Keratin Repair System OEM for Iraq Salons and Distributors
A buyer guide for Iraq distributors building a 300 ml keratin shampoo and conditioner plus 500–1000 ml professional repair mask system.
Iraq hair-care distributors do not need another generic keratin item. They need a clear system that can work in two channels: 300 ml take-home products for retail shelves and a 500–1000 ml mask for professional salon use. This structure gives buyers a familiar repair story while keeping the launch practical, easy to explain and scalable.
Why This System Fits the Iraq Market
Beauty Baghdad B2B is organized around Iraqi wholesalers, importers, retail chains and distributors. The Iraq Vortex Beauty Expo 2026 hair-care program also highlights keratin and treatment products. These are useful channel signals, but they do not prove that every keratin concept will sell. The product architecture, price ladder and salon education still determine whether a distributor can build repeat orders.
Recommended Three-SKU Architecture
300 ml Keratin Repair Shampoo
The shampoo should cleanse without leaving treated or dry hair rough. Buyers should evaluate foam, rinse speed, wet combing, fragrance retention and how the hair feels after repeated use. A repair-positioned shampoo is different from a strong clarifying shampoo used before a chemical smoothing service.
300 ml Keratin Repair Conditioner
The conditioner should deliver slip, detangling and a smoother appearance without creating a heavy coated feel. Protein level, cationic conditioning system and oil phase must be balanced for the target hair types and climate.
500 ml or 1000 ml Professional Repair Mask
The mask becomes the salon hero SKU. A 500 ml jar is easier for premium resale and smaller salons; a 1000 ml format is more suitable for backbar use and distributor-driven professional programs. Amazon’s current keratin-mask assortment shows how buyers compare softness, frizz control and manageability rather than relying on keratin wording alone.

Repair Care Is Not a Keratin Smoothing Treatment
This distinction must be clear in the brief and on the label. A daily keratin repair shampoo, conditioner and mask are cosmetic conditioning products. A professional keratin smoothing treatment may use a different formula, application process, heat protocol, safety assessment and salon training. Mixing the two concepts creates compliance risk and customer confusion.
Retail and Salon Positioning for Distributors
The 300 ml shampoo and conditioner can be sold as a home-maintenance pair through beauty stores, e-commerce and salon retail. The larger mask gives salons a visible service product and can also support professional-size resale. The same fragrance direction, color palette and claim hierarchy should connect all three SKUs.
Packaging Direction
For Iraq, a professional black, deep brown, ivory or metallic-accented design can communicate reconstruction and salon authority. English and Arabic artwork should remain easy to read. Pumps are practical for shampoo and conditioner; wide-mouth jars or heavy-duty pumps can be considered for the mask after viscosity and compatibility testing.
MOQ and Launch Planning
MOQ starts from 100 pcs per SKU for selected stable formulas using in-stock bottles. Custom formulas, colors, fragrances, and packaging are quoted based on project requirements. Professional 500 ml and 1000 ml formats should be confirmed separately because component availability and carton configuration can change the project MOQ.
Testing and Claims Buyers Should Request
Ask for formula stability, microbiological quality, packaging compatibility, wet-combing or sensory evaluation and finished-artwork review. Claims such as repairs damaged hair, reduces breakage or protects against heat should match the selected formula and supporting test plan. Avoid implying permanent structural reconstruction unless evidence supports the exact finished product.

Buyer FAQ
Can the three products start at 100 pieces each?
Selected stable formulas using available stock bottles may start from 100 pieces per SKU. A 500 ml or 1000 ml professional mask, custom fragrance, custom color or special packaging requires separate confirmation.
Can the retail and salon sizes use the same formula?
Yes, if the viscosity, pump or jar compatibility and usage directions work in both formats. The professional mask can also use a richer formula if the distributor wants a clear service upgrade.
Can you support English and Arabic labels?
Yes. The buyer supplies or confirms the final market wording, importer details and required claims. Artwork should be reviewed before production.
