Hera Beauty's contract manufacturing service encompasses the full production workflow for client-supplied formulations: raw material procurement and goods-in inspection, batch manufacture to specification, filling, packaging, labelling, QC release, and outbound logistics. The service is intended for clients with a formulation that has already been developed and tested - Hera Beauty's role is to manufacture that formulation at commercial scale to the client's quality and specification requirements.

Yes. If you hold a validated formulation with a completed technical data package, Hera Beauty's team will review it for process compatibility with the facility's equipment and manufacturing parameters. Where the formulation is compatible, a manufacturing specification will be established and production can be scheduled. Where process adaptation is required, this will be discussed with your technical team before production commences.

Confidentiality is treated as a fundamental requirement of the contract manufacturing relationship. Hera Beauty handles all projects in confidence as standard, and Non-Disclosure

Agreements are available and routinely executed at the client's request. Formulation data, production records, and client identity are not disclosed to third parties.

Hera Beauty's Peterborough manufacturing facility is GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified, operating in compliance with ISO 22716 - the internationally recognised standard for cosmetics GMP.

This certification underpins all production activities regardless of whether the project is a client-supplied formulation or an in-house development. Full quality documentation, including batch manufacturing records, is maintained for all production runs.

Hera Beauty's in-house technical, QC, and regulatory team ensures that all manufacturing activities are compliant with UK Cosmetics Regulation (retained from EU Regulation EC No 1223/2009) and EU Regulation where applicable.

For contract manufacturing clients, the team can advise on UK SCPN and EU CPNP notification requirements, labelling compliance, and product specifications as required.

The facility's production infrastructure - with vessels from 5L to 1,000L and filling lines capable of producing in excess of 20,000 units per day - accommodates contract manufacturing requirements from volume trials through to full commercial scale.

Both start-up brands and multinational organisations with established production programmes are within scope.

Hera Beauty specialises in natural skincare, cosmetics, and personal care formulations, including emulsions, gels, washes, oils, serums, balms, and wax-based products.

The facility is equipped with jacketed emulsification vessels, a vacuum vessel for complex formulations, wax melters and hot-fill equipment, and tube-filling capability.

If you are uncertain whether your formulation type falls within scope, the technical team will assess compatibility upon receipt of the product data sheet.

Each contract manufacturing client is assigned a dedicated account manager who oversees the project from initial brief and specification review through to delivery of finished product.

This account manager coordinates across Hera Beauty's technical, production, QC, and logistics teams on your behalf, providing regular progress updates and flagging any supply chain or scheduling developments that may affect your programme.

Standard batch documentation includes the batch manufacturing record, in-process and finished product QC results, certificate of conformity, and goods-in inspection records for raw materials.

Additional documentation requirements - including specific analytical certificates, traceability records, or third-party audit documentation - can be discussed and agreed at project initiation.

Yes. Contract manufacturing relationships at Hera Beauty are structured to support both one-time production runs and ongoing repeat programmes.

For clients with predictable volume requirements, production scheduling can be agreed on a forward-planning basis to support supply chain continuity and raw material lead-time management.
