Liquid hand wash OEM/ODM manufacturing
Liquid Hand Wash · Hand Soap · OEM/ODM
Liquid hand wash is used many times a day at home, in offices, restaurants and hotels. Because hands are washed so often, the main requirement is to clean quickly without drying the skin — dry, cracked hands are what make users switch products. Next come a fine lather that rinses fast, a pleasant scent and a reasonable cost per wash. A good formula uses a balanced cleansing system with added humectants and emollients to make up for the natural oils that are lost. Many brands also need large formats such as refill pouches and bulk cans for hotels and offices. Butter-C offers full-service OEM/ODM manufacturing, from formula to labeled finished goods and the cosmetic product notification dossier.

Hero ingredients
Aloe, vitamin E, green tea, fruit extracts.
Fragrance and color
