Baby face cream contract manufacturing

A cosmetics manufacturer develops and produces a cream made for a baby’s face, and you sell it under your own brand. AIMSKINCARE handles the formula, safety and stability tests, a small pack such as a tube or jar, and the BPOM notification, while you set the positioning, price, and channels.

Because the face is where the cream meets the eyes and the mouth. A body cream may carry fragrance, more plant extracts, or a richer texture that is fine on legs but not on cheeks. A face cream is lighter, used in smaller amounts, and assessed for the exposure that comes from licking and rubbing.

Glycerin draws water into the skin, squalane and light plant oils soften it without a heavy film, and ceramides support the skin barrier. A little shea butter or dimethicone helps the cream hold up against drool and wind. Panthenol is a common addition. Each ingredient is chosen with the mouth and eyes in mind.

Yes, as a cosmetic claim. A light film of dimethicone or shea butter helps keep saliva from sitting on the skin of the cheeks and chin, and glycerin helps keep that skin moisturized. The label can say it "helps protect" the skin, backed by an in-use test. It cannot say it treats drool rash.

A baby face cream is the lightest of the three and is formulated for use near the eyes and mouth. A soothing baby cream is a body cream with calming ingredients for dry, sensitive skin. A multi-purpose cream is a richer cream or balm for spot use on cheeks, elbows, knees, and dry patches.

Small amounts reaching the mouth are expected, so the safety assessment takes oral exposure into account and the formula leaves out fragrance, essential oils, and flavor. That is different from a product designed to be swallowed. A claim such as "safe if swallowed" needs its own evidence and is rarely printed on a face cream.

Cosmetics for children under three face stricter ingredient restrictions and need a safety assessment. The permitted preservatives and other ingredients follow BPOM Regulation No. 23 of 2019 as amended by No. 17 of 2022, and some that are allowed for adults are not allowed for this age or must carry a warning.

It can, but then the SPF value on the label has to be supported by in vivo testing, commonly the ISO 24444 method, and the UV filters must come from the permitted list. Most baby face creams are made without SPF and the brand sells sun protection as a separate product, which keeps the face cream simple.

"Dermatologically tested" and "hypoallergenic" need a dermatologist-supervised patch test. "Gentle around the eyes" needs eye tolerance data. A moisturizing claim can be supported by a corneometer hydration measurement. Under BPOM Regulation No. 3 of 2022, a claim without data cannot be printed.

No. Clearing acne is a therapeutic claim and is not allowed on a cosmetic. What a brand can offer is a light, non-greasy texture that does not sit heavily on the skin, and a "non-comedogenic" claim if it has been tested for that. Anything stronger belongs with a doctor, not on a cosmetic label.

A small tube is the most practical, since a face needs only a pea-sized amount and fingers stay out of the product. A small jar suits a richer texture. An airless pump protects a preservative-lean formula and gives a clean dose. Pack sizes are usually smaller than for body creams.

OEM, or private label, suits a brand that wants to add a face cream to an existing baby line quickly, using a base we already make. ODM suits a brand with a specific idea, such as a drool-care cream or a ceramide face cream for dry air, which the AIMSKINCARE R&D team develops from your brief.

The age group, the problem you want to address such as drool, wind, or dry air-conditioned rooms, the texture you have in mind, whether it must be fragrance-free, the claims you hope to print, the pack size, and a rough quantity. A reference product from the market also helps.
