Cosmetic Formulation and Manufacturing, Questions Answered

Most brands start by defining the product and customer, then partnering with a manufacturer who can formulate and produce it. At Ausmetix you can arrive with only an idea. We develop the formula in our Melbourne laboratory, support the required testing and compliance, and manufacture the finished product in our GMP accredited facility — so you can focus on branding and sales.
