Development and Manufacturing

More than cosmetics contract manufacturing.

Many professional cosmetics projects do not begin with a
finished formulation. Often, the starting point is a product idea,
specific product characteristics, a target audience or a clear
positioning for the intended market.

BioCosmetics Germany therefore combines product development
and manufacturing. We assess technical feasibility,
develop formulations, create samples and support
products through to production readiness.

Our goal is not simply a formulation that works in the laboratory.
The product must also be technically reproducible,
commercially viable and reliably manufacturable at scale.

OEM cosmetics manufacturing in Germany

OEM · Contract Manufacturing

Your formulation. Our manufacturing.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturing.
This model is particularly suitable for companies
that already have their own formulation, product specification
or a largely completed product development.

We assess technical feasibility and can then provide
the agreed manufacturing services – from
raw material sourcing and scale-up to manufacturing and filling.

OEM is also suitable for companies seeking additional
production capacity, a second manufacturer or
a potential transfer of production.



ODM · Product Development

You define the objective. We develop the technical solution.

ODM stands for Original Design Manufacturing.
With this model, you do not need a finished formulation.
You define the product type, desired characteristics,
target audience, positioning and commercial framework.

Our development team handles the technical implementation:
raw material selection, active ingredient concept, texture, sensory properties,
sample development and preparation for subsequent series production.

You do not need to tell us how the formulation should be built.
Tell us what the product needs to achieve.
The technical implementation is part of our development work.

Our Product Categories

From skincare to technically demanding specialist products.

OEM and ODM projects can be implemented across a wide range of
cosmetic categories. The key factors are
product requirements, technical feasibility and the intended target market.

Skin Care

Face & Body

Serums, creams, gels, cleansers, eye care,
body care and functional specialist skincare.

Colour Cosmetics

Make-up

Powders, lip products, foundation, blush,
eyeshadow and innovative colour cosmetics.

Functional Cosmetics

Specialist Cosmetics

Sports cosmetics, problem-skin care,
mineral sun protection and specialised applications.

Natural Cosmetics

Natural Cosmetics

Natural and natural-cosmetics formulations
with selected botanical and functional raw materials.



For Established Companies

Not every project starts with a new brand.

Established companies often specifically seek an
additional development or manufacturing partner:
for new product categories, specialised formulations,
additional capacity or as a second source.

The technical assessment of existing product lines
or a potential transfer of production can also
be evaluated on a project-specific basis.

BioCosmetics Germany therefore works not only with start-ups,
but also with established brands, retail companies,
distributors and international business customers.

B2B cosmetics manufacturer for brands and international companies



Contract Manufacturing Cosmetics Germany

Development and manufacturing must work as one integrated project.

A formulation can perform exceptionally well in the laboratory
and still be unsuitable for larger-scale series production.
That is why we consider manufacturing processes,
packaging, future production volumes and commercial
feasibility from the development stage onward.

From laboratory sample to production batch.

Scale-up, raw material availability, process parameters,
fillability and reproducible quality are essential
to turn a product idea into a product that can be manufactured reliably over time.



Cosmetics manufacturing in Heidelberg – Made in Germany

Made in Germany

Development in Mannheim. Manufacturing in Heidelberg.

BioCosmetics Germany combines product development,
project coordination and cosmetics manufacturing in Germany.
The close proximity of Mannheim and Heidelberg
enables efficient communication and short coordination paths.

Depending on the scope, our projects can include development,
manufacturing, filling, packaging and
regulatory preparation.

Manufacturing in accordance with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice
and with consideration of the requirements of the
European Cosmetics Regulation.



Project Process

From project briefing to series production.

The exact process depends on whether
an existing formulation is to be manufactured,
an existing formulation is to be adapted,
or a completely new product is to be developed.

Step 1

Project Analysis

Product type, target market, positioning,
planned quantities and commercial framework.

Step 2

Development

OEM assessment, formulation adaptation
or complete ODM new product development.

Step 3

Samples & Approval

Sample development, optimisation,
packaging and regulatory preparation.

Step 4

Production

Manufacturing, filling,
batch documentation and packaging.



Quality & Regulatory

Professional product development does not end with the formulation.

For cosmetic products placed on the European market,
product safety, documentation, labelling and regulatory requirements
must be considered alongside development and manufacturing.

Project-Specific Regulatory Support

Depending on the project, support can include CPSR,
PIF, CPNP preparation, INCI,
labelling and required
product testing.
