Request Contract Manufacturing QuoteWhat Is Skincare Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing is a model where a brand supplies its own proprietary formula and the factory handles everything else — raw material sourcing, production, quality control, regulatory documentation and global shipping. At Skincraftlab this runs on 8 in-house production lines in a 5,000 m² GMP-certified facility, with 10,000+ units per day capacity and full batch traceability from raw material to finished product.
Every order starts with a feasibility review — formula, packaging compatibility and destination-market regulations — followed by a quote within 48 hours. Standard contract manufacturing MOQ starts at 1,000 units, and FOB, CIF and DDP shipping terms are available to 30+ countries.

How Contract Manufacturing Works
Production with Your Formula
Supply your proprietary formula and we handle everything else — raw material sourcing, production, quality control, and global shipping. Ideal for established brands with their own formulations who need scalable, GMPC-certified manufacturing. A feasibility review runs first: our team checks your formula against production capability, packaging compatibility, and destination-market regulations, then quotes within 48 hours. This review catches most problems before they cost you a production run.
Quality Assurance
Inline QC at every production stage. Full batch documentation, microbial testing, pH/viscosity records, and stability test reports are retained for every order. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product, so a question about any single unit can be answered from the records. This traceability is exactly what distributors and retailers ask for during their own audits.
Scalability
Production capacity of 10,000+ units per day across 8 production lines. From initial runs of 1,000 units to industrial-scale production of 100,000+ units, the factory grows with your brand. The 8 lines — hydrogel casting, liquid filling, sealing, and patch assembly — sit under one roof in the 5,000 m² GMP facility, which keeps scale-up fast because nothing depends on an outside subcontractor.
Raw Material Sourcing
We source all raw materials from qualified, audited suppliers with full documentation. Active ingredients, preservatives, and packaging materials are all traceable to source, with COA and MSDS provided with every shipment. For contract manufacturing clients, the sourcing team can also work from your approved supplier list or ingredient specification, integrating your quality requirements into the existing purchasing system.
Regulatory Compliance
Products are manufactured to EU (CPNP/SCPNP), US (FDA), and AU regulatory standards. Full compliance documentation is provided with every shipment, and stability and safety testing are included. With 19+ years of exporting to 30+ countries, the compliance team knows which documents each destination expects — and prepares them before the container leaves the factory. For brands selling into the US, our FDA cosmetic registration and MoCRA compliance guide covers exactly which registrations your product needs before it ships.
Shipping & Logistics
FOB, CIF, and DDP shipping terms available. 7–21 day transit to 30+ countries. Full customs documentation and clearance support included. Shipping is coordinated in-house rather than handed to a broker mid-project, so the paperwork and the cargo move together and arrival dates are tracked to your warehouse.

Contract Manufacturing FAQ
Q: What is the difference between OEM and contract manufacturing?
A: In contract manufacturing, you supply your own formula and we handle production, QC, and shipping. In OEM, we can also source raw materials and manage the supply chain. Both include full QC documentation and regulatory compliance. MOQ from 1,000 units.
Q: What certifications does Skincraftlab hold for contract manufacturing?
A: Skincraftlab is certified under GMPC, ISO 22716 (Cosmetics GMP), FDA SGS registered, BSCI audited, and TÜV Rheinland tested. All certifications are independently audited and available for client review.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for contract manufacturing?
A: MOQ starts at 1,000 units for standard production runs. Custom formulations may require 3,000–5,000 units to cover R&D and stability testing costs. Flexible MOQ negotiable for trial orders.
Q: How long does contract manufacturing take from formula approval to delivery?
A: Standard production lead time is 30–45 days after formula approval and deposit. Custom formulations require 45–60 days including stability testing. Shipping adds 7–21 days depending on destination.
Q: Can I use my own raw material suppliers?
A: Yes. For contract manufacturing clients, the sourcing team can work from your approved supplier list or ingredient specification. All materials still go through incoming inspection and documentation so batch traceability is preserved.
Q: What does a contract manufacturing lab do for a skincare brand?
A: A contract manufacturing lab turns a brand’s formula into finished, sellable products. It handles raw material sourcing, compounding, filling, inline quality control, stability testing, batch documentation, and regulatory compliance — so the brand can scale production without owning a factory. Skincraftlab’s contract manufacturing lab runs 8 in-house production lines with 10,000+ units per day capacity.
Q: Can you manufacture natural / organic skin care products?
A: Yes. Our contract manufacturing lab produces natural skin care formulas and works with your approved ingredient lists. We manufacture to EU (CPNP/SCPNP), US (FDA), and AU regulatory standards, and can support natural, organic, vegan, and clean-label claims where the formula and documentation allow it.
Q: What skin care products can be made under contract manufacturing?
A: Our lab manufactures creams, serums, lotions, sheet masks, hydrogel masks, acne patches, microneedle patches, cleansers, and more. If your formula is a liquid, gel, cream, or patch product, our production lines can handle it — from 1,000-unit trial runs to 100,000+ unit industrial batches.
