WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN I CONTACT BPI?

BPI partners with you and encourages you to be involved through the entire product realization process from concept to volume manufacturing to ensure you are satisfied with the development of your product at every stage, whether its with skincare manufacturing labs or with cosmetic contract manufacturing. When you come to us our experienced team works together to bring your cosmetic product to life. Our process starts with you and our Sales Project Manager working together to get a clear understanding of your concept of your product and what we can do to help you meet and exceed those goals. As part of the discovery phase, we will ask questions related to product specification and deliverables, your ideal timeline, your packaging type, fill sizes, volumes, any special needs in terms of fill or final packaging for this product. Using our extensive experience, we will advise ways to adjust specifications if possible, to optimize manufacturing efficiencies to save cost. We will then advise your team on expected lead time for your project.

Once we have your preferred formula or we have created a formula that meets your specifications, and has been reviewed and approved by your team, we will run sample fill tests in our lab to ensure that your product is the best quality and meets or exceeds your specifications. We do this by conducting extensive testing in our in-house lab to ensure that your formula creates a product that meets both yours and our expectations. Some of these tests are to make sure that your product is stable in your chosen packaging, a freeze thaw test to see how your product will react to being frozen. By engaging in testing early in the development phase, we can catch potential problems allowing us to advise you to potential issues that could arise, and we can both move forward with confidence that we can guarantee that your product is of the best quality at the lowest price. Once we have created and tested your product, we will send out a sample to you for approval. We work together to source your packaging and then your product moves into manufacturing. After your product has been made and filled in your chosen packaging, we will work with you to figure out the logistics for shipping your product.

WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT BPI FOLLOWS?

With both skincare manufacturing labs and cosmetic contract manufacturing, the first phase of the product realization journey is discovery phase where we capture all aspects of your project with our Sales Project Manager, recording critical information and translating to solutions and we now have a sense of everything that is important to you relating to your project. This is also where you are able to tell us the story of your product and tell us the expectations that you have for your project.

Second phase of the cosmetic manufacturing journey is engagement with our research and development / formulation team. This is where we produce first run lab batches and to test your product against specifications and provide feedback to you with test results, potential issues and possible solutions based on your expectations. This is a critical step in the cosmetic manufacturing journey.

Once you are satisfied with the performance of the product and provided approval to move forward, we will have you submit a purchase order that will define the quantity, the timing, and any special considerations. From there, our team will start sourcing work from our extensive list of qualified vendors for all raw materials needed to meet the requirements of the P.O. We will also help you to source your packaging or have you ship us packaging that you have sourced. Once we have all your packaging and materials, we can start manufacturing your product in our factory.

Third, once your project, now approved and released to volume production, is in production we will keep you informed as to status as it moves through the various stages of production from blending to filling to finally packaging.

We will blend the batches to fill the requirements on your purchase order. We will send your product to a third-party lab for microbiology specific testing. After your product’s results are in and within specifications, the blended bulk material will move to our filling department for filling and packaging. We will send your product in for another round of microbiology tests to ensure that your product is within specifications for the use and safety of your consumers. We will then prepare your product to ship and help you to secure your preferred shipping method.
