Our flexible "tailor-made" offer
to make your project a reality

9 to 10 months on average

How does our made-to-measure cosmetics offer work?

Forget everything you've seen in cosmetic outsourcing, we're here with you to create an original cosmetic range to match your desires.

Body and facial beauty, make-up or specific care - dermo-cosmetics for atopic skin, peelings - there are many possibilities for creating lotions, serums, gels, milks, oils, etc.

The know-how and technical skills of our teams allow BIOTIC Phocea to also work on very specific and complex formulations to develop allergen-free organic cosmetics for babies or pregnant women.

With you every step of the way
1
Definition of the specifications & validation of the feasibility of your project
  • Whether you opt for a natural, certifiable organic and/or vegan range, you will find a complete face and body offer at BIOTIC Phocea Laboratories. Our R&D team continually sources new, ever more effective active ingredients and innovates on the sensoriality of the formulas.
  • You can then integrate a specific active ingredient or fragrance to create a real differentiation.
2
Launch of the Research & Development phase of the formula with the sending of samples
  • Once the feasibility study has been carried out by our R&D team and the specifications have been defined together, we will carry out the first tests.
  • We send you samples so that you can test the theoretical formula validated beforehand.
  • We exchange the time necessary to rework, adjust and refine the formula so that it corresponds exactly to your expectations.
3
Final validation of formula(s) & selection of packaging
  • Once the formula has been validated at this stage of the process, we look together at the packaging that is best suited to this galenic and gestural approach.
  • For faster development, we can offer you catalogue packs that we have in stock.
  • If you source your packs from an external service provider, we run the stabilities & compatibilities in sample packaging.
4
Development of the visuals & your brand image
A key step in the development of your brand, we help you to understand this creation. Each product must be able to reflect your brand DNA while enhancing the cosmetic formula. The end consumer will thus be seduced by your face or body care range.
5
Launch of regulatory tests (PIF)
  • We take care of sending samples of your products to external laboratories in order to carry out all the mandatory tests that guarantee the quality and safety of your products.
  • NWe draw up the Product Information File (PIF) for each of your references.
  • We declare your products on the European portal (CPNP: Cosmetic Products Notification Portal)

Packaging & delivery
A few weeks after approval of the project, we deliver your packaged products to the address indicated.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between organic and organic label?

A: We speak of an organic product when a certain percentage of ingredients of organic origin is present in the formula.
The BIO label is the recognition given by a certifying body. Please note that each label has its own charter of commitments.

Q: Can I say that it is organic without a label?

A: Yes, it is possible to mention it in writing only if you are talking about an organic ingredient.
However, you cannot write it for a finished product unless it is made up of 100% organically produced ingredients.
If you want to put the organic logo on your product, it is compulsory to have it certified.

Q: How are your suppliers chosen?

A: We are careful about the choice of our suppliers.
For all raw materials, we require a certificate of analysis from our supplier in order to verify their conformity.
Whenever possible, we select French suppliers.

Q: What is a claim and a use test?

A: A claim is a verified marketing argument that can be put on the product label. It must be proven by a use test.
For example, for our anti-ageing range, we had tests carried out on a panel of testers. During the feedback, the term "anti-ageing" came up enough to be considered a proven claim.

Q: Do I have to choose a packaging from your range?

A: No, you can source packaging from another supplier. BIOTIC Phocea can package your formulas in your own packaging. A pack test will have to be carried out to check the compatibility of the packaging/formula.
