How We Helped a Startup Launch a Vegan Skincare Line in 6 Months
At Divo, we pride ourselves on being more than just a skincare contract manufacturer. We are partners in innovation, helping brands bring their visions to life. One of our most exciting collaborations to date was assisting a startup in launching a 100% vegan skincare line in just six months. Here’s how we made it happen and how our expertise can help your brand achieve similar success.
Understanding the Vision
The journey began when a passionate startup approached us with a clear mission: to create a high-quality, cruelty-free, and vegan skincare line that aligned with their values of sustainability and ethical consumerism. They had a vision but needed a partner with the technical expertise, resources, and industry knowledge to turn their ideas into reality.
As a trusted skincare manufacturer, we knew this project required a seamless blend of innovation, efficiency, and attention to detail. Here’s how we approached it:
Step 1: Formulation Development
The first step was to develop formulations that met the startup’s vegan and eco-friendly requirements. Our team of experienced chemists and formulators worked closely with the client to select plant-based ingredients, ensuring each product was free from animal-derived components and harsh chemicals.
We prioritized clean, sustainable ingredients that delivered visible results while adhering to global vegan certification standards. Our in-house R&D capabilities allowed us to create unique, high-performance formulas tailored to the brand’s target audience.
Step 2: Sourcing Sustainable Ingredients
Sustainability was a core value for the startup, so we sourced ingredients from ethical suppliers who shared their commitment to the environment. From organic oils to biodegradable packaging materials, every component was carefully selected to minimize the brand’s ecological footprint.
Our established network of trusted suppliers enabled us to secure high-quality ingredients quickly, ensuring the project stayed on track.
Step 3: Streamlined Production
With formulations finalized and ingredients sourced, we moved to the production phase. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is equipped to handle small to large-scale production runs, making it ideal for startups looking to launch without compromising on quality.
We implemented strict quality control measures at every stage, ensuring each product met the highest standards of safety, efficacy, and consistency.
Step 4: Packaging and Branding Support
A great product deserves great packaging. We collaborated with the startup to design packaging that reflected their brand identity while staying true to their eco-conscious ethos. Our team provided guidance on materials, labeling, and compliance with industry regulations.
From minimalist glass bottles to recyclable tubes, we helped create packaging that was both functional and visually appealing.
Step 5: Meeting the 6-Month Deadline
Launching a skincare line in six months is no small feat, but our streamlined processes and dedicated team made it possible. By leveraging our expertise and resources, we ensured the startup’s products were market-ready within the tight timeline.
The Result: A Successful Launch
The vegan skincare line launched to rave reviews, with customers praising its effectiveness, ethical values, and beautiful packaging. The startup quickly gained a loyal following and secured placements in several retail stores.
