Face serum manufacturing, from brief to bottle.

SOUL ARÔME offers both ready-made serum formulations and custom development. Textures can be adjusted from thicker to ultra-light according to the client's brief and formulation assessment. Available serum fill sizes range from 10–50 ml; assess the chosen bottle and dispensing system with the sample.

Serum quantities can be as low as 500 units per SKU, subject to the final offer, packaging requirements and company terms. The indicative production lead time is 1–6 weeks after sample approval. Serum samples are charged, with those charges adjusted against production; agree revision limits before development. Packaging and the test programme form part of the confirmed schedule, and manufacturing prices remain quote-based.

Our in-house R&D laboratory handles sampling, batch tests and stability work. BMRs (Batch Manufacturing Records), BPRs (Batch Packing Records) and COAs (Certificates of Analysis) are available for the project. Where external evidence is required, testing through a NABL-accredited laboratory can be arranged with its scope and cost agreed in the quotation.

Explain how the serum fits into a routine and what the customer should notice when applying it. Fluidity, absorption preference, finish and fragrance are useful starting points. A reference product can clarify the target more effectively than a long list of ingredients.

Agree the formulation route after assessing available options. A private-label base may suit one launch; a bespoke sensory or ingredient brief may need development. Confirm the scope and sample milestones before treating either route as commercially settled.

Ready niacinamide and vitamin-C serum formulations are available for private-label manufacture, with custom development possible for both. Start by comparing the available sample with the sensory experience and packaging your brand needs.

For a niacinamide serum, agree the formula specification and ingredient level rather than selecting a percentage without a complete brief. For a vitamin-C serum, discuss the proposed ingredient form, appearance and pack with the team. Stability work and any additional product claims should be scoped for the actual version you approve; no concentration or efficacy result is inferred here.

A pack should be evaluated with the serum it will contain. Discuss bottle material, closure, dispensing and fill volume, then assess the proposed combination during sampling.

Check how easily the product draws into a dropper or passes through a pump, how consistently it dispenses and whether the closure meets the use brief. Ask what stability and packaging-compatibility work is included and what additional work would be quoted separately.

Keep a record of the sample reference, appearance, fragrance, texture and dispensing feedback. If the brief changes between rounds, establish which version is being considered for final approval.

Before production, agree the specifications and quality records relevant to the SKU. Our quality process describes incoming, in-process and finished-goods checks; it does not substitute for a product-specific test plan or an approved claim.

The base formulation, requested ingredients, fill size, bottle and closure, order quantity, testing and decoration influence manufacturing cost. Development and sampling may be separate from recurring batch costs.

Ask for the MOQ per SKU and the purchase requirements for the selected pack. Share launch timing as a planning input, then confirm a schedule against samples, components and approvals. Request a serum-specific quote rather than assuming another skincare product has the same economics.
