Cosmetix West - Where clean beauty begins
I founded Cosmetix West after a professional lifetime in the beauty industry trying to find suppliers who did business the way I would’ve done it if I had run their companies. As it turned out, suppliers who were prepared to meet my standards didn’t exist, which of course presented me with a golden opportunity. There was a hole in the market for a cosmetics contract manufacturer willing and able to focus obsessively on quality and clean, safe ingredients as the prime directive. Not only was I willing to do that; I couldn’t—and can’t—do business any other way.
“Clean Beauty” is today’s term for what we have been doing at Cosmetix West from the beginning. Our entire beauty platform is built around using the most natural, efficacious ingredients found throughout the world. We adhere to the industry accepted clean beauty “no,no” list, editing out all ingredients that could be construed to be unhealthy. This path is not always easy but it is the most rewarding.
Anyone who has ever worked in manufacturing understands that the unforeseen is always to be expected. What separates Cosmetix West from the pack is how well we deal with those challenges and implement solutions that best serve our customers.
What’s most important to all of us at Cosmetix West is that our customers have at least one part of their supply chain that they never have to worry about coming through for them.
Scientifically, Cosmetix West has the most creative and exacting chemists anywhere. Our product innovation team scrupulously ensure that our formulas are adhered to down to the last molecule; and that the production process yields 100 percent consistency from batch to batch to batch.
Anything less than perfection is unacceptable. Whether we’re replicating tech-transfers or devising groundbreaking new formulas, our job is to do what we do, better than anyone else could do it.
Our growth has transformed our business. In 2017, we expanded our manufacturing capacity when we opened our current production facility in El Segundo, California. At 30,000-plus square feet, we doubled our footprint allowing us to enlarge our formulation lab, as well as our compounding and filling operations. Now, only two years later, we will open our newest and most sophisticated plant yet in Torrance, California. The additional 35,000 square feet will again double our production operations, allowing for more production lines and new capabilities. Complemented by a new 50,000 square foot warehouse, Cosmetix West is arguably the one of the country’s finest cosmetic contract manufacturers.
Cosmetix West is happily located in Southern California, which is not only a principal hub for the beauty industry, but also increasingly important for its proximity to the Pacific Rim. With most Asian-sourced components entering this country at the Port of Los Angeles, located just a couple of miles from us, we’re perfectly positioned in the global supply chain to do what we do best while also cutting costs for our customers across the country.
Literally everything at Cosmetix West comes back to our goal of absolute excellence. So, even as we continue to expand our lines and capabilities, we never forget that our success has been built on living up to our reputation for quality in every aspect of our business. And that, I can promise you, will never change.
Cosmetix West’s mission is to create the industry’s most efficacious products by utilizing the cleanest, most natural ingredients available. To surpass our clients’ highest expectations every single day by providing concierge-level customer service, perfection-level formulation and quality control, obsessive concern for their satisfaction and success, and devotion to on-time order deliveries.
I founded Cosmetix West after a professional lifetime in the beauty industry trying to find suppliers who did business the way I would’ve done it if I had run their companies.
As it turned out, suppliers capable of meeting my standards didn’t exist. But that presented me with a golden opportunity. There was, I realized, a hole in the market for a cosmetics contract manufacturer willing and able to focus obsessively on quality as the prime directive.
Not only was I willing to do that. I couldn’t—and can’t—do business any other way. So from day one, Cosmetix West filled that hole perfectly. And it still does.
Quality is what sets Cosmetix West apart: Quality formulation. Quality products. Quality control. Quality process. Quality personnel.
Our first products were fragrances, gels, and body lotions for a large retail chain. The quality of the work spoke for itself, and soon other established labels either moved their business to Cosmetix West or decided to get into the business with us as their suppliers. Eventually we began formulating and manufacturing an array of products second to none, with an additional expertise in parfums, colognes, and scents.
The concierge-level of service we provide explains why Cosmetix West quickly became one of the West Coast’s largest fragrance and personal-care contract manufacturers.
Our motto is Good enough isn’t. Cosmetix West is the place where there's no such thing as “good enough” and no one will ever utter those words. What’s most important to all of us is that our customers have at least one part of their supply chain that they never have to worry about coming through for them.
In 2010, we opened our second manufacturing facility in El Segundo, California. At 20,000-plus square feet, the new production floor offers twice the space of the original plant. It allowed us to enlarge our formulation lab, as well as our compounding and filling operations.
TurboFil equipped the facility with custom equipment that tripled our liquid-filling capacity, while all automatic lines benefited from in-line crimp and capping capabilities and state-of-the-art Videojet batch coders. Several automatic Marden Edwards cello wrap lines enable us to fill and ship the world’s most exclusive designer fragrances.
Even as we continue to expand our lines and products, we recognize that our success has been built on living up to our reputation for quality in every aspect of our business. That will never change. So as impressive as our history is, I’m confident that our future is even brighter. –Ron Chavers, CEO
