Men’s Care Contract Manufacturing

A cosmetics manufacturer develops, tests, and produces skincare and grooming products for men, and you sell them under your own brand. AIMSKINCARE handles the formula, stability testing, packaging, BPOM notification, and halal certification. You decide which man the brand talks to, what it promises, and where it is sold.

The men’s range today has two products, an oil control face wash and a beard serum, with beard oil listed under hair care. Moisturizer, sunscreen, body wash, deodorant, and hair styling products can be developed from a brief. We would sooner say that at the start than show a long catalogue.

Men’s skin generally produces more sebum, is somewhat thicker, and is shaved often, which leaves it prone to irritation. The formulas therefore lean toward oil control, light gel textures that leave no shine, and soothing ingredients such as panthenol or allantoin. The scent and the packaging are chosen for men as well.

Yes. Many men prefer a short routine, so an all-in-one gel moisturizer, a face and beard wash, or a hair and body wash tends to sell well. Each combined product still has to do both jobs properly, so the surfactants and the actives are chosen for the more demanding of the two uses.

"Oil control" and "mattifying" need sebum measurements on a panel, taken before use and some hours after. "Dermatologically tested" needs a patch test under a dermatologist. Typical ingredients are niacinamide, zinc PCA, salicylic acid, and oil-absorbing clays. BPOM Regulation No. 3 of 2022 asks for data behind each claim.

It can say it helps care for acne-prone skin or helps reduce the look of blemishes. It cannot say it treats or removes acne. Salicylic acid is allowed up to 3 percent in rinse-off products such as a face wash and up to 2 percent in leave-on products, under the BPOM ingredient rules.

A beard oil is a blend of light oils such as jojoba and argan that softens the hair and the skin under it. A beard serum is lighter, often water-based, and carries ingredients such as panthenol, biotin, or caffeine. Either one can be scented or left fragrance-free.

No. Hair claims stay cosmetic, so a beard serum may say it helps care for the beard so that it looks fuller and better kept. It may not say it grows hair. Caffeine, panthenol, and biotin can be named as ingredients, and the wording around them is checked before the label is printed.

Yes, through ODM. Water-based pomade, clay, wax, and styling cream differ in hold, shine, and how easily they wash out, and those three points make up the brief. The formula is developed for your brand from the start, and each sample round is judged against the hold and the finish you asked for.

Woody, aquatic, citrus, and fresh spicy directions are the usual starting points, and a fragrance-free version suits skin that is irritated by shaving. The dose follows IFRA standards for the product type. Certain fragrance allergens must be declared on the label, which we take from the fragrance supplier’s documents.

Yes, the same as any other cosmetic. Each product is notified at BPOM before sale, and halal certification has been mandatory for cosmetics sold in Indonesia since the phase-in under Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024 ended on 17 October 2026. AIMSKINCARE is halal certified and prepares both files for your product.

A tube for face wash, since it stands in the shower and travels well. A pump or airless bottle for moisturizer, a dropper bottle for beard serum and beard oil, a roll-on for deodorant, and a low jar for pomade or clay. Dark, matte finishes are common, and the material is still tested with the formula.

Start with the face wash, because it is the product most men already buy. A moisturizer or a sunscreen is the natural second, and beard care fits a brand that speaks to men who keep a beard. Two or three products that form a routine are enough for a first launch.

With OEM, or private label, you begin from a base we already make, such as the oil control face wash or the beard serum, and adjust the scent or the packaging. With ODM, the AIMSKINCARE R&D team develops a new formula from your brief. Most other men’s products go through ODM.

Because a men’s product is still a skincare formula, and that is the daily work here. 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. Practice with gentle formulas helps with skin that is shaved every day.

The products you want, the man you are selling to, his skin concern, the 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 the samples are developed from that brief.
