Frequently asked questions
Is Thailand a good place to manufacture cosmetics?
Yes. Thailand combines ASEAN-GMP and FDA-grade standards, abundant botanical ingredients, competitive costs and decades of OEM/ODM experience, making it one of the top cosmetic manufacturing hubs in South-East Asia.
What is the difference between OEM, ODM and OBM?
OEM = the factory makes your supplied formula; ODM = the manufacturer develops the formula/design and you brand it; OBM = the manufacturer also helps build and own the brand. Most Thai manufacturers offer OEM and ODM, and some (like Derma Innovation) offer OBM.
What are typical MOQs in Thailand?
MOQs vary by factory and product, commonly ranging from around 100–1,000 units for ready/private-label formulas up to higher volumes for fully custom development. Indie-friendly manufacturers tend to offer the lowest MOQs.
Are Thai cosmetic manufacturers certified for export?
Reputable Thai manufacturers hold ASEAN-GMP and ISO certifications, register products with the Thai FDA, and many support export compliance for markets such as the EU, US, China and the Middle East.
