Cosmetics manufacturers
Skincare, haircare, color cosmetics and bath and body. What to require from a cosmetics manufacturer, the questions to ask, and US makers whose own websites back every claim we list.
Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act, facilities that make cosmetics for the US market must register with the FDA. Ask for their registration and how they support your product listing.
ISO 22716 is the common cosmetics GMP standard. Ask whether the facility is certified or audited against it, and how they handle batch records and deviations.
A formula has to stay stable in your actual packaging. Ask what stability and package compatibility testing they run, for how long, and what it costs.
Water-based products need a challenge test to show the preservative system works. Ask whether it is included or extra, and who keeps the results.
MoCRA brings adverse event reporting and recordkeeping. Each batch should carry a lot code you can trace back to raw material lots.
Stock formulas belong to the manufacturer. If you pay for custom development, get ownership of the formula in writing.
US manufacturers whose own websites say they make these products for other brands.

Listings are in alphabetical order and no manufacturer pays to appear. Each claim is checked against the manufacturer’s own website on the date shown. Minimums appear only when the manufacturer states one. Confirm details, certificates and pricing with the manufacturer before you sign.
A manufacturer sells you a ready-made formula that you package and sell under your brand. It is the fastest way to launch, usually with lower minimums than custom work, but other brands may sell the same formula.
MoCRA requires facility registration and product listing with the FDA, adverse event reporting, safety substantiation and, once the FDA finalizes rules, cosmetics GMP. Ask any manufacturer how it supports each of these for your products.
Private label can take a few weeks to a few months, mostly packaging and labeling. Custom formulation with stability testing commonly takes several months or more.
Shades, sizes and bundles multiply SKUs fast, and each batch has a lot code and expiry. Inventory software keeps components, batches and finished goods in one place across your manufacturer, 3PL and retail.
If you are a US contract manufacturer or co-packer, request a free listing. No paid placement.
