Frequently Asked Questions
What is OEM skincare manufacturing?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) is when a certified factory manufactures a skincare product to the brand owner’s own formula or specification. The brand owns the formula; the manufacturer provides production capacity, quality systems and compliance.
What is the difference between OEM and private label?
With OEM you supply the formula or specification and we manufacture it exactly. With private label you choose from our proven ready-made formulations and launch them under your brand — faster, but less bespoke.
What are your minimum order quantities?
MOQs depend on the format and formulation complexity. We support pilot runs for market testing and scale to full production volumes — contact us with your brief for an exact figure.
Are you certified for skincare manufacturing?
Yes. ARGE Cosmetics manufactures under GMP with ISO 22716 (cosmetics GMP), ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification.
