COSMETICS PRODUCTION

The production process of cosmetics in Yusong include 15 steps. We adopt an effective GMPC quality assurance system to monitor and manage the warehousing, R&D, production and delivery through the ERP system.

Cosmetics Production Line

At Yusong, our cosmetics production process is a meticulous journey from formulation and compounding to filling and packaging. Each stage is carefully monitored to ensure the highest quality of our skincare products. With clients’ needs fully considered, emulsification of raw materials will be carried out according to the cosmetics production plan. After that, the important process of filling and packaging will follow. The execution of this process will determine the final quality of products. Therefore, for many big manufacturing factories, including Ausmetics, special attention is paid to ensure this process works well. Repeated inspection would be carried out by the production department leader. Continuous monitoring will make sure our products stand the test.

STEP 1

Raw materials/packaging materials warehousing:

This step refers to the inspection and disassembly of raw materials and packages. Before the actual filling, the packaging materials must be strictly inspected; this includes inspections on the appearance, sealing, and other key features. The packaging materials will enter the next step of production only when they pass strict testing. If the materials don’t meet any of the criteria, they will be returned to the supplier until qualified ones are supplied.

①Hose/plastic bottle: dust removal using air gun, along with ozone disinfection

②Glass bottle: fist cleaning with water, followed by disinfection with alcohol

STEP 2
Bottle washing process:

Accurately measure the amount of raw material used in the formula, through our automatic control program.

STEP 3
Raw material measurement:

This critical process involves the use of specific emulsifiers to create a stable mix of oil and water-based ingredients. Our state-of-the-art vacuum pot is used for creating high-viscosity emulsions without air bubbles, essential for creams and ointments. For liquid detergents such as shower gel, shampoo, and makeup remover, we utilize a specialized liquid washing pot. This meticulous attention to the emulsification process ensures the consistency and quality of our cosmetic products, adhering to the highest industry standards for cosmetic emulsification.

STEP 4
Emulsification:

The semi-finished products are tested for microorganisms at a setting time of 48 hours, and the semi-finished products are tested for molds at a setting time of 72 hours.

After the material is emulsified, it must go through strict physical and chemical inspection. Only after it is qualified is it allowed to be out of the pot, and then moving on to sampling and testing; without passing the inspection, the materials will go back to emulsification following our procedures. Once all inspections are done, the semi-finished products can go to the next step of cosmetics processing, which is filling.

STEP 5
Semi-finished product inspection:

Packaging and the materials will be double-checked before filling. Since they have gone through the previous technical tests, inspection will be done by labor at this stage, making sure the materials are in good consistency. In addition, the net content will be confirmed. Sample inspection will be conducted to ensure the variance is less than 5%. This is to avoid the situation where the actual volume doesn’t match the labelling, which will cause negative impact on the consumer end. Further, product cleanliness is strictly monitored. In Ausmetics, sample inspections are carried out every 30 minutes, including inspections on the clean operation of workers and on-site hygiene. Inspection staff are constantly working hard to make sure any problem found is rectified immediately.

STEP 6
Filling:

After filling, the products will then enter the sealing process. Bottle caps need to be screwed tightly. Workers will make sure bottle screws are clean and check whether the screws are tight enough and that there is no leakage.

STEP 7
Sealing:

Inspect the finished products comprehensively. If any problem found, staff will deal with faulty products according to the “Product Control Procedure”. If products pass the tests, films would be applied and heat processed.

STEP 8
Microbiological inspection for finished product:

Products now are ready to go into carton boxes. When packing the products into boxes, staff need to check whether the text of the colored boxes is printed correctly, and whether the appearance is up to standard, as well as whether the hose and manuals are in the right place. If the boxes don’t match the labelling of the products, staff will promptly notify the suppliers to rectify it.

STEP 9
Boxing:

A comprehensive inspection of the products will take place, including that of the appearance and display. Unqualified products must be recalled, regardless of the complication. All products must have undergone strict inspections before they can be put into storage.
