Starting a skincare brand can be exciting. You have an idea, maybe even a name, and a vision for your product. But what happens next? How do you turn that idea into something real?
This is where many beauty brands get stuck. The process can feel confusing and unclear. Some manufacturers offer little to no explanation. Others may not involve you at all in the creation process. As a result, many brand owners are left in the dark about how their products are made.
At BonnieCo, we believe you deserve better.
As a professional cosmetics manufacturer and trusted skincare OEM factory based in China, we give our clients a full, transparent experience. Our team supports brands at every step, from the first idea to the final product on the shelf. Whether you’re looking for custom skincare manufacturing, private label skincare formulation, or complete turnkey cosmetic manufacturing, we’re here to help.
In this post, we’ll walk you through BonnieCo’s full cosmetics OEM ODM process. You’ll learn what really happens during product development and how we make sure every product meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and success.
So, how do we begin?
Phase One: Co-Creation and R&D
Great skincare starts with great research.
This first phase is all about understanding your brand and your vision. What kind of skincare product do you want to create? Who is your target customer? What do you want the product to do?
At BonnieCo, we begin by learning about your market and brand positioning. This helps us understand where your product fits in the beauty industry and what kind of formula will work best.
We call this step co-creation because we do it with you, not for you. You’re part of the process, and your feedback matters at every stage.
Our team of researchers and chemists uses advanced technology to create custom skincare formulations. We combine market insight with scientific research to design a product that feels good on the skin and performs well. Whether you need a light, fast-absorbing gel or a rich, hydrating cream, we help you get the texture just right.
We also help you choose the right active ingredients. For example, if you’re creating an anti-aging serum, we might use peptides or plant extracts. If you’re focused on acne control, we’ll look at ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil.
Every formula is tailored to your brand. This is why many of our clients think of us as more than just a private label cosmetics manufacturer. We’re their development partner.
But once a formula is designed, what comes next? How do we know it’s ready for production?
Phase Two: Prototyping and Testing
This is the part where things start to feel real. Once we’ve created your custom formula, we produce small batches for testing. This is called prototyping.
During this stage, we check how the formula looks, feels, and performs. We test it in different conditions to see how stable it is over time. Does the texture change with heat? Will it separate in cold temperatures?
Does it stay effective in the packaging?
We also evaluate the skin feel. Is it too sticky? Does it absorb too quickly or too slowly? These details may seem small, but they make a big difference in how customers experience your product.
Of course, safety is always a top priority. We take testing seriously. Our formulas go through internal tests, but we also use third-party labs to ensure full safety and compliance. These labs provide efficacy and safety testing reports, which help prove that your product is safe, effective, and ready for market.
If you plan to sell your products in the United States, Europe, or Southeast Asia, these reports help you meet all local regulations. That means your product will be ready for global distribution with confidence.
At this point, we’re getting close to launch. But there’s still one more important step.
Phase Three: Mass Production and Quality Control
Once your formula is finalized and tested, it’s time for mass production. This is where BonnieCo really shines.
We manufacture products in our modern cleanroom production facilities. Our factory follows GMP standards, and we use ISO-certified systems to make sure everything is clean, safe, and controlled.
During production, we follow strict rules for every part of the process. Our team checks raw materials before they are used to make sure they meet our quality standards. While the products are being filled and packaged, we perform online inspections to check for issues in real-time. Once the batch is complete, we run a final inspection to check the look, weight, volume, and seal of every product.
Our goal is to make sure every unit is consistent and reliable. That’s why so many clients trust us as their cosmetic contract manufacturing partner.
We also offer one-stop services, which means we can help you with packaging, label printing, and even arranging shipping. You don’t have to manage multiple suppliers. BonnieCo can handle it all for you.
At this point, your product is real, packed, and ready to go. So, why should you choose BonnieCo over another skincare OEM factory?
