Engineered for global beauty brands requiring ultra-pigmented, cruelty-free, and skin-loving cosmetics. Custom shades, private label branding, and scalable export-ready packaging.
As a pioneer in color cosmetic engineering for over 22 years, our state-of-the-art facility located in Inzago, Milan operates at the intersection of haute couture aesthetics and precise biochemical science. We provide end-to-end contract manufacturing (OEM/ODM) tailored for modern indie cosmetics brands, established retail giants, and international beauty conglomerates.
Our clean-room production environments adhere strictly to ISO 22716 (Cosmetic GMP) and EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. From custom shade matching in our R&D laboratories to high-speed automated filling and secondary packaging, we guarantee that every batch of vegan blush, mascara, foundation, and eyeshadow palette satisfies the stringent purity, stability, and ethical demands of global buyers.
"True innovation in vegan cosmetic manufacturing requires eliminating synthetic toxins and animal derivatives without sacrificing color payoff, blendability, or skin compatibility."
In-house cosmetic chemists formulating bespoke textures using natural lipid matrices, plant-based carmine substitutes, and micronized mineral pigments tailored to your shade vision.
Full registration support including Product Information Dossiers (PIF), Safety Assessments (CPSR), Certificate of Analysis (COA), heavy metal testing, and FDA MoCRA documentation.
Turnkey sourcing for PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics, ocean-bound plastic compacts, refillable aluminum pans, and FSC-certified biodegradable paper packaging.
Transitioning color cosmetics from traditional formulas to 100% vegan compliance presents intricate formulation challenges. For decades, cosmetic contract manufacturers relied heavily on animal-derived structuring agents (beeswax, lanolin) and colorants (carmine/CI 75470 derived from crushed cochineal insects). Achieving identical rheological properties, skin adhesion, and vibrant color intensity requires cutting-edge green chemistry.
Carmine has historically provided unmatched color stability and opacity in blushes and lipsticks. However, as global consumers demand certified vegan formulations, our R&D team utilizes advanced bio-fermented iron oxides combined with high-purity synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) coated with anthocyanins and maltodextrin complexes. This yields a vibrant crimson hue with zero animal exploitation, while offering superior thermal stability during hot-pour manufacturing.
Traditional powder compact binding systems frequently utilized animal-derived stearates. Our OEM contract production employs cold-pressed jojoba esters, caprylic/capric triglycerides, and hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiables. These botanical binders yield a buttery, non-chalky texture with low fallout during brush application and high impact resistance during transit drop-tests.
| Ingredient Function | Traditional Cosmetic Formulation | MPlus Next-Gen Vegan Alternative | Technical & Performance Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red/Pink Pigment | Carmine (CI 75470) (Animal-Derived) | Synthetic Fluorphlogopite + Fermented Iron Oxides | 100% Vegan, Non-allergenic, photostable |
| Structuring Wax | Beeswax (Cera Alba) (Animal-Derived) | Candelilla Wax & Sunflower Seed Wax | Higher melting point, optimal oil-binding |
| Emollient & Glide | Lanolin (Sheep Wool Grease) | Vegetable Squalane & Shea Butter Hydrolysates | Non-comedogenic, superior skin absorption |
| Powder Surface Treatment | Animal Stearic Acid (Tallow Base) | Triethoxycaprylylsilane & Lauroyl Lysine (Amino acid) | Hydrophobic, 12H long-wear finish |
| Preservative System | Parabens & Phenoxyethanol | Glyceryl Caprylate + Levulinic Acid | Clean Beauty compliant, hurdle technology |
Key market drivers shaping international wholesale procurement, formulation specifications, and consumer purchasing behavior over the next decade.
Global buyers no longer seek standalone pigment products. Future procurement is overwhelmingly directed toward active-infused color cosmetics. Our OEM blushes and foundation powders incorporate bioactive botanicals—such as Hyaluronic Acid spheres, Niacinamide, Rosehip Oil, and Bakuchiol. Brand owners can market verified dermatological benefits alongside vibrant color payoff.
Sustainability mandates across Europe and North America are driving the phase-out of single-use plastic compacts. Wholesale importers are switching to modular, magnetic refill pans made from infinitely recyclable aluminum. Furthermore, anhydrous (water-free) stick blushes and solid serums lower shipping weight, cut logistics carbon footprints by up to 40%, and eliminate the need for harsh synthetic preservatives.
Regulatory bodies worldwide—including US MoCRA enforcement and EU Cosmetics Directive updates—are scrutinizing microplastics, PFAS, and heavy metal impurities in mineral pigments. Global exporters must supply full analytical documentation. Our manufacturing lines implement ICP-MS testing to guarantee lead, arsenic, and nickel concentrations remain well below 1 PPM.
Social-first beauty brands require flexible MOQ contracts and rapid turnaround times to capitalize on viral trends. By employing modular automated filling equipment and pre-tested base formulations, our contract facility enables brand owners to transition from approved lab sample to commercial export packaging in as few as 6 to 8 weeks.
Our capabilities extend far beyond powder pressing. We offer comprehensive turn-key manufacturing for the complete facial cosmetics spectrum, including liquid foundations, mineral concealers, luxury lipsticks, and engineered mascara brushes.
By pairing custom-tailored cosmetic formulas with ergonomically engineered applicators and brushes, we ensure optimum delivery systems. For instance, our proprietary fiber and molded elastomeric mascara brushes are designed to coat every single lash with our fiber-free, buildable vegan mascara formula.
Essential information for brand procurement managers, supply chain directors, and private label importers.
Our standard MOQ for stock formula private labeling starts at 3,000 units per shade. For fully custom R&D formulations, bespoke packaging tooling, or specialized shade development, our standard MOQ is typically 5,000 to 10,000 units depending on packaging complexity and component sourcing requirements.
We enforce strict raw material audit trails. Every ingredient supplier must submit a non-animal testing declaration and a complete origin certificate confirming zero animal-derived components (such as carmine, beeswax, lanolin, or collagen). We assist our brand partners in securing official certifications from PETA, Leaping Bunny, or the Vegan Society.
Yes. Our color matching laboratory utilizes spectrophotometry and master colorists to replicate any target shade, Pantone reference, or benchmark market sample. Color matching samples are delivered within 7 to 10 business days for client sign-off under D65 standard light boxes.
We provide a complete regulatory export dossier for every product line. This includes Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS compliant with GHS), Material Safety Data, Microbiological Challenge Testing (Preservative Efficacy Test / PET), Heavy Metal & Impurity Reports, and EU CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report) / PIF documentation.
All formulations undergo rigorous 12-week accelerated stability testing at 40°C/75% RH, thermal freeze-thaw cycling (-10°C to +45°C), compatibility testing with primary container packaging, centrifuging for emulsion stability, and independent dermatological patch testing for non-irritation claims.
Absolutely. We offer an extensive catalog of sustainable packaging options including Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resins, bio-PET, refillable mono-material aluminum pans, biodegradable cardboard palettes, and FSC-certified secondary boxes with soy-based ink printing.
For existing turn-key formulations with stock packaging, lead times are approximately 4 to 6 weeks following sample approval. Custom R&D formulations requiring stability testing and bespoke tooling typically require 10 to 14 weeks from initial briefing to final warehouse dispatch.
We prioritize strict corporate confidentiality. Prior to exchanging any product specifications, we execute a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Custom formulations developed specifically for your brand remain your exclusive intellectual property upon contract fulfillment.
