How It Works
From brand vision to the right manufacturer.
Post Your Project
Describe what you're making — category, format, volumes, certifications, and where you want it made.
The Engine Ranks The Network
Your brief is scored against every manufacturer's capability and regulatory record. You get a shortlist back, not a directory.
It Reaches Them As An Opportunity
Ask for an introduction and your project lands in that manufacturer's queue under an anonymous label. Your brand name is not in it.
Names Cross On A Mutual Yes
The manufacturer accepts, you confirm, and only then do the two sides see each other and talk directly.

FAQ's
Everything you need to know.
01/What is The Cosmetic Manufacturer?
A vetted network and matchmaking service that connects beauty brands with US contract cosmetic manufacturers — differentiated by FDA/MoCRA facility data. We help you find the right partner, not just a list of options.
02/How much does it cost?
It's free for brands, permanently. Search, matching, and introductions cost you nothing. Manufacturers pay only when an introduction turns into real production.
03/How do you vet your manufacturing partners?
Every partner is evaluated on regulatory standing (FDA registration, MoCRA, GMP/ISO 22716), quality systems, operational capability, and communication — then re-reviewed on ongoing brand feedback. Inclusion is selective, not paid.
04/What types of products can your network manufacture?
Skincare, haircare, color cosmetics, body and bath, fragrance, and OTC products like sunscreen — across all major categories, at a range of order sizes.
05/Do you work with startups or only established brands?
Both. From first-formula founders to established brands scaling up or switching manufacturers — we match to your stage, category, and target markets.
06/Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Brand-to-manufacturer relationships are private by design — we never publish who makes what. Confidentiality is a core part of the product.
07/How do I get started?
Join the waitlist. When your account opens you post a project — what you're making, in what volumes, to what standards — and the engine returns a ranked shortlist in minutes. You decide who to approach, and nothing reaches a manufacturer until you ask. A free call is there if you want one, but it is not the way in.
