Compounding
Formulas are weighed and mixed in-house against a written batch record, so the version you approved is the version that gets produced.
The factory
We make it. That is the whole proposition.
Sanlavo is a hair care manufacturer in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Brands, salons and distributors come to us because the product is made here rather than sourced and relabelled.
Who we are
A manufacturing business with a sales desk in front of it.
Most private label suppliers you will speak to are traders. They take your brief, place it with a factory and pass the answer back. That model works until something needs a decision — a viscosity that feels wrong, a pump that does not fit, a label claim that will not pass in your market.
We run the other way round. The production site is the business, and the people answering your email can walk to the line. That is why the answers are specific and why the changes are possible without a re-quote chain.
We produce shampoo, conditioner, treatments, hair colour, scalp care and styling products for brands across four product families — the same families listed in the catalogue, made with your label on them.
Inside the building
Brief, batch, artwork, carton.
The work that decides whether a private label order arrives correctly is unglamorous: the brief that was read properly, the artwork that was checked, the carton that was counted.
Capability
What happens inside the building.
Four stages, one site. Nothing is subcontracted between filling and packing, which is where most delays and mismatches are introduced.
Filling
Liquid, cream, gel and foam filling across bottles, tubes, jars and sachets, with fill weight checked during the run rather than only at the end.
Labelling and cartoning
Label application, carton erection, leaflet insertion and shrink or sleeve finishing are handled on the same site as filling.
Quality control
Incoming component checks, in-process checks and a release check against the agreed specification before the carton is sealed.
Quality
Checks at four points, not one.
A final inspection catches a finished problem. Checking at each stage catches the cause, which is cheaper for both of us.
- 01
Incoming
Component and raw material checks against the approved sample and specification.
- 02
In process
Appearance, fill weight, closure tightness and labelling checked through the run.
- 03
Release
Finished carton inspected against the approved artwork, count and packing scope.
- 04
Records
Batch records retained so a later question can be answered with the actual data.
Documents & systems
Factory documents, not a slide deck.
Importers and marketplaces ask for paperwork before they agree a listing. Licences, GMP certificates and market-specific records are held by the site that makes your batch, and current copies are issued per project.
- Business licence
- ISO 22716
- GMPC
- Production licence
- Halal
- FDA
The document pack
What arrives with a batch.
Product documents are issued against the batch that was actually produced. Market documents are prepared against the destination you sell into — tell us the market first and the list follows from it.
Request the document listProduct documents
Ingredient list, MSDS and certificate of analysis, issued per batch.
Market documents
Whatever the destination market requires, confirmed before production starts.
Factory evidence
Site and licence records for onboarding, shared under NDA where required.
Artwork files
Print-ready label and carton files, yours to keep.
Visits
Come and look at the line.
Buyers who visit before ordering tend to stay for years. If you are in Guangdong, we can arrange a site visit, a sample review and a look at the components we hold.
