Tube
Eye Cream
A lighter cream in a tube rather than a jar. The format most buyers now choose for a first eye SKU, because it is cheaper to fill and easier to ship.

Skincare OEM / ODM
Eye & Lip Care OEM / ODM Manufacturing
Eye creams, serums and gels alongside lip balms, masks, oils and scrubs — small formats, careful formulation, and the strictest safety briefs in the skincare range.

What we develop in Eye & Lip Care
Eye creams, gels, serums and mists alongside lip balms, masks, oils and scrubs — the smallest formats in skincare and the two with the strictest safety briefs. Low irritation load, fragrance usually omitted in eye care, and packaging tolerance measured in grams on both sides.
Dropper bottle
Eye Serum
Lighter, faster-absorbing bases for daytime use under makeup.

Jar
Eye Repair Cream
A richer jar cream for night use. Any firming or repair claim has to be supported by the formula before it goes on the pack.

Tube
Eye Gel
Water-based and cooling. Lower unit cost than a cream, so it often opens an eye range.
Develop with us →
Spray
Eye Mist
A fine mist for the eye area. Rare in Western ranges and common in Asian ones, so it is usually a market-specific SKU.
Develop with us →
Stick
Everyday Lip Balm
The classic stick format. Low unit cost, and the simplest fill of anything in the category.
Develop with us →
Jar
Lip Mask
A heavier overnight treatment. Usually the richest formula in a lip range.

Dropper bottle
Lip Oil
Glossy, non-sticky oils that sit between skincare and colour cosmetics.

Jar
Lip Scrub
Sugar-based exfoliants, often specified as a two-step pack with a balm.

How we approach Eye & Lip Care
The eye area needs its own safety assessment, and the fragrance and preservative choices that are fine in a body lotion are often not acceptable here. We start from a shorter ingredient list and build up. Lip products sit close to what a customer swallows, so we keep that list short too and avoid the flavour and colour systems that raise questions in the EU.
Both categories are small formats where the container drives the unit cost as much as the formula. A 15 ml tube is our usual recommendation for a first eye SKU, and a stick balm is the cheapest way to test a lip range — many clients launch those two together and use the feedback to shape the rest.
Specification notes
Eye and lip care: the smallest formats, the strictest briefs
Eye care is the least forgiving category we fill. The skin around the eye is thin, the application area sits close to the eye itself, and the format is small enough that a small error in the formula shows up as a texture problem. We keep the emulsion light, avoid high levels of volatile alcohol and fragrance, and test for ocular irritation rather than relying on a general skin-safety panel. Lip care is judged in the first three seconds, on texture and on how the bullet or the applicator feels. Anhydrous balms are the simplest to make and the hardest to differentiate: the difference between a good one and a cheap one is the wax blend and the ratio of occlusive to emollient, not the flavour.
Packaging is where most eye and lip care projects stall. The same eye formula can go into a 15 ml tube, a small jar, a dropper bottle or a mist, and at 1,000 units the container alone can account for a large share of the unit cost; our usual recommendation for a first launch is a 15 ml tube, because it is the cheapest to fill and the format most buyers already expect. A jar earns its place only if the cream is rich enough to be scooped, and if the formula carries retinol or vitamin C an airless pack is worth the extra cost. On the lip side, colour and flavour add compliance work: any colourant has to be permitted for lip use in the destination market, which is a shorter list than for general cosmetics, and flavours containing declarable allergens need a carton statement. If the product carries an SPF, the whole item moves into a different regulatory track in most markets and the timeline roughly doubles.
Formula directions we build to
Eye cream. A lower oil load than a face cream, no fragrance, and a preservative chosen for the thinnest skin on the face. The 15 ml jar is a packaging problem as much as a formula one.
Eye serum. Water-thin, in a rollerball or a dropper. The applicator is often the reason the product exists, so it gets specified before the formula does.
Lip balm. Wax, butter and oil in a stick or a jar. The balance sets the pay-off temperature; too soft and it collapses in a warm warehouse, too hard and it drags.
Lip oil. Gloss without stickiness, which is a thickener problem more than an oil problem.
Lip scrub. Sugar in an anhydrous base. Any water in the base dissolves the sugar, so the whole formula has to stay water-free and the preservative question disappears with it.
