Quality Control, Manufacturing Process

Quality Management

In each process we are meticulous in carrying out quality assurance.
Additionally, we maintain a clean working environment, and conduct continuous employee education for quality and sanitary control. Through these methods, we ensure that all our factories manufacture products that your customers can use safely.

Manufacturing Process

This is an overview of our manufacturing process for cosmetics and health supplements.

1. Acceptance of ingredients and materials

   Ingredients and materials are always carefully inspected upon deliver to our premises.

   Inspections of ingredients and materials are conducted as follows, according to the relevant GMP standards, for assessing conformity with all applicable standards and for checking for any other possible problems.

   • Based on ingredient standards: confirmation testing (e.g., appearance, odor, properties), instrumental analysis, bacterial testing, etc.
   • Based on material inspection standards: functional testing (e.g., fitting, airtightness), visual inspection (e.g., printed content), etc.

2. Weighing of ingredients

   

   Barcode management is used to prevent human errors in the process of selecting and handling ingredients.
   We precisely weigh ingredients in powder, liquid, solid, and other forms.

• 1. Bulk manufacture

     

     

     To ensure high-quality products, we conduct bulk manufacturing (weighing and preparation) with the optimal equipment for the specific production item and production volume. The manufacturing is performed in a strictly controlled clean room, with appropriate clothing management and entry/exit procedures.

     In addition to fine-tuning all equipment, we visually monitor the condition of bulk preparations, paying close attention to the risk of physical contamination.

  2. Quality inspection

     

     Bulk preparations are stringently tested and inspected for pH, viscosity, appearance, odor, usability, specific gravity, quantity, and other parameters.

     Although the quality of bulk preparation is checked for every production batch, microbiological tests are also performed after the final filling process, to verify that the formula is not contaminated with bacteria.

  3. Filling

     

     

     Containers for lotions, creams, and other formats are air-cleaned one by one to keep them clean and free of dirt and dust.
     We can also fill containers according to the desired bulk viscosity and specifications for the specific production item.

     

     

     Stick-type products such as lip cream are either filled into molds to shape the formula or filled directly into a container.

  4. Finishing and packaging

     

     Before commencing this task, employees wash their hands, check the length of their nails, and make sure to wear a cap, mask, and gloves.
     As packaging is performed, each package is visually inspected, one by one, to check its quality.

  5. In-process inspections

     In the course of every process, we conduct a series of inspections to check on weight, production batch printing, opening torque, appearance, scratches, contamination, and other points.

     To ensure that we deliver products that can be used with complete peace of mind, we pay close attention to every important detail, right up to the final process. For example, in addition to human visual inspection, we use a camera sensor system to verify that production batch information has been included.

       Capsules

     Tablets/Hard Capsules

     • Granulation and mixing

       We take care to mix the powdered ingredients of supplements uniformly.
       Depending on the ingredients, the powder is first granulated to ensure content uniformity and form granules with the binding force that enables easy tableting. The powder is then blown into the air and suspended in swirling motion to be sprayed by a granulation liquid, to prepare granules suitable for the tablet press.

     • 

       Tableting

       Tablets are formed by applying pressure to the powder ingredients. We can manufacture tablets in sizes of 6 to 10 mm (diameter) to suit the formula and usage.

     • 

       Hard capsule filling

       Mixed ingredients are filled into capsules.
       Hard capsules are typically used for sealing ingredients with strong aromas and tastes, or for ingredients that are difficult to tablet.

       Filled capsules are passed through a sorting machine that separates items according to weight, to remove any capsules that do not conform to specifications.

     Soft Capsules

     • 

       Film-forming

       After dissolving the gelatin powder and defoaming repeatedly, the viscosity is prepared.

     • 

       Inner liquid preparation

       The ingredients are uniformly dispersed in a vacuum emulsifier and subjected to repeated defoaming and stirring.

     • 

       Soft capsule molding

       The contents are passed through a die roll and ejected into a heat-molded film to form the capsule.

     • 

       Drying and inspection

       After initial drying in a tumbler, the capsule shape and the amount of moisture in the film are controlled in a drying chamber, to avoid any leaking.
       After a visual inspection for leaking capsules, size sorting is performed. The capsules are passed through a sorter to exclude non-standard capsules.

  2. Quality inspection

     

     On top of the other controls, inspectors visually check for shape, contamination, scratches, and other defects.

  3. Packaging and inspection

     

     

     Products packaged by automated packaging machines are passed through X-ray inspection machines and weight checkers.
     We pay very close attention to the final process, to ensure that we deliver products that can be used with total peace of mind.
