Why brands call
Open tube capacity is hard to find. We have it
Tubes are one of the most-requested formats in personal care, and open line time is scarce. We run tube filling in-house across laminate and aluminum for skincare, OTC topicals, SPF, and aftercare, so you're not waiting in someone else's queue.
Bring a formula or start from our library. Either way, formulation and filling happen in the same building, and the product stays consistent batch to batch.
01
Skincare in tubes
Creams, serums, and treatment gels in laminate and aluminum tubes, from travel sizes up.
02
OTC topicals
Lidocaine, menthol, and benzocaine analgesic creams and gels in tubes, monograph-compliant with a Drug Facts panel.
03
SPF & sun care
Mineral and chemical sunscreen in squeeze tubes for face and travel SKUs.
04
Scar & aftercare
Scar gels, tattoo aftercare, and barrier treatments in tubes.
Hot-fill sticks
Hot-fill sticks, poured and set in-house
A specialty format
SPF sticks, lip balm, and treatment sticks
Hot-fill formulas are poured molten and cooled to a consistent set, with no sink marks or pull-away at the edge. Getting that right takes real process control, and it's a format we run every week: SPF sticks, lip balms, face and cleansing balms, and analgesic sticks.
It also pairs with our sun-care and OTC work. A continuous-spray SPF, an SPF lotion, and an SPF stick can all come from the same manufacturer.
01
Sun & SPF sticks
High-SPF mineral and tinted sticks for face and spot application.
02
Lip balm
Treatment and tinted lip balms, medicated and cosmetic, in standard and custom stick sizes.
03
Face & treatment sticks
Solid-format moisturizers, cleansing balms, and treatment sticks.
04
Analgesic & balm sticks
Menthol and camphor balm sticks and solid topicals, poured hot and set to a consistent finish.
