Capsule and Ampoule Formats
Capsule and ampoule products are a substantial part of what we manufacture, including micro-encapsulated serums and single-dose ampoules.
Plant-derived capsule shells are a well established material family in cosmetics rather than a proprietary invention, built from agar, pullulan or cellulose-derived films. What differs between suppliers is the filling tolerance, the shell-to-fill compatibility work and the tooling minimum behind a custom shape.
- Micro-encapsulated and pearl-format serums, supplied as OEM beauty products under your brand
- Single-dose ampoules for concentrated actives
- Bi-phase and dual-layer oil serums
- Freeze-dried formats for ingredients that will not hold in water
Packaging Support
Packaging selection, custom packaging solutions, supplier coordination and packaging sourcing are part of the programme.
Components are sourced and coordinated with our packaging suppliers rather than produced in house. That distinction is the single biggest driver of your minimum order.
Format decided, packaging not? Estimate your first order quantity before you commit to a component set.
Quality Management and Certification Scope
Certificates are worth what their scope says and nothing more. The Certificate Scope Ledger below carries each certificate behind our production, with its number, its issuing body, its expiry and the scope actually registered on it.
| Scheme | Certificate | Issued by | Valid to | Registered scope |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 22716:2007 cosmetics GMP | SZ2503C3 | Intertek Testing Services | 12 March 2028 | General Liquid Unit, covering hair care and cleansing products, skin care liquid products and gel products. |
| Cosmetic GMP assessment | SZ2503C4 | Intertek Testing Services | 12 March 2028 | Same registered production units as SZ2503C3 |
| Halal determination | LPPOM-00150276060425 | Majelis Ulama Indonesia | 15 April 2029 | Company-level determination |
Two notes on reading this table. ISO 22716:2007 covers production, control, storage and shipment, and the standard itself was last reviewed and confirmed in 2022, so the version remains current. The second certificate is an Intertek assessment.
Quality Process
Quality control runs across the whole production process rather than at final inspection only. Raw material inspection, formula evaluation, in-process monitoring, stability testing, packaging compatibility testing and finished-product inspection run batch by batch.
Raw material inspection
Formula evaluation
In-process monitoring
Stability testing
The conditions, the duration and the pass criteria are specified and justified per product, which is why we agree them with you at the development stage rather than quoting a blanket shelf life.
Testing Support
- Stability testing on a product-specific protocol
- Packaging compatibility testing against the selected component set
- Sensory evaluation during texture development
Documents Supplied
- Export documentation & Technical files
- Full ingredient information for listing
- Batch quality records, retained per run
Verification
A badge with no number is a risk you cannot audit, because the registered scope and the expiry date are exactly what a procurement team has to verify. Every row above carries both, plus the holder name, so the check takes minutes rather than an email thread.
Need these on file before you brief us? Build a quotation-ready brief and tell us which market you are filing in.

Six Steps from
brief to shipment
Six steps run from first brief to shipment. Quality issues happen when timelines are rushed and a stage gets skipped, which is why a sample is prepared and approved before every production run, on every project, without exception.
OEM
Process
01
Brief
Send the product concept, target market, format and quantity. If you already have a formula, a specification or a benchmark or reference sample, send that instead.
02
Route and quotation
We come back with the route from the Four-Route Decision Grid above, the minimum order for your format and the timeline. A Non-Disclosure Agreement is signed at this point on request.
03
Sample development
Initial samples are prepared within 3 working days of the brief. International delivery adds a further 5–7 working days.
04
Sample approval and packaging confirmation
You approve the formula and the component set. Revisions happen here, not after production starts.
05
Production
Commercial production runs 10–15 working days after formula approval, packaging confirmation and production preparation, with in-process monitoring throughout.
06
Release and shipment
Finished-product inspection, batch records, then dispatch with the document set listed above.
What Speeds a Project Up
A brief that names the format, the target market and the quantity in the first message
A benchmark or reference sample, which removes a whole round of direction-finding
Early packaging decisions, because component lead time usually sets the critical path
One named approver on your side for formula and artwork sign-off
Built for Scalable Beauty Manufacturing
Production runs in a 36,000 m² facility with 56 production lines. We build on a manufacturing foundation dating back to 1999, with NEXO's international business team operating since 2020.

