AT A GLANCE

How do I evaluate a cosmetics project partner?

Ask who coordinates the project, who manufactures the product, what the proposed specification includes and which evidence applies to it. Compare sample approval, quantity, packaging, responsibilities and delivery terms. Request confirmation for the actual project rather than relying only on a facility video or general claims.

Who performs each part of the work?

Clarify the brand owner, project coordinator, manufacturer and packaging supplier roles. Ask who answers technical questions and who approves changes. Asya works with a manufacturing partner and coordinates the project discussion; specific production responsibilities are confirmed for the agreed scope.

Does the evidence match my project?

For a proposed certificate or test report, ask which entity, facility, product or version it covers and whether it is applicable to the current project. Request the document scope and validity information where relevant. Do not treat illustrative product imagery as evidence of a finished product or an approved performance claim.

What is included, excluded and still undecided?

Request a quotation that identifies development, sampling, packaging, filling, decoration, documentation and delivery as applicable. Ask about payment stages, ownership and changes after approval. Record unresolved points before making a commitment. A shared written scope makes it easier to compare proposals and manage the next steps.
