Quality
Every company has their own definition of quality, but as a skincare manufacturer, quality is our most important business practice. So what does “quality” mean to Meridian Trade?
Product Development
At Meridian Trade, we know exceptional products stem from strong collaborations. That's why we've established a streamlined, cooperative development process that combines in-depth research, cutting-edge techniques, and authentic dedication. We begin by tuning into customer feedback, market trends, and advancements in beauty sciences. From this foundation, we investigate premium components and develop targeted product concepts that align with genuine demands and everyday lifestyles. Our dedicated in-house team then transforms these concepts into reality. Our experts in formulation and chemistry experiment, adjust, and perfect until the product excels in performance and user experience. Next, we distribute initial samples to our staff and their networks for practical input, allowing us to refine aspects like feel, aroma, and efficacy prior to advancement. Once validated by our testing community, every formulation undergoes comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluations, including external independent laboratory assessments, to confirm it's secure, potent, and primed for manufacturing. After final optimizations and successful scaling to production volumes, we can confidently deliver that Meridian Trade provides dependable, superior products that meet our collective expectations.
Ingredient Sourcing
We procure from reliable suppliers and mandate thorough documentation for all materials entering our operations, including Certificates of Analysis, Safety Data Sheets, Technical Specs, and additional verifications for supplied ingredients. We meticulously track our stock by batch identifier, storage position, and shelf life, ensuring that when we prepare new lots, they're composed of fresh, ethically obtained elements from global sources. For us, this is the cornerstone of quality control.
Testing
We examine each manufacturing run to confirm uniformity in hue, thickness, fragrance, pH levels, and to verify the absence of contaminants like bacteria, fungi, or mold. All results are digitally archived, and we can generate a Certificate of Analysis for any product or component on demand, along with Safety Data Sheets. This ensures you can trust that every item dispatched from our facility is safe for consumer use.
Batching
Excellence is inherent in our production scales. We produce in modest quantities since high-quality beauty ingredients often have limited longevity compared to synthetic alternatives. We avoid letting your goods linger in storage for extended periods before reaching you, guaranteeing the freshest possible delivery. We conduct batching routinely, which requires precise oversight. Thus, we preserve a sample from each batch, cataloged by its unique code. This sample aids in comparing subsequent batches for consistency and assessing long-term stability. We also carry out ongoing production inspections to verify compliance with defined standards at every stage. When sourcing products and materials from Meridian Trade, you're investing in more than just goods or supplies—you're securing assurance for the items you offer your clientele.
Manufactured Ingredients
In addition to incorporating our produced ingredients into recipes, we offer them for direct purchase via our site. This encompasses our essential oil mixtures, carrier oil fusions, protective antioxidant formulas, and exfoliating acid combinations, expertly developed by certified specialists and chemists.
Safety
As a production hub, our team's well-being is paramount. We collaborate with OSHA to maintain full compliance and stay current with all guidelines. Beyond scrutinizing our inputs and premises for hygiene and purity, we're always refining our methods and evolving alongside the sector.
Sustainability
Meridian Trade is dedicated to eco-conscious practices and forward-thinking resource strategies. We view ourselves as part of a larger ecosystem, striving to promote and advance sustainable initiatives across the field. These principles guide our operations and choices every day.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions
At Meridian Trade, we employ biodegradable fillers crafted from sustainable starches, alongside cartons constructed from repurposed fibers. Upon receiving our shipments, including any containers, we encourage you to repurpose or properly recycle them to extend their lifecycle! For our containers, we prioritize recycled materials and are continually exploring and evaluating more environmentally sound alternatives that maintain durability against the demands of beauty essentials. We're perpetually seeking innovative methods to support a greener world, and we trust that you and your clientele will appreciate the positive contributions you're making in partnership with us.
Ethically Procured Components
Merely selecting premium components isn't sufficient—from the origin of the supply network to the end result, discerning beauty consumers value the influence their choices exert on people and the planet.
Our Component Approach
Shoppers are increasingly scrutinizing ingredient labels prior to purchases—impress them with our carefully curated selections. As a certified cruelty-free operation under recognized standards, we exclusively acquire non-animal-tested, fully verified components. We also prioritize the most eco-responsible and fair-trade sourced options available. Our established ties with suppliers allow us to adapt swiftly to market fluctuations and remain attuned to evolving component trends. In formulating with these elements, we weigh multiple considerations such as absorption rates, efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and paramount quality. We lean toward natural origins where feasible, often choosing sustainably harvested variants when obtainable. Should we incorporate a lab-created element, it's a deliberate decision, generally to enhance formula longevity or to uphold vegan and humane principles.
