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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)

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.
