Hair Care Contract Manufacturing

A cosmetics manufacturer develops, tests, and produces shampoo, conditioner, and scalp or hair treatments, and you sell them under your own brand. AIMSKINCARE handles the formula, the stability and safety tests, the packaging, BPOM notification, and halal certification. You decide who the product is for, how it is priced, and where it is sold.

For washing we make shampoo and conditioner, including anti-dandruff, anti hair loss, and sensitive scalp versions. For leave-on care we make hair tonic, hair serum, hair vitamin, and scalp products positioned for fuller-looking hair. Beard oil is made for men’s grooming brands. Each can be developed as a single product or as a matching set.

A hair product works on two different surfaces. The scalp is living skin that makes oil and reacts to harsh surfactants, while the hair shaft is dead fiber that only needs to be cleaned, smoothed, and protected. A shampoo is built around its surfactant blend and a mildly acidic pH, a conditioner around cationic agents that cling to damaged areas.

Yes. Sulfate-free shampoos are built on milder surfactants such as isethionates, glucosides, or amino acid types, and need more work on foam and thickness. Silicone-free conditioners replace dimethicone with plant oils, esters, or cationic polymers. A "free from" statement must hold for every raw material, so we confirm it from supplier documents before it is printed.

The usual actives are piroctone olamine, climbazole, zinc pyrithione, and salicylic acid, each checked against the permitted list before sampling. The claim stays cosmetic, for example "helps reduce the appearance of dandruff flakes". It is supported by a use study in which flaking on the scalp is scored before and after several weeks of washing.

It can say that it helps reduce hair fall caused by breakage, or that it helps care for hair that sheds easily. It cannot say that it treats hair loss. Breakage claims are supported by a combing test that counts broken hairs, and hair fall claims by a use study. Caffeine, panthenol, and biotin are common ingredients.

No. A cosmetic cannot promise new hair, because that is a therapeutic claim. Products in this group are worded as helping hair look thicker and fuller, or as caring for the scalp and the roots. Under BPOM Regulation No. 3 of 2022 each claim needs supporting data, so we agree the wording with you before the formula is finalized.

Permitted ingredients, preservatives, and colorants follow BPOM Regulation No. 23 of 2019 as amended by No. 17 of 2022. Limits can differ between rinse-off and leave-on products. Salicylic acid, for example, is allowed up to 3 percent in a shampoo that is rinsed off and up to 2 percent in a tonic that stays on the scalp.

A hair tonic is a watery liquid applied to the scalp, usually carrying ingredients such as caffeine or panthenol. A hair serum goes on the lengths and ends to smooth frizz and add shine, and is often silicone or oil based. A hair vitamin is a light leave-on oil or lotion for the ends, sold in capsules or a small pump bottle.

Yes. Beard oil is a blend of light carrier oils such as jojoba, argan, and grapeseed, sometimes with vitamin E and a scent. It softens facial hair and the skin under it. The blend decides how fast it absorbs and whether it leaves a shine. Claims stay with softening and grooming, never with growing a beard.

Less than usual. A sensitive scalp formula uses mild surfactants, little or no fragrance, no colorants, and a pH near that of the scalp, with soothing ingredients such as panthenol, allantoin, or bisabolol. The practice AIMSKINCARE has with baby washes carries over here. A "dermatologically tested" claim needs a patch test supervised by a dermatologist.

Pump or flip-top bottles for shampoo and conditioner, because they are opened with wet hands. A nozzle or spray bottle for hair tonic so it reaches the scalp, a dropper or pump for serum and beard oil, and capsules or a small pump bottle for hair vitamin. Every material is tested against the formula, oils and fragrance in particular.

Most brands start with a shampoo and a matching conditioner built around one clear concern, such as dandruff, hair fall, or a sensitive scalp. A leave-on product for the same concern, usually a hair tonic or a serum, turns it into a routine of three. Beard oil and hair vitamin work well as single products for a narrower audience.

With ODM, the AIMSKINCARE R&D team develops a formula from your brief, covering hair type, scalp concern, foam, scent, and claims. With OEM, or private label, you start from a shampoo, conditioner, or tonic base we already make and adjust the scent, the color, or the packaging, which shortens the preparation.

Because a shampoo is judged on the scalp, and gentle cleansing is what the team does most. AIMSKINCARE has been a contract manufacturer since 2017, part of AIM Group, with its own R&D lab, CPKB and Halal certification, and quality checks on every batch. More than 80 brands have developed products with us.

The products you want to launch, the hair type and scalp concern they are for, the foam, texture, and scent you have in mind, a reference product if there is one, the claims you hope to print, and a rough quantity. The first consultation is free, and samples follow from that brief.
