What is cosmetic contract manufacturing?
Cosmetic contract manufacturing is an arrangement in which a brand hands the development and production of its products to a cosmetics manufacturer and sells them under its own name. At AIMSKINCARE the work can cover the formula, samples, packaging, BPOM and halal registration, and production, so the brand never has to build a plant of its own.
What is the difference between ODM and OEM?
With ODM, or full service, the AIMSKINCARE R&D team develops a new formula from your brief, including its texture, scent, and claims. With OEM, or private label, you start from a base formula we already have and adjust the scent, color, or packaging. OEM usually reaches the market sooner, while ODM gives you a product that is more your own.
Which services does AIMSKINCARE offer?
There are five, full service manufacturing (ODM), private label (OEM), formulation and R&D, packaging and design, and BPOM and halal registration. Some brands take them as one package from idea to finished product, while others start from the stage they need, for example a formula they already have.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The MOQ at AIMSKINCARE is flexible and not fixed at one number. It depends on the product, the formula, and the packaging you choose, since each combination runs differently in production. Tell us the quantity you have in mind at the consultation, and we will fit the arrangement to where your brand is now, including brands that are just starting.
How long does it take from consultation to finished product?
It differs from product to product, so no single figure fits all. The route you choose matters most, then whether the formula is developed from scratch, how many sample rounds it takes, BPOM and halal registration, and when the packaging is available. OEM is usually quicker than ODM. We give you an estimated schedule after the consultation.
Can I bring my own formula?
Yes. A brand that already has a formula can use the formulation and R&D service, where our team reviews it, adjusts it where needed, and makes samples before anything goes into production. From there the work carries on to packaging, registration, and production in the usual way.
Can AIMSKINCARE help with packaging design?
Yes. The packaging and design service covers choosing a container that suits the formula and designing or adjusting the label. The container is chosen with you, so it fits the texture of the product, the position of your brand, and the way the product is used every day.
Who handles BPOM and halal registration?
The AIMSKINCARE team prepares the documents and guides the BPOM notification and halal certification for every product made with us, including for brands that have never registered a product before. From your side, only the company and trademark documents are needed.
Do cosmetics have to be registered at BPOM and halal certified?
Yes. Cosmetics sold in Indonesia must be notified at BPOM before they reach the market, and they must be halal certified or carry a non-halal statement. Both are part of the AIMSKINCARE process, so your product is ready to be sold through official channels.
Which product categories can be made?
AIMSKINCARE makes skincare, body care, hair care, oral care, color cosmetics, fragrance, essential oils, men’s care, and mom and baby products, which are our specialty. The full list is on the products page, and anything outside it can be raised at the consultation.
Does AIMSKINCARE work with brands that are just starting?
Yes. Some brands come to us with nothing more than an idea and a picture of who will buy it. A new brand often chooses OEM because it is the quicker way to market, while ODM suits a brand that wants a more distinctive product from day one. We talk both through at the consultation.
Is the first consultation free?
No, the first consultation with the AIMSKINCARE team is free. In that session we map out the product you want to make, the market it is for, the route that fits, and a rough quantity, before any sample work begins.
What should I prepare before the consultation?
A picture of the product you want, who it is for, a reference product if you have one, the price you plan to sell at, and a rough quantity. If some of that is still unclear, that is fine. Our team helps you sharpen it during the consultation.
