or different uses.
Mingya continues to support domestic and foreign customers in product consulting and raw material procurement through cooperation between production and business services.For customers in different countries and regions, specific transportation methods and delivery arrangements will provide different solutions according to different needs.
VI. Technical communication is not limited to product parameters
The technical parameters of raw materials can help customers understand the basic characteristics of the product, but when it is really applied to the formula, a variety of factors still need to be considered.For example, emulsifiers need to be selected in combination with oil phase composition, formula structure and processing technology; emollient oils need to be evaluated in combination with the target skin feeling and the matching of other oils; cleaning raw materials need to pay attention to the composition of the entire surfactant system, as well as the product's requirements for foam, viscosity and sense of use.Mingya focuses on the supply of cosmetics and personal care raw materials, and provides corresponding product information and business communication support according to customer needs.
VII. Continue to do a good job in daily work and serve the long-term supply and demand of raw materials
Since its establishment in 2015, Mingya has continued to deepen the field of cosmetics and personal care raw materials, and has carried out business around the supply and demand of different functional raw materials.For the company, continuous improvement of product information, good order communication, and attention to the actual application needs of customers are tasks that need to be promoted for a long time in daily operations.
In the future, Mingya will continue to work on the production and supply of cosmetic raw materials, and provide raw material selection and procurement communication support for companies related to skin care, care and cleaning products.
