Full Description
The Swedish company is searching for an experienced manufacturer to outsource the production of their self-developed organic hair care products. Due to the high demand for organic hair care products, the company has launched its line of hair care products that meet customers' requirements in terms of functionality, ingredients, scents, and price. The company aspires to scale up the production and sales of its products, both to national and international B2B and B2C clients.

Initially, the company is interested in outsourcing the production of three of its products.
1. Hair mask, rich in moisture and protein to hydrate and strengthen the hair.
2. Spray conditioner with heat protection properties.
3. Leave-in conditioner with deep moisturizing properties and natural protein.

Due to product and customer safety regulations, all products require an explicit expiration date. Since the products will be sold under the company's brand, the manufacturer must be able to produce under a white label agreement, preferably including the Swedish company's logos and labels.

The ideal manufacturer should be familiar working with the following ingredients since they are used in the company's products (the leave-in conditioner has already a specified list of ingredients, see below).
