Do you want to create your own cosmetics brand ? Many questions arise when embarking on such a project: what is the budget for creating cosmetics in France? Which suppliers to work with? What is the best packaging for natural cosmetics?
Fortunately, to develop your cosmetic products, no need to take the lead on sharp and very technical questions. Costomise is there to help you and support you to launch your range of products serenely.
We will explain how this co-creation takes place, where creativity, listening and discussion are the key words in the creation of your 100% tailor-made cosmetic products.
The 7 steps to creating your cosmetics brand
1. Making contact
Obviously, making contact is the first essential step so that we can best understand your requirements and needs . This is when we study how we can help you with your project.
We will send you a price proposal based on very detailed specifications which will be used to create this tailor-made quote.
2. Defining the direction to take
Once our collaboration has been validated, we review all the elements of your cosmetic product together. Nothing is forgotten because it helps define the direction to take for the creation of your products.
We specify your expectations regarding:
– commercial positioning ;
– the texture of the product ;
– appearance ;
– the smell ;
– the price ;
– if it is natural, organic, French , etc.
This second step is essential to have a clear foundation in order to move forward with consistency and ease thereafter. The schedule is defined and competitive monitoring of trends and new products is put in place.
3. Sourcing of ingredients and packaging
It is during this third stage that things a little more concrete begin! A real co-creation is set up: Costomise offers you different alternatives to find the one that best suits your expectations to carry out your ideal range.
In no case are you left out, we make a point of involving you throughout the creation process .
We bring you our expertise on technical questions, you bring your creativity and your desires.
Being concerned with the environment, we favor natural and French alternatives . Costomise promotes short circuits for the supply of assets and the use of recyclable materials . This step is very important in our eyes because we sincerely seek to offer you innovative and differentiating materials that are respectful of the environment.
Whether you want to make cosmetics without water , or to create a range of products that only incorporates French vegetable oils , we will offer you solutions.
4. The wording
This step is undoubtedly the one that requires the most exchanges between the two parties so that the final product is as close as possible to your aspirations. We are convinced that improvements and adjustments occur through emulation of discussions .
For this, there is nothing like face-to-face exchanges by videoconference or in person when conditions permit. This allows you to obtain a 100% tailor-made and personalized product.
5. Packaging
In addition to sourcing to find the best containers and packaging for your product range, Costomise advises you on the regulatory information to be indicated. Whether it is the list of ingredients, legal obligations, recycling constraints, you are explained to you.
Labels and cases can also be made by us.
6. The regulatory aspect
Once the formula has been validated, it is time to go to regulatory tests . Again, Costomise accompanies you to be sure of the conformity of your cosmetics.
We supervise and carry out the following steps:
– submission of laboratory samples according to the product brief;
– regulatory tests ;
– control of product claims and labeling .
– the regulatory file (DIP) including the toxicological evaluation ;
We create the Product Information File (DIP) according to European Regulation 1223/2009 to guarantee that you are in compliance with the legislation. At the same time, we declare your cosmetic product(s) on the European CPNP portal so that you can market them in France or Europe .
We also monitor your files and manage audits with certification bodies ( Ecocert , Cosmecert , Bureau Veritas ) or labels ( Slow Cosmétique ).
7. Industrialization and Production
We carefully monitor the quality of your products . This is why we carefully select the manufacturing and packaging adapted to our requirements.
We carry out:
– the drafting and implementation of subcontracting contracts ;
– the creation of a pilot with travel if necessary,
– the management of industrial transposition ;
– supervision of the manufacturing and packaging of finished products ;
– verification of the quality file ;
– delivery of final products .
