Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating General Donations to the Ukraine

  • Donations to the Ukraine

    Posted by Stanley on March 7, 2022 at 5:36 pm

    A CM (contract manufacturer) wants to produce personal care products (hand sanitizer, lotion, shampoo/body wash, etc..) and donate to the efforts for Ukraine.

    My question has to do with labeling on the bottles.  They want to use generic labels not attached to a specific brand.  I am not sure how to achieve this so it would be “legitimate.”  Would having a name, what the product is (lotion for example), and ingredients be enough?

    If any of you have products that you can donate to the Ukraine…I am in contact with the effort here in the Southern California area.  Please feel free to connect with me and we can discuss logistics. You may have to send the items to the SoCal area. I do know they want to fill cargo planes to the max versus sending smaller shipment here and there.

    @Stanley - I don’t have definitive answer, humanitarian cargo wouldn’t be subjected to customs like commercial cargo, labeling might not be the greatest concern.

    Try contact donation center for more information. NOVA Ukraine in Bay area (650) 242-5404‬.

    Thank you!
    I am in contact with the effort here in Los Angeles, CA.  They just had a cargo plane leave yesterday with a shipper that normally goes to the Ukraine.

    I would hope labeling would not be the main concern but I still want some type of integrity with products during these stressful times.  I asking companies to make generic donations that may not be not associated with major brands.
