At iHot Cosmetics, we helped an Australian lifestyle beauty brand turn its vision for a hydrating shimmer body oil into a finished product. The client wanted to expand its body care collection with a formula and packaging combination that reflected its distinctive aesthetic.
The project began with reference bottle designs and a request for pricing at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 units. We provided the unit price for a 50ml format at the 1,000-piece tier and confirmed that the minimum order quantity for this project was 1,000 units.
Before proceeding, we checked whether our standard pump bottle would complement the brand’s positioning and expectations for its local market. The client confirmed that the design matched its product vision, allowing us to move into formula development with an agreed packaging direction.
Our development work focused on the client’s preferred sensory profile: hydration, a lightweight feel, a non-greasy finish, and a subtle luminous sheen. We developed formula samples around these requirements and proceeded to bulk production only after full sample approval.
With the formula approved, we finalized production specifications, packaging details, and the delivery schedule. Our team maintained clear communication throughout the process, connecting each development decision with the client’s original brief.
We completed the first bulk order on schedule. Pleased with both the finished product quality and the smooth communication, the client placed repeat orders and expanded our collaboration to include additional body care SKUs.
For us, this project demonstrates how effective OEM/ODM manufacturing starts with alignment: confirming order requirements early, matching packaging to brand identity, and translating a clear product brief into an approved formula. The result was more than a successful launch—it became an ongoing manufacturing partnership.
