From Concept to Shelf: What to Expect When You Work with a Contract Manufacturer

Launching a beauty product is exciting, but it comes with complexity. Working with a contract manufacturer like ACRL helps turn your idea into a compliant, high-quality product.

Here’s what the process looks like from start to finish.

Step 1: Discovery and Consultation
It starts with a conversation. We learn about your brand, your goals, and the kind of product you want to create. Whether you're starting from scratch or bringing an existing formula, we tailor the plan to fit your vision.

Step 2: Research and Development
Our chemists begin developing a formula that meets your performance goals, cost targets, and regulatory requirements. You receive samples and we refine the formula based on your feedback until it is just right.

Step 3: Testing and Feedback
We conduct micro, stability, and compatibility testing to ensure your product is safe, stable, and ready for market. You review samples, share your thoughts, and we make any adjustments needed.

Step 4: Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
Once approved, your formula enters production in our FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facility. Each batch goes through quality checks to ensure consistency and safety at every stage.

Step 5: Filling, Packaging, and Delivery
Your product is filled, labeled, and assembled to your specifications. Whether it is a jar, tube, pump, or bottle, our precision equipment handles a wide range of components with care and accuracy.

A great contract manufacturer does more than produce your product. They help you bring your vision to life with expertise, transparency, and proven systems. At ACRL, we have done this for over 40 years—and we are ready to do it for you.
