Why Dubai Leads the World in Skincare Manufacturing

We turn your beauty vision into a smart, scalable product system—designed to perform, built to stand out.

Strategic Location & Logistics

Positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Dubai provides unmatched access to both emerging and established markets. Its state-of-the-art ports and airports enable the swift import of premium raw materials and the seamless export of finished products. Leveraging Incenta’s local network of trusted logistics partners, you gain streamlined customs clearance, temperature-controlled storage, and reliable last-mile delivery across the MENA region and worldwide.

Robust Regulatory Framework

The UAE’s Ministry of Health & Prevention (MOHAP) and Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) maintain clear, science-based cosmetic guidelines that accelerate product approvals without compromising safety. Incenta’s in-house regulatory team handles every step—from dossier preparation to label compliance and halal certification—so your products meet both local standards and global benchmarks, hassle-free.

Access to Premium Ingredients

Dubai’s free zones house world-class ingredient suppliers, from botanical extract specialists to cutting-edge biotech innovators. Incenta leverages this ecosystem to source everything from sustainably harvested actives to innovative delivery technologies, each backed by full traceability and rigorous quality certifications. The result: formulations that exceed market standards while reflecting your brand’s commitment to sustainability, efficacy, and luxury.

Incenta’s Core Capabilities: From Lab to Launch

A future-ready manufacturing partner for founders who want to build intelligent, high-performing beauty brands—without compromising science, aesthetics, or control.

Private Label Manufacturing with Flexible MOQs

Whether you’re an emerging influencer testing a new serum or an established clinic expanding your portfolio, our flexible minimum order quantities (starting as low as 500 units) let you validate concepts without excessive upfront investment. Incenta’s turnkey private label service includes custom packaging design, labeling, and global logistics support—so you can focus on brand growth, not production headaches.

Custom Formulation & AI-Enhanced R&D

Harness the power of Incenta’s AI-driven formulation engine to accelerate your product development. By analyzing real-world stability and efficacy data, we pinpoint the optimal ingredient blends with unmatched speed, refining them through iterative lab testing. The result: clinically validated, high-performance formulas tailored to your audience.

End-to-End Production & Marketing Support

Incenta isn’t just a contract manufacturer—we’re your co-creative engine. Our project managers oversee production scheduling, quality control, and regulatory filings, while our marketing team develops on-brand product photography, ingredient storytelling, and shelf-ready promotional assets. From press-ready dossiers to social media toolkits, we equip you with the content and collateral to convert leads into loyal customers.

Systems-Driven Skincare Production at Incenta

True innovation isn’t born from guesswork—it’s engineered through a system-driven approach. At Incenta, every phase of our end-to-end workflow is optimized for speed, quality, and transparency.

4.1 R&D & Data-Backed Formulation

We kick off each project with an AI-powered sprint that analyzes stability and efficacy data across thousands of formulas. Within days, our machine-learning models recommend an initial blend—then our chemists refine it through targeted lab tests. This hybrid of human expertise and algorithmic precision delivers clinically validated formulas in record time.

4.2 Sourcing Sustainable, High-Quality Ingredients

Leveraging Dubai’s free-zone ecosystem, we partner with certified suppliers of botanical actives, peptides, and green surfactants. Every raw material comes with a full traceability report—so you can market your products confidently, knowing each ingredient meets both our stringent sustainability criteria and MOHAP/ESMA standards.

4.3 Precision Filling & Brand-Forward Packaging

Our GMP-certified production floor features automated filling lines capable of handling a range of viscosities—from lightweight serums to rich balms—while minimizing waste. We integrate your brand’s bespoke packaging designs (tubes, bottles, jars) and apply tamper-evident seals, QR-coded batch numbers, and full multilingual labeling.

4.4 Rigorous Quality Control

Quality isn’t an afterthought—it’s the final checkpoint before your products ship. Every batch undergoes microbiological, stability, and performance testing. Our digital QC dashboard tracks pass/fail rates in real time, alerting you instantly to any deviations and ensuring that what you sell is exactly what you approved.

Navigating UAE Cosmetic Regulations with Confidence

The intelligence behind modern beauty.

Key Authorities & Registration Process

Your products must be registered with MOHAP and ESMA before they hit shelves. Our regulatory team compiles the necessary Safety Data Sheets, GMP certificates, and product dossiers—then submits them through the Emirates Product Registration Portal on your behalf. Typical approval takes 2–4 weeks.

Halal, Safety & Labeling Requirements

Beyond standard safety tests, many regional markets demand halal certification. Incenta partners with accredited halal auditors to audit your supply chain end-to-end. We also craft labels that meet bilingual (EN + AR) requirements, include ingredient INCI names, batch codes, and any required warning statements.

Global Standards & Export Compliance

If you’re exporting beyond the UAE, we navigate additional regulations (EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009, US FDA Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program, etc.). Our export dossiers include Certificate of Free Sale and Good Manufacturing Practice attestations—so your skincare line can enter new markets without regulatory roadblocks.

A Smart, Sustainable Manufacturing Ecosystem

Skin systems engineered by science.

Green Ingredient Sourcing & Supplier Audits

We prioritize actives from suppliers with regenerative agriculture practices, fair-trade certifications, and ISO-compliant facilities. Quarterly supplier audits verify carbon footprint data, water usage metrics, and ethical labor standards.

Recyclable & Innovative Packaging Solutions

Our design team works with you to select recyclable glass, PCR plastics, or lightweight aluminum tubes—all optimized for minimal material use and maximum shelf impact. We offer water-based inks and compostable secondary cartons to reduce waste.

Energy-Efficient Operations & Waste Reduction

Our factory employs solar-assisted power for up to 30% of its energy needs and reclaims process water for non-product uses. All manufacturing waste is segregated: reusable solids are returned to suppliers; non-hazardous effluent undergoes treatment and recycling; and any residual is converted to bio-fuel.

Cost-Effective Production with Flexible Minimums

Balancing unit economics and risk is crucial—especially for emerging brands. At Incenta, we’ve engineered our systems to offer:

• Low MOQs: Launch with as few as 500 units per SKU, so you can validate concepts without overcommitting capital.
• Tiered Pricing Model: Unit costs decrease as volumes rise, with transparent breakpoints at 1K, 5K, and 10K+ units.
• Cost Breakdown Dashboard: Our online portal gives you real-time visibility into raw-material costs, packaging fees, and labor charges—ensuring no surprise markups.

Whether you’re testing a new face oil or scaling a best-seller serum, Incenta’s pricing architecture puts you in control of margins and growth trajectories.
