The manufacturing plant your brand doesn't have
Flex Group S.r.l. specialises in the contract manufacturing of high-technology cosmetics, with tailored solutions for brands that look for quality, flexibility and innovation. Flex Industry is the division that does it: the registered office is in Rome, the plant is in Palermo.
Our laboratory develops modern formulations, selecting high-quality raw materials and advanced cosmetic technologies, with particular attention to plant-derived exosomes, biomimetic peptides, polynucleotides, hyaluronic acid and other innovative actives, in full compliance with European cosmetics legislation.
We follow every stage of the project: from research and development to formulation, from manufacturing to packaging.

What we make
Cosmetic formulations, in the formats your product needs
We work on formulations that clients bring already defined, and on formulations we develop ourselves from an idea. In both cases the scope is cosmetic: appearance of the skin, hydration, surface protection, cleansing.

Your name on the jar
The product leaves the plant under your brand, not ours. Label, cap and finish are chosen together: we put in the formula and the factory, the name on the jar is yours.
Cosmetic technologies
The actives we build formulations around
These are the families of actives we work with most often. We list them for what they are — raw materials and formulation systems — not for what they promise: effects are discussed project by project, with the documents at hand.
Exosome technology
Plant-derived exosomes
Polynucleotides
New-generation cosmetic formulations
Biomimetic peptides
Peptides selected for professional formulations
Hyaluronic technology
Different molecular weights and formulation systems
Contract manufacturing
Five steps, from the brief to the pallet
Every project follows the same route. Timings and volumes change; the method does not.
-
Brief and feasibility
You describe the product you have in mind: intended use, format, volumes, timing. We assess technical feasibility and tell you what can be done and what cannot.
-
Formula development
We develop the formulation to your specification, or build it ourselves, choosing the right raw materials and cosmetic technologies.
-
Sampling
We hand over samples and work through the changes until the formula is the one you want to take to market.
-
Manufacturing
From 100 to 100,000 units per batch. The pilot batch and full-scale production follow the same standard.
-
Packaging and delivery
Filling, sealing, labelling and packing of the finished product, ready for your logistics.
Production capacity
From 100 to 100,000 units per batch
The minimum batch is 100 units: small enough to test a line without tying up stock. Maximum capacity reaches 100,000 units, for when the line works and needs restocking. It is the same factory in both cases — you do not have to change supplier as you grow.
Regulatory & Compliance
From the formula to placing on the market
We support you in managing the regulatory process and in preparing the documentation required. For anyone bringing a brand to market this is the heaviest part: the formula gets refined and the documentation has to be built alongside it.
Formulations are developed in full compliance with European cosmetics legislation, and manufacturing is entirely Made in Italy.
- PIF
- CPNP
- Patch test
- Challenge test
- Stability test
- Efficacy test
We commission and follow up patch tests and efficacy studies ourselves, working with external laboratories, university ones included.
If you need the detail of what we take care of and what stays with your company, ask us: we will put it in writing before we start.
R&D
The laboratory
The laboratory is where every project starts. You choose the raw material, build the formula, prepare the sample and remake it until it is right.
We work with new-generation actives — plant-derived exosomes, polynucleotides, biomimetic peptides, hyaluronic acid — and with formulations clients bring already written, which then have to be scaled up.

Tell us about your project
The more detail you give us on format, volumes and timing, the more precise our answer will be. If you already have a formula, bring it: we will assess it as it stands.
