We combine product development and cosmetics manufacturing for your brand. Together we define the product type, target audience, texture, active ingredient concept, packaging and planned quantity. We then support the agreed stages from sample development through to the finished production batch.

Our portfolio covers facial care, body and hair care, natural cosmetics, specialist skincare and colour cosmetics. This includes creams, serums, fluids, cleansers, toners, body lotions, shampoos, lipsticks, lip gloss, foundation, loose and pressed powders and blush. Each project is matched to the required formulation and packaging.

White label enables a launch based on existing formulation concepts. You select products suited to your target group, while branding, packaging and agreed services are determined for your project. This allows product development to build on an existing concept.

Private label connects your brand positioning with the right product concept. Depending on the project, we adapt existing formulations or develop custom recipes. Active ingredients, texture, fragrance and packaging are tailored to the desired product range.

For OEM projects, we assess your existing formulation or product specification for the agreed contract manufacturing work. For ODM projects, we develop the formula based on your brief. For established businesses, we can also review additional manufacturing capacity, second-source projects and formula transfers.

Development starts with your product requirements, target group and desired properties. This is followed by ingredient selection, laboratory samples and agreed refinements. After sample approval and the required testing, the formula is prepared for manufacturing.

For standard projects, the usual minimum order is 1,000 units per product. For liquid products, a minimum batch size of generally 50 kg must also be considered. Product type, fill volume and packaging determine the appropriate manufacturing quantity. Alternative entry quantities are assessed individually during the enquiry process.

BioCosmetics Germany offers flexible cosmetics manufacturing for smaller product batches and larger contract orders. Depending on the product type, formulation and manufacturing process, our production capacity is up to 1,000 kg per day. Volumes above 1,000 kg can also be discussed on request.

Following the project assessment, you receive a timeline covering sampling, packaging procurement, agreed tests and manufacturing. Production often requires four to six weeks once all approvals are complete and materials are available; custom development and packaging require additional lead time.

Depending on the agreed scope, we assist with the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), Product Information File (PIF), required testing and CPNP notification for the EU market. Responsibilities and services are defined for each product and target market.

Our manufacturing processes follow a GMP-oriented approach based on ISO 22716 and the EU Cosmetics Regulation. Raw materials, production steps and batches are documented. Agreed quality checks and traceability support the process.

One area of expertise is stable titanium dioxide-free lipsticks in multiple shades, alongside selected natural cosmetics and other make-up formulations. Depending on the product, we can implement classic or distinctive formulation concepts. Certifications and product claims are assessed for the specific formula and brand presentation.

Our experience with TCM-inspired natural cosmetics informs the selection of suitable botanical ingredients and the development of modern skincare formulas. Depending on the project, custom plant combinations and proprietary extract concepts can be aligned with the product and brand positioning.

Product development and project coordination take place in Mannheim, while manufacturing is based in Heidelberg. This allows formulation development, technical implementation and documented production in Germany to be closely coordinated.

For suitable cosmetics projects, we can review individual project financing arrangements and coordinated implementation options. The assessment takes into account your product concept, commercial framework, planned quantity and project evaluation. Scope, requirements and terms are agreed individually in writing.

Complete our project enquiry form with your contact details, product requirements, target market, quantity, packaging size and budget. We use this information to assess your project and agree the next steps for development, sampling and manufacturing.

Our cosmetic manufacturing processes take into account the requirements of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

Ingredient selection and regulatory assessment can also be supported by the European Commission’s CosIng cosmetic ingredients database.
