FAQ

Request a Skincare OEM Sample — Frequently Asked Questions

The 10 questions global buyers ask most before requesting a skincare OEM sample.

How much does a skincare OEM sample cost?
+
Skincare OEM sample costs range from USD 15–80 depending on type. Standard formula samples from our R&D library are USD 15–30. Custom ODM formula development is USD 30–60. Packaging comparison sets and reformulations are USD 40–80. All sample fees are credited 100% toward your first bulk order of 500+ pcs — making the sample effectively free once you scale.
How long does it take to receive my skincare OEM sample?
+
Standard formula samples are ready in 7–10 working days after payment. Custom ODM skincare OEM samples take 10–18 working days. DHL Express shipping adds 3–5 business days. Total door-to-door time is typically 2–4 weeks from brief submission and quote approval.
Can I request a skincare OEM sample with no minimum order commitment?
+
Yes. Requesting a skincare OEM sample carries no commitment to place a bulk order. You only proceed to bulk when you are fully satisfied with the formula, packaging, and performance. We ask that sample requests come from genuine B2B buyers — we are a manufacturer and do not supply consumer samples.
How many revision rounds are included in the skincare OEM sample fee?
+
Revisions are unlimited at no extra charge. We iterate until you approve your skincare OEM sample. The fastest path to approval is using our 10-point Scorecard and providing specific written feedback per criterion for each revision round.
Will my formula be protected? Can I sign an NDA?
+
Yes. We sign an NDA before sharing any proprietary formula details, INCI lists, or pricing. Your custom skincare OEM sample formula is developed exclusively for your brand and is never offered to other clients. Request the NDA when you submit your brief or email sales@flavorsources.com.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) after the sample is approved?
+
Our standard MOQ is 500 pcs per SKU for serums, hair care, and baby care. Creams and cleansers start from 1,000 pcs. Sheet masks and foil-pouch formats start from 3,000 pcs. MOQ is clearly specified in the bulk order quote issued after sample approval. Get a precise quote →
Can I get TikTok-ready formats like freeze-dried serums or dual-chamber masks?
+
Yes — these are among our core specialisations. We manufacture freeze-dried active delivery systems (lyophilised powder + liquid activator sets), dual-chamber packaging with separate actives and base formula, and supramolecular peptide serums. Select “Instant Effect / TikTok-Ready Formula” or “High-Tech Upgrade” in the Performance Claims section of your brief.
Does Flavor Sources support HALAL and Amazon FBA compliance?
+
Yes. Our facility holds HALAL certification for Middle East, Malaysia, and Indonesia markets. We also support FDA MoCRA and Amazon FBA compliance, EU CPSR, SGS test reports, COA, and MSDS. Mention your target market in the sample brief and we flag any formulation restrictions upfront. Export support details →
What documents come with my skincare OEM sample?
+
Every skincare OEM sample ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming pH, viscosity, appearance, colour, and stability. On request we also provide: full INCI list, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), preliminary stability protocol, and packaging specification sheet — all matching the format provided with bulk production orders.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM skincare sampling?
+
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means we produce to a formula or specification you already own. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) means we develop the skincare OEM sample formula from scratch based on your brief — and you own the resulting formula exclusively. Most first-time clients start with ODM. An existing formula to improve is handled as a Reformulation sample. Full OEM/ODM FAQ →
