Semi-Custom Hair Care Manufacturing

An efficient middle ground between ready-made private label and fully custom formulation. Customize proven hair care formulas without the cost and development time of a fully custom formulation.

What is Semi-Custom

Semi-custom hair care manufacturing gives brands more flexibility than standard private labeling without the cost and development time of a fully custom formulation. Starting with one of our market-tested hair care formulas, you can customize selected product characteristics such as color, fragrance, texture, viscosity, and specific ingredients while maintaining the proven foundation of the original formula.

It is an ideal solution for brands that want a more distinctive product without developing a formula entirely from scratch.
