Third-Party Cosmetic Manufacturing in India
You bring the formula or the idea. We develop, make and fill it, and keep it confidential. Formuluxe is a GMP-compliant third-party (contract) cosmetic manufacturer in India.
Your formula, made by us
Third-party manufacturing, also called contract manufacturing or OEM manufacturing, means you own the formula or the idea, and we make the product for you. You focus on your brand, your customers and your sales. We handle the formulation work, sampling, packaging, filling and production.

| What to share | Why it matters |
|---|---|
Your product and customer | What you want to make and who it is for, so our R&D team develops the right formula. |
Texture, scent and colour | How the product should feel, smell and look. Examples or references help. |
Key ingredients and claims | Any ingredients you want to feature and what you would like to say about the product, so we can check what is possible. |
Your packaging idea | The pack you plan to use. A formula and its pack must work together, so we check them together. |
Quantity and launch date | Your first order starts at 2,000 units. Your date helps us plan development, sampling and production. |
Your own formula (optional) | Ingredient list with amounts, method of making, target specifications and any test data, so we can check it can be made at production size. |
