This allows you to quickly launch a professional product line under your own brand name, leveraging our expertise and established quality standards with minimal development time.
It all begins with understanding your unique vision. We schedule an in-depth consultation to discuss your product ideas, target market, desired formulations, technical requirements, and business objectives. This foundational step ensures we align our capabilities with your specific goals and market positioning, setting a clear path forward and establishing a collaborative working relationship.
Our dedicated R&D team takes your concept and translates it into a tangible formula. Based on the consultation, we develop and refine compositions, focusing on ingredient efficacy, stability, safety, and sensory attributes. We work collaboratively, providing updates and seeking your feedback throughout the development phase until the formula precisely meets your expectations and is ready for scale-up.
Once the formula is finalized, we produce samples for your thorough review and evaluation. This is a critical stage where you assess the product's texture, scent, performance, and overall quality in your own environment. We welcome your detailed feedback for any necessary adjustments before proceeding. Production moves forward only after you provide explicit, written approval of the final sample, guaranteeing your complete satisfaction.
With the formula approved, we move to the manufacturing phase in our GMP-certified facility. Production is carried out with meticulous attention to detail and strict adherence to hygienic protocols using advanced equipment. Simultaneously, our quality control team performs comprehensive testing at various production stages, verifying purity, consistency, and adherence to specifications before the product moves to the next step, ensuring every unit meets our high standards.
We coordinate the procurement of your chosen packaging and prepare for filling. Our advanced filling lines are equipped to handle diverse packaging types and product consistencies with precision and efficiency. We ensure accurate filling weights/volumes, secure sealing, and prepare the products for subsequent labeling and final assembly. Compatibility testing ensures the formula remains stable and performs optimally within the selected packaging throughout its shelf life.
Navigating complex cosmetic regulations is our expertise. We ensure your product formulation, ingredients, and labeling comply with the requirements of your target markets (e.g., EU Cosmetics Regulation, FDA guidelines, etc.). We prepare necessary documentation, including Product Information Files (PIF), and handle notifications where required, providing you with full regulatory peace of mind and ensuring your product is ready for legal sale.
The final step is the careful packaging and dispatch of your finished goods. Our logistics team manages shipping to your specified destination, ensuring products arrive safely and on time, anywhere in the world.