Where Regulatory Responsibility Sits
Two duties decide who answers to a regulator when a product is on sale. Neither can be transferred to a manufacturing site outside that market. Knowing which one is yours before you brief a factory saves a launch delay later.
01
Category code finder
Work out which United States listing category your product falls under before you file. It is a lookup, straight from the published category list.
Launch Primary Tool
02
Responsibility checker
Answer four questions and see who the responsible person is for your route to market.
Check Responsibility
03
Programme day counter
Count the committed working days from brief to finished goods against your own review and packaging times. Set those two and the tool counts the whole programme.

Intelligence Hub
Precision answers on formulation, compliance, and supply chain timelines.
01
What is your minimum order quantity
Our standard minimum order is 10,000 units per SKU. Flexible evaluation is available for new product launches, market-testing projects and special development requirements. The figure assumes your own packaging rather than stock components.
03
How long does it take to get a sample
Initial samples are prepared within 3 working days of receiving your brief. International delivery adds a further 5–7 working days depending on destination. A benchmark or reference sample from your side usually removes one revision round.
05
What are your payment terms
Bulk orders run on a 50% deposit at order confirmation and the 50% balance before shipment, by bank transfer. Sample development and shipping are quoted separately.
07
Can you develop a product without an existing formula
Yes. Projects can start from 5,000+ market-ready formula solutions, or from a concept with an ingredient direction that our team develops into a formula. Formulation development runs with Winskin Life Science Research Institute.
09
What certifications does the manufacturing site hold and what do they cover
The site holds ISO 22716:2007 cosmetics GMP under Intertek certificate SZ2503C3, a second Intertek GMP assessment under SZ2503C4, and a Halal determination from Majelis Ulama Indonesia. The Certificate Scope Ledger above carries the registered scope, expiry and holder for each.
■ A site certificate covers the manufacturing operation
■ Product-level safety assessment and market notification are separate steps
■ We supply the ingredient and technical files those steps require
11
Who is the responsible person for my product in the European Union
For an imported cosmetic product the importer is the responsible person, and may designate another person established within the Union by written mandate. If you place the product under your own name or trademark as a distributor, the role is yours. A manufacturer outside the Union cannot hold it, because the regulation requires the responsible person to be established within the Union.
13
Which product categories are outside your scope
We manufacture skincare, hair care, body care and personal care products. Colour cosmetics, hair colouring, nail preparations and oral products are outside the programme, and a project in those categories belongs with a specialist in them instead. Asking a liquid and cream plant to run them is the wrong call for your timeline as much as for ours.
02
Why do published minimum order quantities differ so much between manufacturers
Because they are not always measuring the same thing. A minimum can refer to the batch, to the packaging components or to the raw materials, and the highest of the three is what you actually order. Ask which layer the number refers to and the quotes become comparable.
04
How long does production take after sample approval
Commercial production runs 10–15 working days after formula approval, packaging confirmation and production preparation. Component lead time is the usual reason a project sits outside that window. A first programme runs around 60 days end to end.
06
What is the difference between OEM, ODM, private label and contract manufacturing
The difference is what you bring. Private label starts from a proven formula you customise, ODM starts from your concept and our development, reference sample development starts from a product you want matched, and contract manufacturing starts from a formula you already own. The Four-Route Decision Grid near the top of this page compares all four.
08
Will you sign a non-disclosure agreement
Yes. We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement covering your product concepts, formulation information and confidential business requirements. It is normally signed before formulation details are exchanged.
10
Is the manufacturing site FDA certified
FDA does not issue certificates for cosmetic facility registration or product listing, and states that registration and listing are neither an approval programme nor a promotional tool. So no cosmetics manufacturer anywhere holds an FDA certificate for this.
■ What the site does hold is set out in the Certificate Scope Ledger above
■ Every entry carries a number you can check against the issuing body's own register
12
What documents ship with the order
Export documentation, product technical files, full ingredient information and batch quality records. Ingredient information is the piece your responsible person needs for labelling and for product listing.
