Enterprise Capacity: The Oulilai Group & Aodai Infrastructure
A premier South China manufacturing powerhouse driving technological transformation across color cosmetics. Integrating academic research, automated filling lines, and an extensive patent portfolio.
Strategic Dual-Hub Synthesis: Huadu R&D Center & Qingyuan Smart Base
Guangdong Aodai Cosmetics Co., Ltd., functioning as a flagship entity within the Oulilai Group alongside our sister company Aobeisi in Huadu, Guangzhou, operates at the nexus of cosmetic science and high-throughput production. Operating across a combined 70,000 m²+ intelligent manufacturing campus, our facilities represent the modern zenith of cosmetic contract manufacturing.
Our manufacturing ecosystem solves the historic dilemma faced by enterprise beauty brands: choosing between scientific innovation and mass production throughput. By linking our doctoral workstations directly to 30+ automated, clean-air controlled filling and packing lines, every lip gloss set formulation—whether high-refractive glass gloss, velvet matte mud, or peptide-infused lip plumping oil—transitions from 500ml pilot runs to 500,000-unit mass retail commitments with absolute batch consistency and uncompromised chemical stability.
The ODM Lipgloss Set Value Proposition
Unlike fragmented supply chains requiring separate contracts for formulation, plastic injection tooling, secondary box assembly, and compliance testing, our turnkey ODM platform delivers unified accountability.
- Proprietary polymer matrices preventing sticky residue while maximizing refractive index
- Dual-end and multi-chamber component tooling with automated hot-stamp labeling
- Pre-validated ingredient portfolios for seamless FDA MoCRA and EU CPNP approval
Advanced Lip Chemistry: Rheology, Optical Refraction & Pigment Suspension
Lip gloss sets require far more than standard color blending. They demand sophisticated colloidal chemistry to ensure coordinated color stories, uniform skin feel across varying finishes, and zero syneresis.
Non-Tacky Film Former Matrices
Modern consumers reject the heavy, hyper-tacky feel of traditional polybutene formulations. Our laboratory deploys high-purity hydrogenated polyisobutene paired with engineered ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer networks.
- Creates a flexible, breathable barrier with high cushion feel
- Controlled thixotropy: low shear upon swipe, structured at rest
- Eliminates feathering and bleed into perioral fine lines
High-Refraction Optical Clarity
Achieving a multi-dimensional "glass-lip" or "wet-look" mirror sheen without solvent odor requires optimizing ingredient refractive index (RI) ratings above 1.48 via customized botanical ester complexes.
- Diisostearyl Malate combined with synthetic squalane for pristine clarity
- Surface-treated borosilicate pearls held in uniform steric suspension
- Zero hazing across rapid thermal shift tests (-10°C to +45°C)
Active Encapsulation & Plumping
Contemporary lip gloss sets demand quantifiable clinical skincare claims. We formulate with bio-compatible functional actives that hydrate, smooth, and visibly amplify lip volume over short and extended cycles.
- Sodium Hyaluronate sub-micron spheres expanding on epidermal moisture contact
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and 38 promoting long-term collagen matrix synthesis
- Micro-dosed Vanillyl Butyl Ether or ginger root extract for tingling rush

Frequently Asked Questions: Technical, Commercial & Quality Assurances
Clear, unhedged answers directly from our formulation chemists, supply chain planners, and international regulatory directors.
What is the realistic MOQ for custom ODM lip gloss sets?
For custom ODM lip gloss sets, MOQ depends primarily on packaging customization tiers. Utilizing our catalog of stock bottles, caps, and standard doe-foot applicators, we can accommodate introductory orders as low as 3,000 to 5,000 sets (e.g., 3-pack or 4-pack sets, totaling 9,000–20,000 individual filled units across balanced shades). For fully customized injection tooling (bespoke outer caps, custom bottle geometry, or proprietary molded gift boxes), minimum runs generally begin at 10,000 to 12,000 sets to amortize tooling and color-batching costs effectively.
How do you prevent pigment settling, pearl clumping, and phase syneresis over time?
Phase separation and pigment settling in low-to-medium viscosity lip glosses occur when the yield value of the fluid matrix is insufficient to overcome gravitational forces. We formulate using a proprietary three-dimensional gelling network combining silica dimethyl silylate, stearalkonium hectorite, and specific hydrogenated copolymer blocks. This structure provides thixotropic flow: the matrix liquifies under the shear stress of the applicator wand for smooth spreading, but instantly resets its gel strength upon resting on the lips or inside the bottle, keeping heavy borosilicate pearls and iron oxides suspended indefinitely across hot and cold logistics.
Can you manufacture 100% vegan, clean, and cruelty-free lip gloss formulas?
Yes. Over 85% of our current export formulation library is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We replace traditional carmine (CI 75470, cochineal-derived) with precision blends of synthetic iron oxides, Red 7 Lake, Red 28 Lake, and titanium dioxide. Animal-derived beeswax and lanolin are completely substituted with high-performance plant waxes (candelilla, synthetic carnauba, sunflower seed wax) and synthetic squalane. Our facility is certified cruelty-free compliant, ensuring zero animal testing throughout the entire ingredient supply chain.
How do you manage formula-to-wiper compatibility to avoid leakage and neck buildup?
One of the most frequent consumer complaints in lip gloss packaging is formula oozing, messy bottle necks, or insufficient product loading on the wand. We conduct standardized wiper-stem extraction friction testing. The internal orifice of the LDPE wiper must match both the outer diameter of the wand stem and the exact viscosity (measured in centipoise via Brookfield RVT) of the formula. This ensures that the doe-foot applicator emerged with the precise dosage required for a single lip application while wiping the stem clean, preventing pneumatic backpressure and cap creep during air shipment.
What stability testing protocols do you execute prior to mass production release?
Before scaling any ODM formula to our 30+ automated lines, we perform comprehensive stability stress tests: (1) Thermal cycling between -10°C, 4°C, 25°C, 40°C, and 48°C at 75% relative humidity over 12 weeks; (2) Centrifugation at 4,000 RPM for 30 minutes to evaluate syneresis and colloidal suspension breakdown; (3) UV/light exposure tests in Xenon arc chambers to detect photo-degradation of pigments and fragrances; and (4) Weight-loss and seal integrity testing to confirm that volatile components do not evaporate through the container walls or closure threads.
What specific documentation is provided to support US FDA MoCRA and EU CPNP registration?
We supply a turnkey compliance data package for each SKU in your lip gloss set: Full qualitative and quantitative formulation breakdown with standardized INCI naming; Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for all raw lots; Raw Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS); Toxicological Risk Profile data for all active substances; Heavy metal ICP-MS screening reports (Lead < 1ppm, Arsenic < 1ppm, Mercury < 0.1ppm, Cadmium < 1ppm); USP 51/61/62 microbial challenge data; and container migration screening reports for direct-contact food-grade plastics.
