We’re excited to announce that Nowchem Pharma and Skincare was featured in the November edition of HPC Magazine by pH Factor as a Manufacturer in Focus. This recognition shines a spotlight on our expertise as a contract manufacturer specialising in the production of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products for clients with ready-to-go formulas.
HPC Magazine offers cutting-edge insights from industry leaders, and we were thrilled to share our experiences navigating the complexities of sunscreen manufacturing—from managing client expectations to dealing with regulatory hurdles.
As a contract manufacturer, we help bring your formulas to life while ensuring strict adherence to regulatory compliance and quality standards. One of the biggest challenges we face is educating clients about the time it takes to source raw materials and customised packaging, which can often cause delays. While many focus on production time, Coralie Passet, our Business Development Manager, points out that packaging and testing can have the biggest impact on timelines.
We’re seeing increasing demand particularly in sunscreen manufacturing for sustainable and natural sunscreen formulations, along with eco-friendly packaging options like biodegradable and refillable designs. With more brands seeking to get products to market quickly, there’s a growing push for private label solutions. While we don’t offer private label sunscreens due to the extensive R&D involved, we understand the need for fast-to-market products and work closely with clients to streamline the manufacturing process.
Formulating sunscreens that meet both safety standards and consumer preferences can be tricky. Dr Felix Meiser, our R&D Chemist, explains how balancing ingredient quality with cost is crucial. International regulations further complicate the process, requiring a deep understanding of local rules and ongoing collaboration with suppliers.
In a rapidly changing regulatory landscape, compliance is key. From ingredient restrictions to new testing protocols, we ensure all our products meet international safety standards. Our Compliance Director, Eliza De Paoli, oversees our Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), ensuring every product is tested and manufactured under controlled conditions to avoid contamination.
As an experienced contract manufacturer and sunscreen manufacturing, we’re committed to delivering high-quality, safe, and innovative products for your brand. We specialise in turning ready-to-go formulations into finished products that meet the highest standards.
