Product Capabilities

For Skincare Brands

Private Label Facial Serum Manufacturing

Develop a facial serum around the format, ingredients, sensory profile, packaging, target market, and commercial requirements.

For skincare brands: bring an existing formula, a reference product, or a new brief. We’ll review skin feel, package, testing needs, and label claims together.

We’ll review the suitable route and what is needed to start sampling.

Choose Your Serum Development Route

Private Label or Custom Formulation?

Choose the route that matches how far your serum concept is already defined.

PRIVATE LABEL

Private Label Skincare

Start with an existing Rixin serum formula, then confirm which ingredients, packaging, artwork, and order details can be adjusted.

CUSTOM FORMULATION (OEM MANUFACTURING)

Custom Formulation (OEM Manufacturing)

Choose this route when you need a new or substantially changed formula, texture, ingredient system, or package. We’ll review feasibility before sampling.

MOQ, Lead Time, and What Happens Next

Check the Commercial Fit Before Detailed Development

These starting figures help you decide whether the project scope and timing are suitable before moving into formula and package detail.

MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITYMinimum order quantity (MOQ): from 2,000 units per product.

Final requirements can depend on formula, package, printing minimums, product size, and variants.

TYPICAL PRODUCTION PERIODAbout 40 days after final formula, packaging, artwork, and order details are confirmed.

This is the production stage, not a guaranteed delivery date.

Formula development, sample revisions, and other pre-confirmation work are outside that production stage. Packaging, materials, testing, target market, and project scope can affect the complete timeline.

Product Formats and Skin Feel

Choose a Serum Format That Fits the Formula and Positioning

“Serum” can describe different structures and experiences. Defining the format gives sampling and packaging review a clearer target.

Water-based, gel, milky, oil, bi-phase, and eye-serum packages with matching textures arranged by format
01

Water-Based Serums

Lightweight or lightly viscous systems that may be clear, translucent, or opaque. Review absorption, tackiness, clarity, and dispenser suitability.

02

Gel Serums

Structured formulas with more body and slip. Balance spreadability, dry-down, pilling risk, layering, and dispenser performance.

03

Milky and Emulsion Serums

Light emulsion formats with a more cushioning feel. Stability, opacity, viscosity, filling, and pump performance should be evaluated together.

04

Oil Serums

Anhydrous or oil-led systems requiring review of oxidation, odor change, drop size, leakage control, closure performance, and transport conditions.

05

Bi-Phase Serums

Visibly separated systems designed to be mixed before use. Phase behavior, recovery, appearance, filling space, instructions, and package compatibility require review.

06

Eye Serums

Targeted cosmetic formats with controlled application. Texture, dose, applicator choice, intended use, and market wording need specific assessment.

Formula Brief

Describe the Skin Feel You Want

A useful brief describes the intended experience beyond the word “serum.”

  • Water-based, gel, milky, oil, or bi-phase structure
  • Clear, translucent, or opaque appearance
  • Light, medium, or richer viscosity
  • Fast absorption or a more noticeable cushioning feel
  • Low-tack, dewy, silky, or soft dry-down
  • Layering expectations with toner, moisturizer, sunscreen, or makeup
  • Fragrance and color direction
  • Dropper, pump, airless, or targeted applicator

These choices affect formula structure, sample evaluation, dispensing, and the selected package. A reference can clarify the target without defining an identical result.

Ingredient Review

Choose Ingredients That Can Work Together in Your Serum

Serum projects may explore hydration, barrier-support, radiance-focused, age-supporting, or emerging ingredient directions.

Examples may include hyaluronic-acid systems, beta-glucan, panthenol, ceramides, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, suitable vitamin C derivatives, peptides, retinal, bakuchiol, or PDRN-related cosmetic concepts.

Ingredient choices need a feasibility check. We review the exact raw material and its INCI name (the standard ingredient name used on cosmetic labels), solubility, pH, formula compatibility, stability, package fit, testing evidence, target market, and supportable claims.

Supplier information does not establish finished-product performance or support every proposed claim.

Packaging Fit

Match the Serum With a Suitable Delivery System

Options may include glass or plastic dropper bottles, treatment pumps, airless bottles, controlled-dose pumps, eye-serum packages, labels, and folding cartons.

Texture and viscosity affect dispensing. Formula-package compatibility means checking whether the formula dispenses properly and remains suitable in the selected package. A dropper is not suitable for every serum, and airless packaging does not replace compatibility review.

Testing, Documentation, Sampling, and Approval

Prepare the Serum Project for Production Review

Before production, we review whether the formula remains stable, works with the selected package, has the testing and documents the project may require, and supports the intended market claims.

Requirements depend on the confirmed formula, package, target market, and project scope. For an initial discussion, provide:

  • 01Target market and product positioning
  • 02Preferred serum format
  • 03Existing formula, reference product, or custom brief
  • 04Ingredient, texture, absorption, finish, fragrance, and appearance direction
  • 05Packaging type, capacity, applicator, and decoration requirements
  • 06Expected quantity per product or SKU
  • 07Testing, documentation, artwork, and launch requirements

Buyer Questions

Facial Serum Manufacturing FAQ

Can a serum project begin with a reference product?

Yes. A reference can communicate viscosity, absorption, tackiness, dry-down, appearance, packaging, or positioning. It does not define an identical formula, ingredient system, or finished result.

Can several trending ingredients be combined in one serum?

Possibly, but the combination requires formula-specific review. Raw-material identity, solubility, pH, compatibility, processing, stability, packaging, evidence, target market, and proposed wording can affect feasibility.

Is a dropper or airless pump better for a facial serum?

There is no universal choice. The suitable package depends on viscosity, formula sensitivity, dose, filling, sealing, transport, and positioning.

What information is needed before serum sampling?

Provide the target market, serum format, formula status, ingredient and sensory direction, references, packaging preference, quantity, testing needs, documentation requirements, and launch timing.

What happens after I request a serum proposal?

Rixin reviews the brief, suitable route, key feasibility questions, and the information needed to begin sampling. This discussion does not confirm that every formula, package, claim, or timing request is feasible.
