ODM Service · Formula to Shelf

Develop the Product
With You.

You bring the concept. Our professional beauty engineers bring the formulation expertise, testing protocols, and manufacturing readiness to turn your vision into a finished product.

From initial brief interpretation to production handover, CHOICEODM works alongside you at every stage -- so you never have to navigate formula development, sample evaluation, or compliance alone.

What You Can Bring to the Brief

No complete spec sheet required. Our engineers will help you fill the gaps.

  • Product Concept

    A description, mood board, or reference image of what you want to create.

  • Reference Samples

    Existing products you like -- texture, finish, or performance benchmarks.

  • Target Market

    Region, consumer profile, and any regulatory requirements (EU, US, Halal, etc.).

  • Texture & Efficacy Preferences

    Long-wear, lightweight, moisturising, botanical -- tell us what matters most.

  • Target Price Range

    Helps our engineers align formula complexity with your cost structure.

  • Packaging Direction

    Tube, stick, pot, pump -- or let us suggest compatible options.

From Brief to Production

A structured, collaborative process designed to move efficiently from concept to a production-ready formula -- with clear checkpoints and engineer support throughout.

Discuss Your Product Idea

Engineering Behind Every Stage

Our professional beauty engineers are involved at every development stage -- not just in the lab, but in communication, evaluation, and production preparation.

Brief Interpretation

Our engineers translate your brief -- however detailed or rough -- into actionable formula parameters. We ask the right questions to ensure the development direction is aligned from day one.

  • Concept-to-spec translation
  • Market & regulatory alignment
  • Cost-feasibility review

Formula Development

Formulated in our in-house laboratory, starting from purified water preparation through ingredient selection and stability verification. Supports clean beauty, preservative-free, botanical, and long-wear approaches.

  • Botanical & active ingredient integration
  • Stability & compatibility testing
  • Halal & ISO 22716 compliant

Sample Evaluation

Each sample is evaluated internally for texture, colour accuracy, application feel, and stability before it reaches you. We provide structured feedback sheets to guide your review.

  • Sensory & application assessment
  • Colour & finish verification
  • Structured client feedback process

Formula Refinement

Feedback from your testing is reviewed by the same engineers who developed the formula. Adjustments are made with precision -- not passed to a different team -- ensuring continuity and faster iterations.

  • Engineer-led iteration cycles
  • Documented change tracking
  • Clear approval milestones

Production Handover

Once the formula and packaging are confirmed, our team prepares the full production dossier -- including batch records, material specifications, and compliance documentation -- before entering the GMP production line.

  • Full production documentation
  • GMP-compliant manufacturing
  • MSDS & export compliance ready

Safety From the Start

Product safety at CHOICEODM begins before a single ingredient is weighed. Purified water preparation, raw material testing, and microbiological controls are established before formula production begins -- not after.

Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often from brands starting their first ODM project.

What does the client need to provide to start development?

You do not need a complete technical specification. A product concept, reference sample or description, target market, and general performance preferences are enough to begin. Our engineers will guide you through the brief process and ask the questions needed to build a complete development direction. The more context you can provide, the faster we can align.

How is a sample confirmed and approved?

Once the initial sample is prepared and passes our internal evaluation, it is shipped to you with a structured feedback sheet. You test the sample and return your comments -- on texture, colour, scent, application, or any other parameters. A sample fee is required before samples are dispatched. Approval is confirmed in writing before production begins.

How are formula changes and revisions handled?

Revisions are handled by the same engineers who developed the original formula, ensuring continuity. Each revision round is documented with change notes so you can track what has been adjusted. The number of revision rounds and any associated costs will be outlined in your development agreement. We aim to resolve most feedback within two to three rounds.

When does the product move into full production?

Production begins after three conditions are met: the formula sample is approved in writing, the packaging is confirmed and compatibility-tested, and the production order deposit is received. Our team prepares the full production dossier -- batch records, material specs, and compliance documents -- before the order enters the GMP manufacturing line. MOQ starts at 6,000 units per SKU.

Can I develop a product if I do not have packaging selected yet?

Yes. Formula development and packaging selection can proceed in parallel. Our team can suggest compatible packaging options based on the formula type and your brand direction. Packaging confirmation is required before production, but it does not need to be finalised at the brief stage. We can assist with sourcing if needed.

What certifications apply to ODM products?

All products manufactured at CHOICEODM are produced under ISO 22716 and GMPC standards. Halal certification is available. MSDS documentation is prepared as standard for export. If your target market requires specific compliance documentation -- such as CPNP for the EU -- please raise this at the brief stage so it can be factored into the development process.
