Questions and answers for users this week
There's a lot of interesting questions coming up backstage this week.
Someone was just about to make a brand, and asked OEM minimum order quantity if they could talk about 300 items; someone bought 10% niacinamide and wiped the whole face of redness; and someone argued with me in the comment area: sensitive skin can we use A alcohol?
I picked out the five most representative questions with the highest repetition rate, using the full truth that we accumulated during the ingredient table and factory negotiations. You can also keep asking questions at the end of the text. You might be on next week.
Q1: sensitive skin, is it possible to use A alcohol?
One sentence: yes, but first fix the wall and then light the light.
I compared skin barrier to the brick wall structure: horny cells are bricks, intercellular lipids are ash. The problem with sensitive skin is often the lack of ash plasma, when it comes directly to A alcohol (retinol), which is tantamount to partying on a leaky roof - stimulation only adds to the problem.
My proposal is in three steps:
- Ceramide + cholesterol + fatty acid, with repairing frost at approximately 3:1:1 morbid;
- Starting with low concentration: 0.025% or even 0.05% A alcohol is first established for tolerance, twice a week;
- Buffering method: A soothing (centella asiatica, bisabolol, panthenol), A moisturizing
Evidentiary Level: A human study of alcohol improvement fine lines is adequate (high evidence level), but the tolerance path of sensitive skin using A alcohol is more industry consensus than large RCT. So don't listen to anyone who says "sensitive skin is free" and step by step.
Q2: niacinamide concentration, is the taller you get?
Nope. About 5% is gold dessert, more than 10% marginal gains decline, stimulating risk rises.
The niacinamide, this ingredient, is very welcome: oil control, brightening, repairing barrier, and anti-age barrier, all fit in. However, many people were led astray by the narrative “high concentration = strong efficacy”.
See data:
- More than 2%: oil control, brightening began to have a sensory effect;
- 5%: brightening, downsized pores, best evidence of improved skin texture;
- 10% and above: brightening was found to be slightly faster in some studies, but the probability of redness, sting and itching increased significantly.
I used to draw an analogy: niacinamide, like salt in soup, which tasted only when it was enough, but one fell in. The core is valid ingredient after ingredient in .
OEM formulation recommends that the popular line be 3-5% and the endurance line be 5-10%, but must fit the soothing system and not be naked concentration.
Q3: Can you talk about 300 items?
Frankly, 300 items of regular skin protection are difficult to talk about, but not completely impossible.
Standard lotion / fine OEM minimum order quantity is usually 500-1000. Why not 300?
But 300 is not dead:
- Factory spot model packaging materials is selected to save the fees;
- Factory mature formulation (ODM mode), not depth customization;
- Sheet mask, clean face, mist, which are relatively simple processes;
- Talk to factory about “trial production + return”: 300 for the first time, plus over 1,000 for 30 days.
Key reminder: For any quotation below 500, it is important to ask whether “it contains complete regulatory filing information, whether it contains third party quality inspection and whether it contains packaging materials as a whole”. There is often a lack of information behind low prices.
Q4: Why are some products ingredient long, but ineffective?
This is typical of "ingredient stacks containing fine formulation".
Okay formulation = moisturizing base layer + efficacy active layer + security stabilization layer. Many products ingredient Table 30, line, looks luxurious, but:
- Active ingredient after 15th place, and concentration below the threshold;
- Ingredient fights each other, and pH conflicts make it impossible to absorb;
- Preservatives, perfumes, thickenings dominate, and the real efficacy ingredient is just a dot.
I'm going to use marketing to ask four questions:
- What is the source of the evidence?
- Ingredient transparent? (Is there a vague “plant extract” without a specific location?
- Is the time reasonable? (Dialogue of “7 days brightening” direct lull)
- Is the cross-dimensional comparison exaggerated?
My habit: getting the product first looks at ingredient at the top of the table eight bits. The first five are the main ingredients of the dish, and the back is the spices. If the first five levels are water, glycerin, alcohol, silicon oil, Capom, then efficacy is basically supported by the following trace ingredient, which is hardly surprising.
Q5: Is it possible to fold clean, acid, oil control all the fine in the summer?
Stop it. That's the "fructified rubber" -- irritation ingredient folding.
Oily acne-prone skin is the easiest mistake in the summer: clay mask + salicylic acid cotton + oil control fine + clay mask + alpha hydroxy acid fine at night. As a result, the oil was out of control, the barrier broke first, and the thorium got worse.
The priority of inflammation tells me that oil, pox and sensitivity are often rooted in chronic inflammation. The primary task of skin protection is to combat inflammation, not to accumulate efficacy ingredient.
Oily acne-prone skin route:
Principle: Every time routine puts in one main attacker, the rest is supported. The acids and the A-barrel are also high concentration VC and high concentration niacinamide.
At the end.
There's actually a common logic behind the five questions: skin protection is not the .ingredient, the more accurate and effective it is; OEM is not the lower the price, the better it is to match your stage and team abilities.
I used to say ingredient tables are the real basis for value judgements, not packaging and stories. It's particularly important to brand people -- you don't even know what you're talking about. How do we get this straight?
Next weekend we'll continue to select user questions and answers. What's your problem with skin or OEM? Welcome. I'll pick the most representative one for next week's collection.
