Bespoke private label cosmetics manufacturer: your asset partner

What is a private label cosmetics manufacturer?

A private label cosmetics manufacturer is a company specialised in the custom-development and -manufacturing of custom-made cosmetic products. They formulate and supply cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical goods according to the client’s specific needs. 

Personal or private label cosmetics businesses are full service: advisers, doers and suppliers. They operate from product’s marketing to formulation designing and production within needed timescales. They generally conduct all stages of cosmetics products development and help you successfully develop skin care products.

Working with a private label cosmetics manufacturer requires combining several interconnected activities. Let’s take a closer look at its key features.

ALPOL Cosmétique’s 5 key features to being a cosmetics partner

1. Bespoke cosmetics manufucturer and formulation design

In order to design cosmetics products suited to specific needs, the cosmetics supplier needs to define a personal cosmetic formula and choose:

• its ingredients
• its texture
• its shape.

Cosmetic formula is a key step to successfully develop a line or range of skin care products.  

At ALPOL Cosmétique, each formula parameter has been thought of to suit the project: active ingredients for skin care benefits, sensoriality for a pleasurable use and texture for an easy application.

Research and development for sensorial, emotional and even playful textures are carried out at the ALPOL Cosmétique R&D laboratory, located in Château-Gaillard in the Ain region, near Lyon in France.

The cosmetics manufacturer teams manage over 1,000 skin care products range development projects per year.

2. Bespoke cosmetics manufucturer and customers 

Some private label cosmetics manufacturers offer different levels of services. They can be full custom services, or partly custom services. For ALPOL Cosmétique, it is a 360° full custom support at every phase of a cosmetic product’s development: from product consultation, to marketing and conception to production. 

Understanding ought to be flexible and adapted to beauty brands highly challenging needs. Nurturing and facilitating are key features to successfully respond to customers.
