1 Project Brief.
Every great journey begins with a single step, and having a map makes the path clearer. A comprehensive project brief acts as this map. It encapsulates a detailed understanding of the target market, outlines cost parameters, highlights key selling points, benchmarks against competitors, and sketches the vision for ideal packaging.
This roadmap equips us to navigate the complexities of product development. Our role is to translate this vision into reality, crafting solutions that meet stringent quality and efficiency standards while resonating with your brand’s identity.
2 Research + Development.
Your project demands a collaborator who is not just in tune with your goals but is also equipped to transform your detailed brief into a reality.
With your Development Chemist on board and a thorough cost assessment to guide the financial aspects, we are set for success.
Once paper costs are approved we hit the lab, typically exceeding a clients brief within 2 – 3 submissions.
3 The Seal Process.
Once your sample is approved, we initiate the sample seal process to ensure meticulous quality control.
- Bronze Seal.
Your initial lab formula in a glass jar. - Silver Seal.
Your lab batch in representative plain packaging. - Gold Seal.
Your production formula in your final packaging. - Black Seal.
Your final product from the line.
This gated process ensures you’re in control of the progression of your project at every stage.
4 Regulatory, Compliance + Testing.
Our regulatory, compliance and testing teams ensure that your final formulation and packaging have successfully navigated through accelerated stability and compatibility tests and challenge testing.
This comprehensive evaluation affirms that the product is stable, compatible, and safe for consumer use.
Additionally, we verifies that all product claims and artwork adhere strictly to legal and compliance standards relevant to your market. Ensuring that your product is not just ready for the market but is poised to set new benchmarks for quality and consumer satisfaction.
5 Pre-Production.
The pre-production phase is crucial in preparing a product for manufacturing, involving teamwork across departments aligning the practical aspects of production, such as schedules, resources, budgets, and technical needs.
It involves closely reviewing plans to spot and fix potential problems early, ensuring everything from the quality of materials to the setup of production facilities meets high standards.
By checking material availability, evaluating the manufacturer’s readiness, and maintaining strict quality control, this preparation smooths the way for production. It lays the groundwork for ensuring the final product is of the highest quality.
6 Quality Control.
From initial raw material validation, including thorough supplier checks and batch testing, to precise formulation and consistent batch mixing, every step is critical.
The process also includes monitoring the production line, ensuring equipment calibration, and validating cleaning processes for quality assurance.
Packaging and labeling are meticulously checked for accuracy and integrity, safeguarding the product’s consistency and safety. Finally, extensive final product testing, ranging from sensory evaluations to chemical and microbiological safety checks, guarantees that every cosmetic item meets the highest quality benchmarks.
7 Scale-Up.
The process team adapted the initial product formulation and processes, proven successful on a smaller scale to meet the demands of mass production. They tackle the challenges of maintaining product consistency, quality, and efficiency as production volumes increase.
This involves meticulous planning, testing, and adjustment of production parameters, equipment settings, and raw material inputs to ensure that the product retains its desired characteristics at a larger scale.
The process team’s expertise provides a seamless transition from the lab bench to the production line, enabling the product to reach the market efficiently without compromising its integrity or performance.
8 Procurement.
Communication is critical in this process, with lead times for each order relayed through the Account Manager to ensure that all departments are synchronised and can plan accordingly.
Once these materials and components arrive, they are inspected thoroughly to meet acceptable quality levels. This step is vital to maintaining the integrity of the final product, as it guarantees that only the best quality materials are used in production.
This meticulous approach to procurement and quality control helps to minimise delays. It ensures that the manufacturing process proceeds without any hitches, contributing to the overall efficiency and success of the project.
9 Manufacture.
The manufacturing phase begins with selecting, weighing, and numbering raw materials by the specified manufacturing method.
These materials are then combined into batches, ranging in size from 10 kilograms to 5 tonnes, to suit the production scale and ensure consistency across products. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications and quality standards, guaranteeing the integrity and performance of the final product.
Following successful testing, batch codes and comprehensive supporting documentation are prepared. This ensures each batch adheres to the high standards , underscoring a commitment to quality and precision in manufacturing.
10 Production.
Our Operations Team fills your formula into your chosen packaging during the production phase, explicitly tailored to meet your requirements.
Whether packaging individual products into user-friendly cartons or preparing bulk shipments on pallets for delivery, we handle each step with meticulous care. This approach ensures that your product arrives in the market in flawless condition, ready to make a significant impact and satisfy your consumers.
Our team’s attention to detail ensures that from the moment your product leaves our facility to the moment it reaches the market, it exemplifies the highest standards of quality and care, ready to meet your customers’ expectations.
11 Post-Production Review.
Conducting a post-production review ensures that your products consistently meet the highest standards of quality and consistency. Our inspections and testing protocols identify potential issues early, preventing costly recalls and enhancing consumer satisfaction.
We verify compliance with regulatory standards, ensuring safety and quality, as well as optimising packaging and distribution methods, reducing waste and costs while improving sustainability.
12 Warehousing + Shipping.
After these stringent checks, the approved products are packaged and organised on pallets, ready for distribution. To complete the process, dispatch notes are prepared and sent directly from the warehouse to you.
This systematic approach guarantees that every product not only meets the high standards set but is also accurately accounted for and efficiently delivered, ensuring a seamless transition from production to the hands of your audience.
