The company was founded to fill the gap in the market for a cosmetics contract manufacturer that focuses on quality and clean ingredients. It quickly earned the trust of major brands in the beauty industry, who rely on them to safely manufacture products that meet the needs of millions of consumers. It has also succeeded in cultivating indie brands to grow from their nascent stage to successful M&A models.
While Cosmetix West started out as a fine fragrance company, it has since shifted its focus to liquid personal care, with expertise in the formulation, development, production, and packaging of skincare, haircare, and hygiene products.
Today, the company supports clients of all sizes, from independent small beauty brands to the largest ones in the world. Its flexibility and agility enable it to accommodate clients’ specific needs, including fine fragrance filling to hot pours for any quantity from 6 to 20,000 pounds.
Cosmetix West emphasizes responsibly sourced ingredients, sustainability, label transparency, and adherence to stringent compliance standards. It keeps track of the ever-evolving audits and regulations in the cosmetics space to ensure clients comply with the industry-accepted clean beauty standards.
Cosmetix West is part of the ANJAC Group, which creates and manufactures Health care and Beauty solutions both in Europe and North America. It allows robust support to drive the company growth as well as sharing Best Practices like easy and quick securing of the hard-to-procure raw materials to remain unaffected by supply chain delays. It can leverage the benefits of better and ample resources, innovative insights, and global opportunities and grow with clients. Whether a supplier or client, the company focuses on creating meaningful connections and lifelong partnerships. Cosmetix West and ANJAC Group have ambitious plans to continue the fast and long-term development of the companies.

Cosmetix West is committed to going above and beyond to cut down lead times for successful and on-time launches. This includes expediting raw materials, overtime in production and opening multiple lines and shifts. In addition, its flexibility allows it to accommodate quick growth. With the rise in social media, the company has been able to maintain an influx of orders on short notice.
Also, as the demand for label transparency increases, regulatory requirements evolve and become stricter each year. Since most of its clients maintain a global consumer base, retailing in overseas countries like China, Japan, and the EU, Cosmetix West’s team stays up to date and closely follows the regulatory changes to stay prepared for clients’ needs.
A leader in clean beauty space, Cosmetix West is strategically located in El Segundo, California, a few minutes from the port of L.A., which gives it easy accessibility to Asia for procuring components and packaging material. The company has significantly grown over the last few years and obtained EcoVadis Silver certification. It continues to take more initiatives to stay the West Coast’s finest environmentally responsible beauty and personal-care contract manufacturers.
