What is foot scrub contract manufacturing?
A cosmetics manufacturer develops and produces a foot scrub that you sell under your own brand. AIMSKINCARE handles the grain and base, the scent, the stability and safety tests, the filling, and the BPOM notification and halal file. You decide whether it goes to shoppers, salons, or both, and at what price.
What is the difference between a foot scrub and a body scrub?
A foot scrub is made for the thick, rough skin on heels and soles, so it uses coarser grains, a firmer base, and often a cooling mint scent. A body scrub covers larger areas of thinner skin with finer grains and a softer base. A foot scrub is too harsh for the body, and a body scrub too gentle for heels.
Which grains work in a foot scrub?
Pumice, coarse sea salt, walnut shell, apricot seed, and coarse sugar are the usual choices. Pumice and walnut shell feel the firmest, salt adds a fresh, spa-like feel, and sugar is the gentlest. The grain also shapes the label story, for example volcanic pumice or sea salt.
Why do so many foot scrubs smell of mint?
Because buyers want their feet to feel fresh and cool after a long day, and mint, peppermint, eucalyptus, and tea tree give that feeling straight away. The cooling strength is something to agree on with samples, since some people love a strong chill and others find it too much. Lavender suits an evening, relaxing version.
Can a foot scrub claim to heal cracked heels?
No. Healing cracks is a treatment claim, and a foot scrub is a cosmetic. The usual wording is that it helps smooth rough skin, keeps heels feeling soft, and refreshes tired feet. Each claim on the label needs supporting data, and the R&D team helps you choose wording that can be printed.
Can a foot scrub be made for salons and spas?
Yes. Salons and spas usually want a larger jar, a firmer grain, a scent that suits the treatment room, and a product that pairs with a foot soak and a foot cream in their pedicure menu. Tell us at the consultation if the scrub is for professional use so the pack sizes and texture fit the treatment.
Which products go with a foot scrub in a foot care line?
A foot scrub is usually the first step. It is followed by a rich cream or body butter for the heels, and sometimes a cooling spray or a nail and cuticle oil. Selling them as a set with the same scent helps the shopper see the routine and raises the value of each purchase.
Can a foot scrub be natural or made with local ingredients?
Yes. Volcanic pumice, sea salt, coffee, and coconut oil all fit an Indonesian natural story. A "natural" statement has to be true of every raw material, including the scent and the preservative, so we confirm it from supplier documents before it goes on the label.
Which packaging suits a foot scrub?
A wide-mouth jar is the most common, because the scrub is thick and coarse and is scooped out with fingers or a spatula. A tube suits a gel or cream foot scrub and is cleaner to use at home. Salons often prefer large jars. The jar material is checked against the formula before filling.
How often should a foot scrub be used?
Most people use it once or twice a week on wet feet, followed by a foot cream. Heels that are very rough may take a few weeks of regular use to feel smooth. This usage guide is printed on the label, and it helps set honest expectations for the buyer.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM for a foot scrub?
With ODM, the AIMSKINCARE R&D team develops the foot scrub from your brief, covering the grain, the base, the cooling feel, and the claims. With OEM, or private label, you start from a base we already make and choose the grain, the scent, and the jar, which takes less preparation.
What should a brand prepare before a foot scrub consultation?
Whether you sell to homes, salons, or both, the grain and cooling level you have in mind, the scent, the other foot care products you plan, a reference product if you have one, and a rough quantity. The first consultation is free, and samples follow from that brief.
