How Men’s Skincare Products Are Made: Inside Our OEM/ODM Manufacturing Process
Men’s skincare has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the beauty industry. Behind every cleanser, serum, beard oil, or moisturizer is a professional production process that ensures safety, performance, and consistency. As a certified OEM/ODM manufacturer specializing in men’s grooming products, our factory follows strict global standards—from ingredient sourcing to final packaging.
Today, we take you behind the scenes to show how men’s skincare products are professionally produced.
1. Understanding Men’s Skin Needs Before Production
Before we start formulation, our R&D team studies the specific characteristics of men’s skin:
-
Thicker epidermis
-
Higher sebum production
-
Larger pores
-
Daily shaving that causes irritation
-
Need for lightweight, non-greasy textures
This analysis helps our chemists create formulas that offer deeper cleansing, oil control, stronger soothing effects, and better absorption—especially important for beard care and after-shave recovery.
2. Step One: Formula Development (R&D)
Inside our laboratory, every men’s skincare product begins with a customized formula based on the brand’s concept and target market.
✔ What our R&D team provides:
-
Custom texture development (gel, lotion, cream, serum)
-
Oil-control formulas for men
-
Active ingredients like Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C
-
Unique fragrances suitable for male consumers
-
Vegan, natural, or clean-beauty formulas
Each formula goes through stability testing, compatibility testing, and safety evaluation before entering the production line.
3. Step Two: Raw Material Quality Control
Raw materials are inspected before entering the warehouse.
QC procedures include:
-
Appearance and purity inspection
-
Microbiological testing
-
Certificate of Analysis verification
-
Supplier qualification review
Only materials that meet international cosmetic standards (EU/US/ISO) are approved for batching.
4. Step Three: Mixing & Emulsification
This is where the formula comes to life.
Inside our GMP-certified production workshop, the raw ingredients are mixed in large vacuum emulsifying tanks or stainless-steel reactors.
Key features:
-
Vacuum system removes air bubbles for smooth texture
-
Temperature-controlled heating/cooling
-
High-shear mixing ensures stability
-
Digital monitoring for precision
This process forms the base of men’s cleansers, shaving creams, beard products, serums, and moisturizers.
5. Step Four: Filling & Packaging Line
Once the bulk material passes internal QC checks, it moves to the filling line.
We support:
-
Tubes (cleanser, cream)
-
Pump bottles (serum, lotion)
-
Glass bottles (beard oil)
-
Jars (moisturizer)
-
Travel-size packaging
Automated machines help ensure consistent filling volume and hygiene, while visual inspection ensures no air bubbles, leaks, or defects.
6. Step Five: Final Quality Control Before Shipment
Every batch goes through rigorous testing before it is approved for delivery.
Our QC includes:
-
Microbial testing
-
pH testing
-
Viscosity measurement
-
Appearance inspection
-
Packaging printing check
-
Stability test for temperature/humidity
For clients targeting EU/US markets, we also assist with documentation such as MSDS, COA, CPSR, labeling compliance, and export requirements.
