What is the minimum order to manufacture cosmetics under my brand?
As a guide: 10 kg for bioactive products, 40 kg for creams and 80 kg for toners. For example, 40 kg of cream is around 800 units of 50 ml. For large runs we have high manufacturing capacity.
Will the formula be exclusive to my brand?
Yes. We commit by contract to full confidentiality and exclusivity for the formulas we develop for you. We never offer them to other brands.
What’s the difference between private label and custom formulation?
With catalogue white label, you choose a standard formula shared with other brands. With custom formulation, the formula is created for you and is exclusive to you. At AFI we work with formulas that belong to each client.
Do you handle product notification?
We give you regulatory and legal support: we provide the formula’s technical information for your Product Information File (PIF) and guide you through CPNP notification and labelling.
Do you work with clients outside Spain?
Yes. We handle projects in English, Spanish, French and Catalan, and take the destination country’s requirements into account from the outset.
