What is Contract Manufacturing?
Contract Manufacturing is the term used when our clients choose from our catalog of basic formula's that we can manufacture as is or can be modified to create a custom item. We can also manufacture products from a formula supplied by our clients or we can adapt or reproduce an established formula. We can manufacture both conventional and organic Health & Beauty & Cosmetic Products. Many well-known brands in the cosmetic, toiletry and personal care business use outside sources to manufacture their products. The majority of the clients that we contract manufacture for provide their own packaging, either already decorated or ship us packaging that we then fill and label. We also contract manufacture candles.
Can your Research & Development Lab make a product/candle that I propose?
Yes, in most cases we can. However, the amount of research and development required for each project is different.
Can you manufacture Organic Cosmetic products?
We are a fully certified Manufacturer of organic health & beauty products. We are recognized by the USDA. This means that certain products we manufacture can display the USDA organic seal. We can help guide you through the confusing array of rules and regulations pertaining to the Organics industry.
How much will it cost for your Research and Development Lab to manufacture samples for me?
It depends. We have several "stock" formula's that may meet your requirements at no charge. If we need to perform work in the lab the cost will depend on the complexity of the project and the price will be determined on a product-by-product basis.
What formulas/products are available?
We offer a variety of skin/bath/body/hair/personal care product formulas, both conventional and organic. Please refer to our General Product Capability page for an in-depth list of available products. If you have a concept for a new product let us know and we will advise if we are able to create it for you.
How quickly can you turn around an order?
Initial orders: approximately eight to ten weeks from the time the formula and/or artwork is approved and from the time packaging is received. Re-orders: six to eight weeks.
I live overseas - can you still manufacture products for me?
Yes we welcome overseas orders! We currently manufacture and export products to 22 countries. We have experience exporting to the Far East, Europe, Japan, South America, Mexico, Canada, Great Britain, Russia and more. We can help you with the required paperwork.
Can I provide my own decorated packaging or labels?
Yes. However we require a sample of the packaging and labels prior to filling, to check for compatibility with product, compliance with Government labeling requirements and to ascertain compatibility with our production equipment. Please contact us for label specifications prior to having labels manufactured.
Can you help with FDA/Personal Care Products Council (formerly the CTFA) labeling for products intended for retail sale?
All cosmetic/toiletries/personal care products that are intended for retail sale in the US are required by the Food and Drug Administration and the Personal Care Products Council (formerly the CTFA) to have certain information displayed on the packaging. We are fully knowledgeable of these regulations. Please submit a sample of your artwork before having packaging printed or labels manufactured to check for compliance with these regulations.
