Contract Manufacturing Cosmetics Built Around Your Brand
Contract manufacturing cosmetics gives brand owners, retailers and distributors a controlled way to develop and produce beauty products without building a plant. Guangzhou Yunmei Cosmetics Co., Ltd. is a cosmetic OEM/ODM contract manufacturer in Guangzhou, China, with nearly two decades of experience. The company covers nine product categories and supports projects from formula development and fine-tuning through packaging sourcing, quality inspection and logistics. It works with overseas buyers in Europe, America and the Middle East.
One-Stop OEM/ODM Scope
The service is designed for buyers that need one partner to connect formula, pack, production and shipment. A project can include:
- formula development and fine-tuning for fragrance, texture, skin feel and efficacy
- packaging sourcing and component coordination
- pilot batch and mass production planning
- in-line and finished product quality inspection
- export logistics coordination
This scope keeps technical decisions and commercial requirements visible in the same production plan. It suits private-label ranges, distributor assortments and retailer-owned lines that need a repeatable production path.
Full-Range Category Coverage
The company's scope spans Skin Care Set, Body Care, Eye Care, Face Care, Hair Care, Lip Care, Makeup, Men Care and Baby Care. This breadth allows a project to move across related subcategories without changing manufacturing partner. Lip programs are especially flexible: textures include creamy, velvet, matte and pearlescent finishes, with liquid lipstick, solid matte and matte stick variants. Teams can start from an existing market-tested formula and fine-tune it to create a texture, fragrance and skin feel that matches their brief.
How Contract Manufacturing Cosmetics Works
A clear workflow keeps decisions visible and reduces rework. Each step below has a review point before the next stage begins.
1. Project brief. The project starts with category, target user, price position, reference samples, packaging direction, expected volume and launch timing. Confidentiality can be discussed before formula details, reference samples and technical documents are reviewed.
2. Formulation development and sampling. The 1,500 sqm R&D center develops or adjusts formulas for fragrance, texture, skin feel and efficacy. Samples are produced for review, and the client can request iterations before locking a specification. Sampling always comes first, so the formula and pack are approved before a production order.
3. Packaging sourcing. The team coordinates primary and secondary packaging sourcing, checks component fit with the formula, and aligns filling and decoration needs with the production plan. This step connects the formula to the pack that will carry it and helps avoid mismatches at the filling stage.
4. Pilot batch. A pilot batch tests the approved formula on the selected line setup. It confirms production behavior, filling parameters and inspection points before mass production begins. Issues can be reviewed at this stage while changes are still practical.
5. Mass production with in-line QC. Production runs on 35 lines in a Class 100,000 cleanroom. In-line checks monitor the process while the batch is running. As reported by the company, daily capacity reaches 1 million sheet or eye masks, 260,000 units of creams, lotions, serums and cleansers, 50,000 makeup units and 260,000 bottled units.
6. Final inspection and logistics. Finished product inspection is completed before release. Documentation and shipment planning are then handled with the logistics route agreed for the project. Certificates available upon request support buyer review.

Quality control is aligned with US GMPC and EU ISO22716, as stated by the company, and finished product inspection is part of the release process.
