Ten vials make a box, which covers a development bench and a pilot run. Production quantities are quoted separately, once we know the size of your batch and how often it is made.

A factory's purchase list of raw materials for cosmetics runs to dozens of lines. We fill two of them, both cosmetic active ingredients, and leave the bases, preservatives, colours and fragrance to the houses you already buy from.

What a batch brings for your files:

• Its certificate of analysis. The batch number on it is the one your goods-in record and your production record should carry.
• Its INCI name and CAS number, in the form a formula sheet and a printed ingredient list use.
• Its grade, on the vial. COS marks cosmetic grade. Our 50 mg GHK-Cu vial is a research-grade item, marked RUO, and is never sold for cosmetics.
• Its storage condition, so the warehouse knows where the box belongs.

On request we also send the manufacturer's specification sheet and the safety data sheet.

In federal Iraq, each imported consignment of cosmetics or chemicals needs a Certificate of Conformity under the Conformity Assessment Programme, issued before shipment by an authorised body and checked when the goods arrive. The Kurdistan Region runs a separate scheme. Ask us how this applies to your order before you confirm. Registering the finished product is the brand owner's task; we take no part in the filing. Importing cosmetics into Iraq: registration and conformity

When a factory makes your products under your brand, say at the quote stage who pays and who receives. The quotation can be made out to the brand with delivery to the factory, or made out to the factory itself. The batch certificate goes with the goods, so the factory checks them against the same paper the brand keeps on file.

We supply factories and brands in both, delivering to business addresses in Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok and the other provinces. Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region each have their own Ministry of Health; which rules apply to your finished products is a question for your regulatory adviser.

For a development quantity, describe the product you are working on and the amount your trials will use. Nothing is held ready: each ingredient is sourced after you confirm. The quotation gives the delivery date. A factory planning a production slot should name the date it needs on the enquiry.

• The wording on your pack. Our pages state chemistry and grade and stop there. Your product's claims are settled between you and your regulatory adviser.
• The purpose. These ingredients are sold for products used on skin, hair or nails. Any other use is outside what we supply.

Companies that show a company registration certificate and, where the activity needs it, the licence for that activity: cosmetic manufacturers, contract manufacturers, brand owners and traders in cosmetic raw materials. Home formulators and other private buyers are refused.
