What our manufacturing partners say
“I came for a sample approval and left feeling like part of the family.”
The owners met me themselves, walked me through the lab and the production line, and had several versions of our product ready to approve in person - no sending them back and forth.

Visit our cosmetics factory in Bulgaria
Many of our partners visit us before their first order. We meet you at the airport, walk you through the lab and the production line, and prepare your samples so you can approve them face to face.
Our standard starting quantity is from 3,000 units per SKU. The exact minimum can depend on the formula, packaging components and production process, so we confirm it after reviewing your brief.
We provide both private label and contract manufacturing services for skincare, body care, hair care and hygiene products. We can develop a new formula, adapt an existing formula, match a reference product or manufacture a formula supplied by your company.
Formulation, mixing, filling, packaging and quality control take place at our facility in Karlovo, Bulgaria, inside the European Union. Our laboratory and production departments work at the same location.
We manufacture creams, lotions, serums, facial and body oils, cleansers, foams, balms, masks, toners, mists, sunscreens, scrubs, shampoos, body washes, wet wipes, sheet masks and sachets in a wide range of packaging formats.
You communicate directly with the family running the business and the people responsible for your project. This keeps decisions clear and avoids unnecessary layers between you, our laboratory and production team.
Most approved projects move from final formula and packaging approval to finished production in about six to eight weeks. Special packaging, complex formulas, external testing or regulatory requirements may extend the timeline.
