01Services

One laboratory, every step between an idea and a product on the shelf.

Work with us on a single stage or hand over the whole project. Either way you deal with one team that formulates, manufactures, fills and documents under one roof.

  • S/01

    Custom formulation

    Your concept developed from a blank page by our R&D team — texture, actives, fragrance and claims built around your brief and refined through sample rounds until you sign off.

    • Brief-led development
    • Sample iterations
    • Exclusive formula options
  • S/02

    Private label

    Launch faster with proven base formulas ready to carry your brand. Choose the product, tune the fragrance, actives and packaging, and go to market.

    • Tested base formulas
    • Shorter time to market
    • Your brand, your packaging
  • S/03

    Contract manufacturing

    Already have a formula? We scale it up and produce it batch after batch with full traceability — from pilot batches to recurring production runs.

    • Scale-up & pilot batches
    • Recurring production
    • Batch records retained
  • S/04

    Filling & packaging

    Filling, sealing, lot coding and labelling in the formats your range needs. Bring your own packaging or source it with our help — we check compatibility either way.

    • Jars, bottles, tubes, airless
    • Lot coding & labelling
    • Packaging sourcing support
  • S/05

    Regulatory & documentation

    Support with the Product Information File, safety assessment (CPSR), CPNP notification and label review, so your product is ready for the EU market.

    • PIF & CPSR support
    • CPNP notification
    • Label & claims review
  • S/06

    Cosmeceutical development

    Active-led formulas for targeted concerns — hair and scalp, firming, skin imperfections, tired legs — built on documented ingredients, with claims that stay on the right side of cosmetic regulation.

    • Documented actives
    • Targeted-care expertise
    • Substantiated claims

02Two ways to work

Pick the route that fits your launch.

Route A

Private label

Start from a formula that already works. Ideal for new brands, line extensions and retailers who want speed and predictable costs.

  • Choose from proven base formulas
  • Personalise fragrance, actives and packaging
  • Fastest route to market
  • Lower development cost

Route B

Custom development

Start from your idea. Ideal for brands that need a signature texture, a specific active story or a formula nobody else has.

  • Formula built around your brief
  • Sample rounds until approval
  • Exclusivity agreed in writing
  • Full documentation for your PIF

06Quality & compliance

Built for the EU market from the first gram.

Third-party manufacturing only works if you can put your name on what we make. These are the foundations every CosmoLab project stands on.

  • ACENE seal — certified organic ingredients (BIO)
  • ACENE seal — certified natural ingredients (NAT)
  • ACENE seal — certified natural ingredients, vegan

Bio, natural and vegan

Formulas developed with ACENE-certified organic and natural ingredients, with vegan options.

  • EU 1223/2009

    Regulation-first formulation

    Every formula is developed against the EU Cosmetics Regulation and its ingredient annexes — before a sample leaves the lab.

  • GMP

    Good Manufacturing Practice

    Production follows cosmetic GMP principles in line with ISO 22716: controlled processes, trained staff, documented cleaning.

  • LOT

    Batch traceability

    Every batch is coded and documented from incoming raw material to finished unit, with retained samples and records.

    Your brief, formula and volumes stay yours. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before discussing the detail.

08FAQ

The questions every first call starts with.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the product, the format and whether the formula is private label or custom. Tell us your target volumes in the enquiry form and we will confirm feasibility in our first reply.

How long does it take to launch a product?

Private label is the fastest route, because the formula already exists. Custom development depends on the number of sample rounds and on testing — stability testing in particular takes time. You receive a written timeline together with your quotation.

Who owns the formula?

Private label base formulas remain CosmoLab property and may be offered to other clients. Formulas developed exclusively for you can be contracted as exclusive. Either way, it is agreed in writing before development starts.

Can you supply the packaging?

You can send us your own packaging or we can help you source it. In both cases we check that the packaging is compatible with the formula before production.

Do you handle the regulatory paperwork?

We support you with the documentation for the Product Information File, the safety assessment (CPSR), label review and CPNP notification. We will also explain what the Responsible Person role involves if this is your first product.

Can I test samples before committing to production?

Yes. Sample development and approval is a standard stage of every project — nothing goes to production until you have signed off the sample. Sample conditions are confirmed with your quotation.

Do you work with companies outside Spain?

Yes. We work with brands and companies across the EU and beyond, in English and Spanish, and ship finished goods to your warehouse or logistics partner.

Is my project confidential?

Always. We never disclose who we manufacture for, and we sign an NDA before you share formulas, volumes or launch plans.
