Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between OEM and ODM in cosmetics?
With OEM (original equipment manufacturing) you bring your own formula and the factory produces it. With ODM (original design manufacturing) the factory provides ready-developed or customised formulations you can brand. Most US manufacturers above offer both, plus turnkey packaging.
Which US manufacturers are best for small or indie brands?
Cosmetic Solutions, Lady Burd and Innacos are known for lower minimum order quantities and stock or semi-custom formulations, which suits first-time and small-batch founders. Larger players like Voyant Beauty and Mana Products generally favour bigger production runs.
Are US cosmetic manufacturers FDA compliant?
Reputable US contract manufacturers operate under FDA cosmetic and OTC drug regulations and follow cGMP (often ISO 22716) standards. Always confirm current certifications, testing and documentation directly with each manufacturer before engaging.
