A few years ago, I supported a brand that had big hopes for their first eyeshadow line. They ordered from a supplier that claimed to match Morphe’s quality.
But what arrived was far from it. The formula didn’t blend, the packaging looked cheap, and the customer reviews reflected that.
Since then, I’ve worked closely with brands to avoid these early mistakes. I’ve built a list of manufacturers that have actually proven themselves, through testing and real production runs.
You’re here because you want a supplier that can deliver Morphe-level results.
In this article, I’ll give you seven solid names, explain what each one does best, and help you decide who to contact next.
By the end, you’ll have a clear path forward confidence to choose a manufacturer that works for your brand.
Let’s dive in!

Here’s a side-by-side view of all 7 manufacturers. Consider this your cheat sheet before we explore each partner more fully below.
| Manufacturer | Location | Established | Specialty Highlights | Ideal For | Key Considerations |
| New Laboratories | Gold Coast, Australia | 2017 | Clean beauty, transparent business, eco packaging | Brands wanting modern Aussie compliance & boutique R&D | Not suited for ultra-mass scale or rock-bottom costs |
| Cosmetic Lab | New York, USA | 1991 | FDA/OTC compliance, turnkey large-scale production | Brands needing methodical, timeline-driven execution | Less hand-holding on creative concept development |

| Rangecolor | Guangzhou, China | N/A | Custom color cosmetics, accurate shade delivery | Brands with precise shade & texture needs | Brands must lead creative direction clearly |
| Leecosmetic | Guangzhou, China | 2014 | Everyday makeup, low MOQs, quick sampling | New brands testing small lines affordably | Not aimed at prestige textures or ultra-premium |
| Jiali Cosmetics | China | 2001 | Hybrid palettes, custom finishes like duochrome | Brands mixing powders, creams & special effects | Quiet on brand strategy, focused on production only |
| DM Cosmetics | Ahmedabad, India | 2012 | Personal care, Ayurvedic blends, flexible tweaks | Brands refining scents, textures on classic SKUs | More functional lines, less on luxury or breakthrough |
With this comparison in mind, let’s move into each individual profile to explore strengths, services, and real experience
1. New Laboratories
Location: Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
Established Date: 2017
Newlabs is a modern Australian cosmetic contract manufacturer that specializes in clean beauty formulations. They work with established brands and new businesses to develop skincare, haircare, and body care lines. From what I’ve gathered, they’ve built a reputation for strict compliance with Australian manufacturing standards and a fresh approach to clean formulations.
What I’ve seen is they’re not the trendiest. But they are stable, responsive, and clear in what they can deliver. If you want a U.S. partner that knows the beauty space and handles private label well, they’re a reliable choice.
Product Lineup
- Facial Creams & Moisturizers
- Serums & Treatments
- Body Lotions & Washes
- Haircare (Shampoos & Conditioners)
- Specialty Skin Treatments (Masks, Exfoliants)
Special Services
- OEM: Offers tailored formulation development to bring new product concepts to life, including ingredient sourcing and lab validation.
- Private Label: Stocks a portfolio of tested, market-ready formulas for brands to label under their own names for faster go-to-market.
- Regulatory Compliance: Provides thorough support to meet TGA and other Australian cosmetic regulations, including documentation.
- Small Batch Runs: Suitable for smaller brands wanting to test the market without committing to massive volumes.
- Sustainability Support: Helps brands develop eco-friendly products with recyclable packaging options and clean ingredient decks.
Takeaway Note
Newlabs is ideal for brands looking for an Australian partner focused on clean beauty, modern formulations, and transparent business practices. Their hands-on R&D and regulatory knowledge stand out, especially for newcomers needing guidance through local compliance.
However, if your priority is ultra-large-scale mass production or rock-bottom costs, you might find their boutique, quality-driven approach better suited to mid-size or premium positioning.
2. Cosmetic Lab
Location: Ronkonkoma, New York, USA
Established Date: 1991
Cosmetic Lab Inc. strikes me as a manufacturer that values direct, professional communication. They pair brands with dedicated project managers, so even startups have a clear point of contact. From what I’ve seen, they’re patient in walking clients through regulatory steps and paperwork, a major plus if your team isn’t experienced with FDA or OTC standards.
They’re more about methodical execution than creative hand-holding, but if your brand needs a dependable partner who keeps timelines tight and expectations realistic, they’re easy to work with.
