If you’ve ever dreamed of launching a skincare brand, a face serum is the perfect product to start with — it’s trendy, effective, and fits any beauty concept, from clean skincare to luxury anti-aging.
At DLAB Custom Cosmetics, we make it easy for entrepreneurs and creators to build their own skincare lines with low minimum orders, custom formulations, and support from concept to launch.
Here’s how you can create your own face serum step-by-step 👇
Step 1: Define Your Brand Concept
Before you jump into formulation, define your brand’s identity:
-
What kind of skincare brand do you want to build? (clean, luxury, vegan, clinical?)
-
Who is your target audience? (Gen Z, men’s care, minimalist skincare lovers?)
-
What problem will your serum solve? (hydration, anti-aging, glow, brightening, acne care?)
Having clarity here helps our cosmetics laboratory translate your vision into a high-performance product that truly stands out.
Step 2: Choose Your Serum Base and Actives
At DLAB, you can choose between ready-tested serum bases or request a custom formulation.
Some of our most popular options include:
| Type | Example Ingredients | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrating Serum | Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Panthenol | Dry or dehydrated skin |
| Brightening Serum | Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Licorice Extract | Dull or uneven tone |
| Anti-aging Serum | Peptides, Retinol, Collagen | Mature skin |
| Soothing Serum | Aloe Vera, Centella Asiatica, Green Tea | Sensitive skin |
| Glow Serum | Mica, Vitamin E, Botanical Oils | Youthful, radiant effect |
💡 DLAB Tip: You can also add fragrance or keep it fragrance-free. Our NIO (Núcleo de Inteligência Olfativa) team helps you choose the perfect scent direction.

Step 3: Design Your Packaging
Your packaging tells your story before the customer even tries your product.
You can:
-
Select from our catalogue of bottles and droppers, available in glass or PET.
-
Personalize with your logo, color, and finish (matte, glossy, frosted, gold, silver).
-
Add custom labels and boxes to match your brand identity.
We’ll guide you with mockups and design recommendations so everything looks premium and cohesive.

Step 4: Approve and Launch 🚀
Once your serum and packaging are approved, production begins in our European cosmetics laboratory, compliant with EU regulations (EC 1223/2009).
Your face serum is then filled, labeled, and shipped directly to you — ready to launch online or in stores.
