What a cosmetic contract manufacturer can do for you
We develop, produce and pack products that you sell under your own name. You can start from one of our formulas or bring your own. Either way, the products are made in Italy and ready to sell in the European Union, with the paperwork done.
Contract manufacturing
Already have your own formula? We produce and pack it in our plant, under a non-disclosure agreement signed before we receive any information.
Small batches
Start with 500 units per SKU, test the market and scale up when sales grow. The same procedures and checks as large volumes.
Custom kits and gift boxes
Gift sets, promotional kits and boxes with your products and your logo, for customers, events and corporate gifts.
What we make
Our strengths are gels and creams. We work in six areas, all of them skin and body care cosmetics.
Cosmetic gels
Face and body gels, soothing and aloe gels: light, stable textures that pack well in bottles or tubes.
Creams
Face, body and hand creams, from the lightest to the richest, including exclusive formulas.
Skin care
Facial cleansers, serums, creams and treatments for a complete face line.
Body care
Shower gels, body creams and oils, scrubs: products for everyday body care.
Intimate hygiene
Intimate washes and moisturising, soothing intimate gels, formulated with care for a delicate area.
Dermocosmetics
Formulas for sensitive skin, designed for pharmacies and pharmacy chains.
We take care of the packaging
Packaging sells as much as the formula does. We have worked for years with certified suppliers, and our in-house designers prepare labels and cartons and follow them through to print.
- Tubes: ideal for gels and creams, printed with your brand. Custom cosmetic tubes
- Cylindrical bottles: one of the formats we know best, with pump, cap or dispenser. Custom cosmetic bottles
- Cartons and boxes: cartons, boxes and gift sets, another of our specialities. Custom cosmetic boxes
Who we work with
We work with companies that want their own cosmetic line but do not have, and do not want, a laboratory and a factory of their own.
- Pharmacies and pharmacy chains: a pharmacy own-brand line for the counter
- Beauty salons and spas: treatment-room and retail products under your name
- Barbershops and salons: a face and beard care line
- Online brands and Amazon sellers: exclusive products to sell online, with storage and shipping to Amazon fulfilment centres
- Wholesalers, distributors and importers: an Italian-made line for your sales network, with exclusivity and consistent reorders
- Influencers and creators: your first brand, for the community that follows you
From idea to delivery, in 6 phases
Throughout the project you have one contact: your project manager.

- Formula: choose a ready formula or we develop a custom one, and you test the samples
- Packaging and design: we choose container and carton together, our designers prepare the artwork

- Production: we produce, pack and test every batch
- Delivery: to your warehouse, or we store the goods and ship them on your behalf
Ready for the EU and UK markets
Every cosmetic sold in the European Union needs a Product Information File (PIF), a safety assessment and a notification on the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal). We prepare the documents with in-house expertise and external regulatory experts, and we make the CPNP notification for you. If your company is outside the EU, an EU Responsible Person is available through our partners.
Selling in Great Britain? The UK notification (SCPN) and a UK Responsible Person are available through our partners too.
Quality you can check
- ISO 9001:2015: quality management system certified by Dasa-Rägister
- GMP (ISO 22716): we produce according to good manufacturing practice for cosmetics
- Every batch tested: by our laboratory and by external accredited labs, including heavy metals
- Traceability: every batch has a code that follows it from raw materials to shipping

Frequently asked questions
What is your minimum order quantity?
The minimum order is 500 units per SKU (stock keeping unit), meaning one product in one format. A cream sold in two different sizes counts as two SKUs.
How long does it take to receive the products?
Delivery takes 4–6 weeks from order confirmation. We confirm the order once you have approved the samples, the packaging and the artwork.
Can I try the products before ordering?
Yes. Samples of our ready formulas are available straight away; a custom formula takes about two weeks.
Do you handle the CPNP notification?
Yes. We prepare the documentation and make the notification on the CPNP, which is required to sell cosmetics in the European Union. For the UK, the SCPN notification is handled through our partners.
Do you work with brands outside Italy?
Yes. We work with brands across Europe and in the UK. Your project manager follows you remotely, meetings are held by video call, and we ship samples and finished goods from our warehouse.
Do you make make-up or hair products?
No. We make skin care, body care, intimate hygiene and dermocosmetics, with a specialisation in gels and creams. We do not make make-up, hair products or nail products.