Product Lineup
- Facial Creams & Serums
- Body Scrubs & Lotions
- Shampoos & Conditioners
- Hair Treatments & Oils
- Bath & Shower Gels
Special Services
- Private Label: Lets brands choose from a library of stable, tested formulas to quickly launch new lines.
- Custom Formulation: In-house chemists work on entirely new products tailored to a brand’s target claims and textures.
- Microbiology & Stability Testing: Ensures safety, shelf life, and claim support before products reach market.
- Turnkey Packaging: Sources, designs, and fills packaging under one project manager to streamline coordination.
- Regulatory Assistance: Helps with ingredient listings, FDA registrations, and international documentation for export.
Takeaway Note
Cosmetic Lab is a strong choice for brands wanting a U.S.-based, vertically integrated manufacturer that manages both compliance and large-scale production well. Their systems help keep complex projects on track.
But if your brand leans heavily on small-batch, ultra-natural, or artisanal claims, this type of operation might feel too conventional or industrial for your positioning.
3. TY Cosmetics
Location: 3rd Floor, One View Building, Yunchengdong Road No.563, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, China
Established Date: 1999
TY Cosmetic is one of those manufacturers that feels like more than a factory. They’ve got multiple facilities, in-house R&D, and flexible production routes that stretch beyond China. They’re especially helpful for skincare brands that need speed, clarity, and options. Whether it’s a cleanser, scrub, or sunscreen, TY offers thousands of base formulas you can work from and they’re used to helping brands launch fast.
Their team has over 300 employees, including a specialized in-house R&D lab with over 20 cosmetic chemists. That matters because it shortens the product development cycle and makes custom formulation tweaks much easier compared to factories that rely on third-party labs.
Product Lineup
- Facial Cleansers
- Vitamin-Enriched Creams
- Exfoliating Body Scrubs
- Sunscreen Sprays and Sticks
- Salon-Grade Hair Masks
Special Services
- Multi-Country Price Matching: Provides cost comparisons across their partnered factories in China, Korea, and Indonesia to help brands choose based on budget and market positioning.
- Shelf-Life Extension Guidance: Advises on preservative systems and packaging materials that can improve product shelf life without sacrificing clean label standards.
- Startup Launch Kits: Offers bundled packages that include formula + packaging + compliance checklist for brands launching their first product line.
- Pre-Launch Sample Packs: Provides small-batch samples (2–3 variations per SKU) for internal team testing or focus group feedback.
- Trade Show Ready Support: Helps prepare visual samples and print materials for brands attending expos or investor meetings, especially helpful for DTC founders needing presentation support.
Takeaway Note
TY Cosmetic is an ideal fit if you’re looking for a flexible, multi-category manufacturer with speed and practical support. I’ve watched early-stage brands go from idea to shelf-ready products in months with help from TY’s existing formulas and responsive team.
4. Rangecolor Cosmetics
Location: Guangzhou, China
Established Date: N/A
Rangecolor Cosmetics isn’t just a lab that fills pans and tubes. When I worked with them on a project two years ago, what stood out was how much control they gave the brand. The founder I supported wanted a cool-toned matte eyeshadow line with shades that didn’t oxidize. Rangecolor didn’t just say yes, they reformulated twice until the payoff stayed true on different skin tones. That kind of back-and-forth takes effort.
They focus heavily on color cosmetics. If your brand wants palettes, lip colors, or pressed powders that don’t feel cheap or patchy, Rangecolor has the equipment and lab talent to make it happen. They’re used to working with detailed briefs and brand-specific standards.
Product Lineup
- Pressed Eyeshadows
- Velvet-Matte Lipsticks
- Multichrome Pigments
- Gradient Blush Compacts
- Custom Highlighter Formulas
Special Services
- Shade Development Support: Rangecolor works closely with brands to create custom shades based on photos, swatches, or Pantone codes.
- Texture Sampling: Offers texture trials like mousse, baked, powder-to-cream, or jelly finishes to test before full production.
- Custom Compact Molding: Brands can develop their own mold designs for blush or highlighter pans to create unique product visuals.
- Small Batch Test Runs: Allows brands to run pilot production for market testing before placing large orders.
- Global Labeling Guidance: Helps align packaging and label content with country-specific import rules and ingredient disclosures.
Takeaway Note
Rangecolor is a great pick if you care about shade accuracy, texture variety, and product consistency. But if you’re hoping for creative direction or trend forecasting, this isn’t the partner for that. They expect you to know what you want. If you come in prepared, they’ll execute beautifully. If not, the process might feel overwhelming.
