FAQ for OEM buyers

Q. What is the typical MOQ and lead time for generic Galactomyces ferment filtrate?

Supplier-disclosed industry ranges are typically 10–50 kg with 4–8 week lead times for cosmetic-grade Galactomyces ferment filtrate from established Japanese fermentation facilities. Production is year-round (the input is yeast culture, not a seasonal raw material), so scheduling is generally driven by batch capacity and standardization rather than supply availability.

Q. Can buyers commission custom Galactomyces strain or substrate development?

Some Japanese fermentation contract manufacturers will develop custom strain × substrate combinations for brand owners under exclusivity terms, with separate development fees and minimum annual offtake commitments. This is a multi-month engagement (often 6+ months) and includes process development, QC method establishment, and stability work. For most brands, selecting from existing supplier preparations is more cost- and time-efficient.

Q. What spec parameters should buyers specify on the COA?

Beyond standard cosmetic raw-material parameters (microbiological limits, pH, color/odor), buyers should request total amino acid content and specifically declared major organic acids (e.g. lactic, citric) where these support the brand's claim positioning. Solids/dry-matter content and any preservative system used in the filtrate should be declared. For prestige positioning, request batch-level analytical data rather than nominal spec ranges.
