6 steps to manufacturing your cosmetic product
Have a vision for a new cosmetic product? Perhaps you’ve noticed a gap in the market or a customer group that’s been overlooked for too long. Or maybe, you believe there’s nothing out there that’s truly working to address your customers’ cosmetic needs.
Whether it's a beauty solution that cleans, enhances or accentuates the skin, our cosmetic manufacturing services make one thing certain: your new product won’t be just another drop in the ocean of cosmetic solutions. How do we ensure that?
For one, we specialise in crafting products that nurture the microbiome.
Our solutions are specifically formulated for your customer. They are meticulously developed and tested for optimal long-term outcomes. And, by choosing this approach, you’ll become one of the very few brands to unlock this science in the cosmetics industry.
Secondly, we offer end-to-end product development and contract manufacturing.
Whether it’s microbiome-focused or not, we ensure your products are developed to the highest standards. We’re with you every step of the way—from understanding your vision to formulating your product, testing it, developing it and even packaging it for delivery.
What’s involved in the process?
1. Consultation
No matter how established your vision is, the first step in developing your cosmetic product is to speak with our experienced team.
a) If you know exactly what you want (down to preferred ingredients, a base formulation and manufacturing requirements) we’ll help you bring that vision to life.
b) If you’re just getting started with the specifics of your idea, we’re here to consult with you and dig deeper.
One of the benefits of developing your product with us is that you get to create your own intellectual property from scratch. To get started, we’ll establish the following details.
Who is your customer?
What are their cosmetic needs?
What purpose will the product serve?
How will your product differ from similar products on the market?
2. DNA sequencing
This step is part of what makes our product development so comprehensive—particularly for those who wish to craft microbiome-focused solutions. DNA sequencing is our base for developing tailored, science-backed products. We go beyond the industry status quo by delving into genomics-based insights. By analysing rich data banks, we customise your product ingredients and formulations to address specific customer microbiome needs.
3. Research and development
At this point, our team will be equipped with in-depth knowledge about your customer and their needs. Our R&D service lays the groundwork that allows us to turn your idea into reality. Taking our accumulated bioscience knowledge and experience, we use applied research to identify an approach that will achieve your product vision. We develop, test and optimise this product approach, ensuring it serves the unique outcomes you wish to achieve.
4. Ingredient selection and formulation
As part of our development, we meticulously test and refine each formulation, selecting premium ingredients. For microbiome-focused products, we prioritise bioactive, clean, metabolite-rich ingredients and innovative formulation alternatives. Every ingredient decision we make in this phase serves a purpose, going beyond superficial cosmetic trends and the harmful industry-standard chemicals we see on the market today.
5. Contract manufacturing
Our end-to-end contract manufacturing process adheres to strict quality guidelines as well as ethical and sustainable practices. We offer our clients no minimum batch size, and with new product development packages starting at $5,500. Our Gold Coast-based team uses the latest techniques, equipment, innovative manufacturing platforms and state-of-the-art facilities to create premium products and ingredients without compromise.
6. Packaging and labelling
If you haven’t yet decided on your packaging or labelling, this is a service we can help with too. Everything we do, from product development to labelling and packaging, is eco-minded and ethically conscious.
