Your Project Does Not Have to Start at Step 01
If you already have an established formula, reference product, defined packaging direction, or completed development work, we can begin at the stage that best matches your current project status. Whether you need support with one technical step or a connected OEM/ODM development workflow, the process can be structured around your product, target market, and manufacturing requirements.
Choose Your Starting Point
Choose Your Development Route
Beauty projects can begin from very different starting points. You may start with an existing formula for faster market entry, develop a custom product from concept, or bring an established formula and specifications for manufacturing.
01 / PRIVATE LABEL
Start with an Existing Formula
Best suited to brands that want to shorten the early development process and build a branded product from an established formula platform.
You Start With
A defined product category, target market, brand positioning, or a clear direction for the product you want to launch.
Development Focus
Discuss a Private Label Project →
02 / CUSTOM ODM
Develop a Custom Product from Concept
Best suited to brands that want to build a differentiated product around a target consumer, positioning, performance direction, texture, and product experience.
You Start With
A product concept, target consumer, reference product, ingredient direction, market requirement, or an early-stage product idea.
Development Focus
Explore Custom ODM Development →
03 / OEM MANUFACTURING
Bring an Established Formula to Manufacturing
Best suited to projects with an established formula, defined product specifications, or completed development work that now require manufacturing feasibility review and commercial production.
You Start With
An established formula, technical specifications, approved sample, defined packaging format, or detailed manufacturing requirements.
Manufacturing Focus

Why NEXO Beauty Labs
Why Brands Work With NEXO
Beauty product development requires more than a formula. NEXO connects R&D, product experience, manufacturing feasibility, quality control, and commercial production within one coordinated OEM/ODM development system.
01 / INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT
R&D and Manufacturing Work Together
As a product moves from the laboratory toward market launch, formulation, processing, packaging, and manufacturing conditions need to remain aligned. Connecting R&D with manufacturing allows production, filling, and packaging requirements to be considered earlier in development.
From Laboratory Development to Commercial Manufacturing
02 / FORMULATION PLATFORM
A Broad Formulation Platform with Custom Development
NEXO works with a platform of 5,000+ mature formulations, giving brands the option to start from an established product direction or move into further customization around target consumers, performance goals, texture, sensory experience, and positioning.
Established Platforms + Custom Development
03 / PRODUCT INNOVATION
Innovation Beyond the Formula
Beyond conventional skincare, scalp care, body care, and sun care, development can also explore differentiated product experiences through capsules, freeze-dried systems, microencapsulation, dual-chamber concepts, hydrogel formats, and other innovative formats.
Formula × Format × User Experience
04 / QUALITY & VALIDATION
Quality Control Across Development and Manufacturing
Quality management does not begin only with finished-product inspection. Depending on the project, controls can cover raw materials, packaging, bulk products, production execution, finished-product review, validation, retained samples, and batch traceability.

Start from Where You Are
You Can Start With
You do not need a complete product brief before the first conversation. Share what you already have, and we can begin from the appropriate stage.
01 / EARLY IDEA
An Early Product Idea
You know what you want to create but have not yet finalized the formula, texture, or packaging direction.
02 / REFERENCE PRODUCT
A Reference Product
You have a benchmark for texture, format, application experience, packaging, or positioning.
03 / INGREDIENT OR TECHNOLOGY
An Ingredient or Technology Direction
You want to build a product around a particular ingredient, technology, delivery approach, or innovative format.
04 / EXISTING FORMULA
An Existing Formula or Specification
You already have a formula, sample, or specification and need scale-up, manufacturing, or quality support.
You can contact us even if your brief is not complete. Share the idea, sample, formula, packaging direction, or target market you already have.
Discuss Your Project →Q&A
Q1: Do you offer private label products as well as custom formulation?
A: Yes. NEXO Beauty Labs offers existing formulas for private label projects and custom formulation and ODM development for more specific requirements. We can also review OEM manufacturing based on your product specifications. The appropriate route depends on your formula, packaging, and customization needs.
Q2: What information should I provide to start a product development project?
A: Share your product type, target market, preferred ingredients and texture, packaging direction, estimated quantity, and target launch date. A reference product can also help explain your expectations. You can start with an initial concept and discuss the remaining details with our team during the project review.
Q3: Can you help select ingredients and delivery systems for my product?
A: Yes. We can evaluate your preferred ingredients alongside the formula base, texture, stability, packaging, and manufacturing requirements. Where appropriate, encapsulation or other delivery approaches can be considered. Recommendations depend on the complete product concept rather than adding a particular ingredient or technology in isolation.
Q4: Can you develop serum capsules, freeze-dried products, and hydrogel formats?
A: Yes. Our development capabilities include single-dose capsules, freeze-dried products, hydrogel masks and eye patches, microencapsulated formulas, dual-chamber systems, and waterless formats. Each project requires a review of formula compatibility, packaging, application method, and production feasibility to determine which options suit your brand.
Q5: How are samples evaluated and refined before production?
A: Samples can be reviewed for appearance, texture, spreadability, fragrance, finish, and overall use experience. Feedback helps guide formula adjustments against the agreed product brief. Performance-related testing needs are reviewed separately; the methods, testing provider, costs, and sample revision scope should be confirmed for each project.
Q6: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: MOQ depends on the product type, formula, packaging, and level of customization. Share your preferred product, pack size, packaging requirements, and estimated order quantity so we can review the available options and confirm a project-specific MOQ.
Q7: How long do product development and manufacturing take?
A: Development timing depends on formulation work, sampling, testing, and packaging preparation. Manufacturing timing also depends on order quantity and production requirements. Share your target launch date when you enquire so we can review feasibility and outline the development and production stages around the necessary approvals.
Q8: How do you maintain consistency from approved samples to mass production?
A: Approved samples and agreed product specifications provide references for production preparation and quality review. Scale-up review, in-process monitoring, and finished-product checks help manage consistency in appearance, texture, and other agreed quality criteria. Batch records and retained samples also support traceability and subsequent review.
Q9: What quality checks and documentation are available for my order?
A: Quality checks cover raw materials, packaging, production, and finished products. Depending on the project, relevant test reports, batch-related information, and applicable manufacturing certificates may be available. Share your documentation requirements early so we can confirm what can be provided and whether additional testing is needed.
Q10: How can you support products intended for international markets?
A: We can provide relevant product documentation, testing information, and manufacturing details within the agreed project scope. Tell us your intended sales markets at the start of development. Please also specify any additional testing or regulatory support you need so the available support and responsibilities can be clarified before proceeding.
