How we compare

Sourcing options

  • Request 25 kg trial drum for formulation validation before commercial order.
  • Compare quotation on active matter basis rather than only price per kilogram of supplied material.
  • Ask for both 25 kg/drum and 200 kg/drum pricing if both pack sizes are available.
  • Source with pre-shipment COA approval and retained sample agreement for first orders.
  • Consider supplier audit or third-party inspection for recurring overseas supply.
  • Request freight quotation with SDS-based DG review before confirming Incoterms.
Human review

Compliance notes

  • Request current COA matching the quoted batch or representative recent batch.
  • Request SDS in the destination-market language or English and confirm GHS classification before shipment.
  • Request TDS/specification sheet showing test methods for activity content, solid content, sodium chloride, pH, appearance, and any cosmetic-relevant impurities.
  • Confirm INCI name, CAS number, and composition with supplier documentation; do not rely only on marketplace title text.
  • Clarify whether the offered material is cosmetic grade and whether GMP, ISO, halal, vegan, RSPO, non-animal origin, or other buyer-specific declarations are available if required.
  • Check whether any residual solvents, heavy metals, microbial limits, dioxane/EO-related statements, nitrosamine risk statements, or allergen statements are applicable to the supplied grade.
  • Confirm DG/non-DG status with the supplier’s SDS and freight forwarder; classification may depend on formulation, concentration, and destination rules.
  • Import eligibility, cosmetic ingredient acceptance, and labeling requirements must be verified by the buyer for the destination country before purchase.
