Our mission as a leading cosmetics manufacturer

As your experienced cosmetics contract manufacturer, we offer comprehensive services from raw material sourcing to quality control. Whether you need support with packaging selection, formulation development or production, we provide tailor-made solutions. As your manufacturer for private label cosmetics, we see ourselves not merely as a service provider, but as a partner for your success.

Our exceptional commitment to research and development projects is essential to our ambition to be the most innovative manufacturer of cosmetics. We will therefore continue our efforts with the same dedication in the future.

Personal expert consulting and production that meets the highest quality standards must guide our customers toward the ideal product.

They should benefit from the partnership through the most innovative and highest-quality products.

As a young company that emerged from the production department of a historically grown business, we combine agile innovation with experienced quality management.

Preserving our strengths in quality and performance while remaining a pioneer in process and product innovation must always be our goal.

That is why we also want to make the best possible use of the opportunities offered by digitalization and take a leading role in our industry.

Our strengths as a cosmetics manufacturer

In our state-of-the-art production complex in Rudolstadt, built in 2014, we combine craftsmanship with advanced technologies. Our latest-generation production and process machinery, working in perfect symbiosis with our in-house microbiological laboratory, sets the standard for outstanding cosmetic products. We safeguard product quality not only by complying with the European Cosmetics Regulation and GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice), but by going far beyond them to ensure that your private label cosmetics meet the most demanding expectations.

Our facilities are state of the art and ensure complete documentation and traceability for every production batch, giving you the highest level of transparency and safety. This is additionally confirmed by our annual external audits according to Cosmetic GMP (DIN EN ISO 22716), which demonstrate our unwavering commitment to excellence.

Research and continuous development are at the heart of our commitment to quality and innovation. Our company is deeply connected to the scientific community, participates in pioneering research projects funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, and maintains close cooperation with many universities and research institutes. These partnerships enable us to stay at the forefront of research and turn breakthrough developments into reality. They ensure that, as a modern cosmetics contract manufacturer, we always keep our finger on the pulse and bring tomorrow’s trends into your products today.

Our philosophy is that without continuous innovation and research, a manufacturer cannot succeed in today’s fast-moving cosmetics industry. We therefore invest consistently in our capabilities and facilities to keep improving the quality and effectiveness of our processes and to meet the challenges of the future.
