Sports cosmetics already made
An ally for your sports cosmetics line
Are you interested in developing a sports cosmetics project? Would you like to expand your catalog with products designed for athlete care? Do you already distribute your own brand and seek innovation and distinctive quality? We invite you to explore new opportunities that bring greater safety, innovation, and profitability to your business.
Recommendations from our CEO:
- Find a TEAM of PEOPLE with whom you feel a connection and trust to develop your cosmetic project.
- Choose a laboratory and factory that already have experience in marketing their own cosmetic products. This will provide you with greater confidence.
- Consider the potential to scale your cosmetic project. Don’t just stop at the first production—think long-term.
- Opt for a laboratory with a clear focus on R&D and innovation, offering premium formulas and staying aligned with current trends such as biotechnological, effective, vegan, sustainable, and natural cosmetics.
- Check the quality certifications, at a minimum: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 22716 (GMP), or IFS).
- It is advisable to visit the facilities of the laboratory and factory of your future partner.
- Ensure that the laboratory has its own regulatory department for proper product registration and internationalization.

FAQS
How long does a private label cosmetics or hair cosmetics project take?
Production lead time is 10 weeks from the final design approval, provided the project is developed using in-stock packaging. These 10 weeks include label procurement, cosmetic manufacturing, filling, quality controls, and microbiological testing. For projects requiring out-of-stock packaging or components, the lead time may vary and should be confirmed in advance. Approximately 90% of projects are developed using in-stock packaging.
Can Valquer manage the registration of my cosmetic product on behalf of third parties?
Yes. Valquer Laboratorios manages the registrations in its own name and acts as the responsible person before the competent European authorities. This way, the client does not have to assume the technical and regulatory management of the cosmetic product in Europe.
What is the minimum quantity to manufacture private label cosmetics?
There is no mandatory minimum production quantity. However, based on our experience and competitiveness, we are usually especially attractive for orders starting from 1,000 units per reference.
Do you work on turnkey private label cosmetics projects?
Yes. Approximately 90% of projects are developed on a turnkey or full-service basis. We handle the purchase of materials and raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, quality controls, registration, and support through to commercialization. The remaining 10% corresponds to projects in which the client provides some packaging or raw material.
What packaging options do you offer for private label cosmetics?
We offer a wide variety of packaging, caps, dispensers, jars, and bottles, both in stock and through approved suppliers we work with regularly. This allows us to adapt each cosmetic project to the needs of the product, the channel, and the brand.
Can you help with the design and labeling of the cosmetic product?
Yes. We support the client in managing the design process (not the creative part), providing legal texts, iconography, barcodes, and technical review of the final artwork. In addition, we review the designs to ensure they comply with current European regulations.
Do you work with natural ingredients in your cosmetic developments?
Yes. We aim for each formulation to incorporate a high percentage of natural ingredients, always prioritizing proven efficacy, formula stability, and product safety.
How do you guarantee the quality of raw materials and cosmetic manufacturing?
We work with approved suppliers from all five continents, audited by our Quality teams. In addition, we maintain control and traceability of everything requested, received, and produced, to ensure consistency, safety, and quality in every project.
What certifications does Valquer Laboratorios have as a cosmetics manufacturer?
Valquer holds internationally recognized certifications, including IFS, ISO 22716, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Halal, and EcoVadis. This foundation reinforces the reliability of its third-party cosmetic manufacturing and private label services.
Does Valquer manufacture cosmetic products for pets?
Yes. Valquer Laboratorios is registered in the Register of Manufacturers of Zoosanitary Products under number HCM-MUZ-10054. In addition, since April 4, 2025, the registration of HCM-MUZ products and their respective holder companies is no longer mandatory.
