Getting Started

The basics of working with Boming

Our MOQ starts from 1,000 pieces per SKU for private label products using our existing formulas, and 3,000 pieces per SKU for custom formulation orders. This flexible approach allows both startups and established brands to work with us at a scale that fits their business. For first-time clients testing the market, we recommend starting with our private label option due to its lower entry point.
Getting started is simple. Step 1: Contact us via our website, email, or WhatsApp to discuss your requirements including target market, product type, and desired positioning. Step 2: Our project manager will present suitable formulas or begin custom development based on your brief. Step 3: You receive and evaluate samples, requesting any adjustments needed. Step 4: Once the sample is approved, confirm the order, finalize packaging, and we begin mass production. A dedicated project manager guides you through every step.
Yes, we provide 2-3 free samples for evaluation so you can assess the quality, texture, fragrance, and performance of our products firsthand. Additional sample iterations or custom formulation samples may incur a small development fee. Shipping costs for samples are borne by the client, typically sent via international express (DHL, FedEx, UPS) for fastest delivery.
We manufacture a comprehensive range of hair care and styling products, including: Hair Color (semi-permanent, permanent, ammonia-free), Hair Wax Sticks (edge control, styling sticks), Hair Cream & Pomade (clay, paste, gel), Shampoo (anti-dandruff, color-protect, moisturizing), Conditioner (daily, deep conditioning), Hair Masks (keratin, argan oil, protein treatments), and more. With 1,000+ proven formulas in our library, we cover virtually every hair care category.
For samples, typical turnaround is 5-7 business days from confirmation of requirements. For mass production, lead time is approximately 25-30 days after sample approval, deposit received, and packaging materials are confirmed. Rush orders may be accommodated depending on production capacity. Our project manager will provide a detailed timeline tailored to your specific order during the planning stage.

Formulation & Quality

R&D capabilities, certifications, and quality assurance

Absolutely. Our in-house R&D team of 30+ senior chemists specializes in developing custom formulations tailored to your exact specifications. Whether you need a specific ingredient profile, texture, scent, color, or performance characteristic, we can develop it from scratch. We can also modify existing formulas to better suit your target market. The custom formulation process typically involves 2-3 rounds of sampling and refinement.
Our facility holds multiple internationally recognized certifications: ISO 22716 (Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics), GMPC (Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics), FDA registered facility for export to the United States, and full compliance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC No 1223/2009). These certifications ensure that every product manufactured meets the highest global quality and safety standards.
Yes, product safety is our top priority. All products undergo rigorous testing protocols including: Stability testing (temperature, light, and humidity resistance over time), microbial testing (to ensure products are free from harmful bacteria and fungi), and heavy metal testing (to verify compliance with international safety limits). We also conduct pH testing, viscosity checks, and preservative efficacy testing. Test reports are provided with every production batch.
Yes, we have extensive experience formulating clean beauty and natural hair care products. We offer sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, and vegan formulations using plant-derived ingredients. Our R&D team can develop products with natural botanical extracts, essential oils, and organic-certified raw materials. We can also help you pursue third-party certifications for your products if required by your target market.
We source both imported and domestic premium-grade ingredients from certified suppliers. All raw materials come with full traceability documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Key ingredients are sourced from leading global suppliers such as BASF, Dow, Ashland, and Croda. Our procurement team conducts incoming quality inspections on every batch to ensure consistency and purity before they enter production.

Packaging & Branding

Design, packaging options, and regulatory compliance

Yes, we have an in-house graphic design team that can create complete packaging solutions for your brand. This includes label design, bottle and container selection, outer box artwork, shrink wraps, and display materials. We work closely with you on brand colors, typography, imagery, and messaging to ensure the final packaging reflects your brand identity and appeals to your target audience. Design mockups are provided for approval before production.
We offer a wide variety of packaging formats to suit different product types and brand positioning: Tubes (aluminum, plastic, laminated), Bottles (PET, HDPE, glass, airless pump), Jars (plastic, glass, acrylic), Stick containers (for wax sticks, balms), Sachets (for samples and travel sizes), and Custom molds for unique shapes. We maintain a large stock library of standard containers and can also source or develop custom packaging to your specifications.
Yes, our regulatory affairs team handles all aspects of product labeling compliance. This includes accurate INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) lists, FDA-compliant labeling for the US market, EU CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) registration, and country-specific labeling requirements. We ensure your products meet all mandatory labeling regulations for your target markets, including ingredient declarations, warnings, batch codes, and expiry information.
Yes, we can fill into client-supplied containers and packaging materials. If you already have packaging sourced from another supplier, simply ship the materials to our factory and we will handle the filling, sealing, labeling, and final assembly. We do recommend sending samples of your containers in advance so our production team can verify compatibility with our filling equipment and ensure a smooth production run.
