Custom Formulation & OEM Manufacturing

Custom Skincare Formulation & OEM for Brands

Custom product development from brief to production

For skincare brands that need more than an existing private label formula, Rixin can develop or adapt a product and review it for production. We coordinate formula work, samples, packaging, testing, documentation, and production planning.

OEM manufacturing means producing your brand’s skincare product to an agreed specification.

Tell us your product idea, target market, expected quantity, and timeline. You can start before every detail is finalized.

Is Custom Formulation Right for Your Brand?

Choose custom formulation when your brand needs a new formula, major changes to an existing product, or a review of a formula you already own. Private Label usually begins with an available formula and more limited adjustments.

Before Rixin confirms the project, we review materials, product complexity, packaging, quantity, target market, testing, documents, and the technical information available. A reference product cannot be copied exactly, and a buyer-supplied formula still needs review.

04

Existing Formula Review

Rixin can review a formula you own for materials, process, equipment, filling, packaging, testing, and document requirements.

MOQ and timing

MOQ and Production Timing

MOQ starts from 2,000 units per product. The final MOQ can be affected by formula batch size, material and packaging minimums, decoration, testing, and product complexity.

The typical production period is about 40 days after the required formula, packaging, artwork, and other production details are approved. Formula development, samples, testing, packaging sourcing, and design approval are planned separately.
