Quality & compliance

This is how we manufacture.

Every standard, record and document we work to, with its exact status. Internally implemented, project-specific, in process and formally certified are not interchangeable.

Internally implemented

An operating framework OUI runs itself.

Project-specific

Prepared per product, within route and market scope.

In process

Underway, with a stated scope.

Formally certified

Issued by an accredited body.

01 / Standards

Standards, stated precisely.

Each record names its governing standard, its scope and its exact status.

Internally implemented

ISO 22716:2007 — cosmetics GMP

Governing standard: ISO 22716:2007
  • Our operating procedures are structured around ISO 22716:2007 cosmetics good manufacturing practice principles.
  • This is an internally implemented operating framework, not a claim of third-party certification.
  • The framework covers batch records, raw-material traceability, equipment hygiene, personnel practice and documented procedures.
Project-specific

NAFDAC-readiness documentation

Scope: per project
  • Label input documents, INCI lists and product specifications prepared for registration once the formula is finalised.
  • Registration filing, third-party costs and submission responsibilities are confirmed separately.
Project-specific

UK/EU market documentation

Scope: per project
  • CPSR-ready records, INCI-compliant label inputs and Responsible Person coordination where included in the project scope.

Batch records, traceability and documented procedures sit behind every run.
02 / Testing

Testing follows the product, route and market.

Stability and packaging compatibility are scoped according to the selected development route. Preservative-efficacy, claims, efficacy and other external laboratory work are separately scoped where required.

Stability and compatibility

Scoped by route. Included on Route C, available separately on Routes A and B.

Packaging compatibility

Applies to the final agreed packaging supplied within the testing window.

Claims, efficacy and external labs

Preservative-efficacy, claims and external laboratory work are scoped separately.

Reports are named publicly only when they exist, apply to the stated product and can be shared.

03 / Documentation

What each route comes with.

Included7

  • Label input document
  • INCI ingredient list
  • Product specification sheet
  • SDS/MSDSIncluded where applicable
  • Packaging compatibility reviewIncluded for agreed packaging
  • Label information review
  • NAFDAC-readiness documentation

Available, quoted separately4

  • Stability and compatibility testing
  • Claims/efficacy testing
  • CPSR for UK/EU markets
  • External laboratory testing

Packaging compatibility review applies to the final agreed packaging supplied within the required testing window. Items marked 'Available separately' are scoped and quoted separately; the final inclusion list for your project is confirmed in your written quotation.

04 / Fees and regulatory scope

Fees and regulatory scope, clearly drawn.

Sampling and development fees pay for the formulation work, sample production and revisions stated within the selected route. They pay for work performed, are not automatically credited against production, and are separate from production costs unless a written quotation explicitly says otherwise.

OUI provides the product and formula documentation specified for each route and supports regulatory readiness once the formula is finalised. Registration filing, third-party laboratory work and additional market-specific requirements are scoped separately unless explicitly included in the quotation.

Development feesFormulation, samples and revisions.Stated within each route, and not automatically credited against production.
05 / Sampling policy

Paid sampling. Two revision rounds. No ambiguity.

Sampling fees are paid and non-refundable. Packaging is confirmed before formulation begins.
