We have a long history of producing and developing coloured cosmetics, fragrances and customised concepts for clients in the Netherlands, Germany and brands worldwide.

Mondial Cosmetics has a broad capability for developing, filling and producing cosmetics in factories in the Netherlands and Poland. We have a solid network of suppliers in Asia and partners for glass, plastics, printing and packaging in Europe.

While this does vary somewhat depending on the formula and product, most minimum run sizes average between 5,000 to 10,000 pieces. Mondial Cosmetics capacity and flexibility easily supports programs ranging from 2,500 pieces up to millions of units.

Lead-times are driven by many things including the lead-times of the specific raw ingredients used to manufacture each formula, the process for the product being created and the size of your order. Mondial Cosmetics dedicated Sales and Customer Service Teams will guide you through the process and provide you with a timeline from initial development to final shipment.

Private label is usually defined as a readily available stock line of products, the advantage being a very small minimum order quantity and the disadvantage being limited opportunity to customize. Mondial Cosmetics is a custom formulator and manufacturer; everything we develop and produce is according to our customers’ exacting requirements. To support your speed-to-market demands, Mondial Cosmetics offers a very comprehensive library of already developed formulas encompassing most product categories. These formulas are spot on with today’s current market trends and Mondial Cosmetics Sales, Product Development and R&D Teams will work closely with you to align your specific product needs with the formulas that best meet those needs.

Mondial Cosmetics provides trend presentations designed to inspire and simplify your creative process, detailing what makes each products performance special, the “science behind the beauty”, key active and benefit ingredients, “free-of” ingredients, options to customize, and package recommendations.

Mondial Cosmetics expertise and focus is on the development and manufacture of the products. Mondial Cosmetics can guide you through the package selection process by recommending reliable packaging suppliers and providing input on what would work best for the production process. We have our own inhouse design studio that pro actively designs custom designs that match your brand values.

Whether you select from Mondial Cosmetics on-trend, comprehensive formula library, request a modification to an existing Mondial Cosmetics formula, or together we enter into a custom development program, the goal of Mondial Cosmetics on-site, experienced and innovative R&D and Product Development Teams is to generate successful products for your brand that are produced for you by Mondial Cosmetics. In most cases, there are not separate fees for formula development. Separate fees may apply if the program is canceled after development has begun, if the development investment exceeds anticipated program volume or if tests for claim substantiation must be made or documentation has to be made for the product. Mondial Cosmetics Sales Team will work with you from the onset to define expectations, deliverables and timing.
