Color Cosmetics Contract Manufacturing

A cosmetics manufacturer develops, tests, and produces makeup, and you sell it under your own brand. AIMSKINCARE handles the formula, the shade matching, the wear and stability tests, the packaging, BPOM notification, and halal certification. You decide the shade range, the positioning, and where it is sold.

For lips we make lip balm, lip gloss, lip tint, and lipstick. For the face we make primer, foundation, cushion, BB cream, CC cream, concealer, color corrector, blush, contour, and highlighter. For the eyes we make eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and brow gel. Liquid, cream, stick, and pressed formats are all possible.

Color has to be the same every time. Pigments such as iron oxides and titanium dioxide are milled and dispersed until no streaks remain, then each batch is compared with the approved standard under controlled light. Texture matters as much, because a lip tint that settles or a foundation that oxidizes on the skin loses its buyer.

We start from your reference and the buyers you have in mind. Complexion products are usually built across light, medium, and tan depths with warm, neutral, and olive undertones, then tried on real skin, because a shade that looks right in the pan can turn gray or orange once it sets. Lip and cheek shades are tested the same way.

"Long-lasting" or a stated number of hours needs a wear test on panelists. "Transferproof" and "waterproof" need a transfer or water resistance test. "Non-comedogenic" and "dermatologically tested" need their own studies. Under BPOM Regulation No. 3 of 2022 a claim without supporting data cannot go on the label.

Yes, but the number has to be measured. Any SPF value needs in vivo testing under ISO 24444, and a PA rating needs a UVA test under ISO 24443. The UV filters also change the shade and the texture, so sun protection is decided at the brief, before shade matching starts.

Colorants follow BPOM Regulation No. 23 of 2019 as amended by No. 17 of 2022, which sets where each one may be used. Lip products are partly swallowed, so their colorants come from the narrower list permitted for lips. Heavy metals are limited as well, for example lead at no more than 20 ppm, and we check pigments against these limits.

Eye-area products face stricter microbiological requirements, because the wand goes back into the tube after every use. The preservative system is challenge tested, and the colorants must be ones permitted near the eyes. An "ophthalmologist tested" claim needs a study supervised by an eye doctor.

Yes. Cushions, BB creams, and lip products are often built with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, centella, or ceramides. The amount has to be compatible with the pigments and stay stable, and the claim stays cosmetic, such as helping to keep the skin moisturized. We test the tinted formula, since pigments can change how an active behaves.

It does. Since 17 October 2026, when the phase-in under Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024 ended, cosmetics sold in Indonesia must be halal certified, and makeup is included. AIMSKINCARE is halal certified. Waxes, emollients, and pigments are checked from supplier documents, and the halal file is prepared together with the BPOM notification.

A doe-foot wand tube for lip tint, lip gloss, and concealer. A twist-up stick for lipstick and lip balm, a compact with a puff for cushion, a pump or tube for foundation and BB cream, and a pan in a compact for blush and eyeshadow. The applicator changes the result, so we test the formula with the actual component.

Most new brands start with lip products, usually a lip tint or lipstick in a handful of shades, because a lip shade does not have to match the skin tone of the buyer. A cushion or blush often comes next. Complexion products with a wide shade range usually follow once the brand knows its buyers.

With ODM, the AIMSKINCARE R&D team develops a formula from your brief, covering the texture, finish, coverage, shades, and claims. With OEM, or private label, you start from a makeup base we already make and choose the shades and the packaging, which shortens the preparation.

Because shade consistency is treated as a quality matter, not a matter of taste. 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. The practice with gentle formulas from mom and baby care carries into products for lips and the eye area.

The products you want to launch, the finish and coverage you have in mind, a reference product or swatch for each shade, the skin tones you are selling to, the claims you hope to print, and a rough quantity. The first consultation is free, and samples follow from that brief.