5. Leecosmetic
Location: Guangzhou, China
Established Date: 2014
Leecosmetic is the kind of factory that knows how to keep things simple and flexible. They specialize in helping brands bring everyday makeup products to life without overwhelming complexity. What I like most is how they’ve built up a wide variety of cosmetic categories from lip to eye to face and they’ve done it with a clear focus on low cost and fast production.
They also offer plenty of small pan eyeshadow formats, which is great for brands working on curated collections or mini kits.
Product Lineup
- Tinted Lip Oils
- Dewy Liquid Highlighters
- Compact Concealer Sticks
- 9-Pan Mini Eyeshadow Palettes
- Waterproof Gel Liners
Special Services
- Low MOQ Private Label: Accepts small-batch orders starting around 100–300 units per shade, ideal for new brands.
- Component Sourcing Assistance: Helps locate affordable tubes, compacts, and bottles from third-party packaging vendors.
- Quick Sampling Turnaround: Offers 7–10 day turnaround for most sample types, helping brands test fast.
- In-House Photography: Provides basic product photos on request for online use or mockups.
- Shade Library Access: Brands can choose from a preset catalog of tested shades for faster launches.
Takeaway Note
Leecosmetic is perfect if you’re launching a small collection and don’t want to commit to massive inventory. I had a first-time founder client who launched their full line, lip oils, concealers, and liners all under one roof here, without breaking the bank. The process was smooth, and they hit every promised date.
But if you’re aiming for ultra-refined packaging or long-wear performance on par with prestige brands, Leecosmetic might fall short. Their focus is on speed, affordability, and simplicity, not innovation or premium textures.
6. Jiali Cosmetics
Location: China
Established Date: 2001
Jiali Cosmetics is one of those manufacturers that keeps things behind the scenes. You won’t find flashy branding or aggressive marketing from them but they’ve quietly produced for many mid-range makeup brands.
They’re versatile in production. You can work with them on palettes, liners, and even cream formulas. What sets them apart is their comfort with mixing textures in a single project. For example, a palette that includes matte, shimmer, and cream shades. This type of hybrid setup can be tough to find at lower cost, but Jiali handles it well.
Product Lineup
- Multi-Finish Face Palettes
- Cream-to-Powder Highlighters
- Precision Liquid Eyeliners
- Bold-Color Gel Eyeshadows
- Glitter-Infused Setting Sprays
Special Services
- Hybrid Formula Development: Supports mixing powder, cream, and shimmer formulas into one palette or collection.
- Long-Wear Testing Support: Offers internal stability and wear tests to help improve product longevity.
- Custom Glitter Suspension: Can help suspend glitter safely in liquids like setting sprays or glosses.
- In-Mold Packaging Options: Produces pressed patterns or logos directly into powder surfaces.
- Custom Color Effects: Helps brands achieve multi-tone effects like duochrome or holographic pigment shifts.
Takeaway Note
Jiali is ideal for brands that want to experiment with texture and finishes without jumping to high-end labs. But if you’re looking for tons of hand-holding, especially on the branding side, you might find them quiet. They’re production-focused, not strategy-driven.
7. DM Cosmetics
Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Established Date: 2012
DM Cosmetics comes across as approachable and straightforward. From my experience, their team doesn’t overcomplicate things if you send them a mood board or ingredient wishlist, they’ll quickly tell you what’s doable within your budget. They’re also quite patient, offering several rounds of small tweaks on scent or thickness without pushing hard sales tactics.
This makes them a strong fit for brands that are still refining their product vision and are very open about tweaking fragrances, colors, and textures to suit local or export preferences.
Product Lineup
- Body Lotions & Creams
- Shampoos & Conditioners
- Face Washes & Cleansers
- Hair Oils & Serums
- Bath Gels & Scrubs
Special Services
- Private Label: Lets brands choose from existing formulations for faster launches, covering a wide personal care range.
- Custom Formulation: Works with brands to create new formulas, especially tailoring color, scent, and viscosity.
- Ayurvedic Options: Offers traditional Indian herbal blends for brands interested in tapping natural or Ayurvedic positioning.
- Small to Medium MOQs: Suitable for startups or regional players testing new lines without big upfront orders.
- Regulatory Support: Guides on local compliance, labeling, and can assist in prepping basic export documentation.
Takeaway Note
DM Cosmetics is a solid pick if you’re building a personal care line with classic SKUs and need a cooperative partner willing to adjust formulations and handle modest production runs. But if your brand’s story hinges on cutting-edge actives or ultra-premium claims, their offerings may feel more functional than groundbreaking.
