'Human-Grade' Skincare for Pets. Belle-Coeur Laboratory, a Cosmetics OEM with a 33-Year History, Launches Pet Care Product OEM Available from a Minimum Lot of 10 Units

Belle-Coeur Laboratory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sapporo City, Hokkaido), which has been engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of cosmetics for over 30 years, has responded to the market need to provide pets, who are precious family members, with care equivalent to human standards. We have fully launched an OEM contract manufacturing service for pet care products, pouring in our expertise gained from developing human cosmetics.

The greatest feature is our flexible manufacturing system starting from a 'minimum lot of 10 units' at our own factory. Furthermore, we have specialized staff with basic knowledge in the field of veterinary medicine. Through formulation designs based on animal skin physiology that consider the skin pH and thickness specific to animals, even individual salons and startup companies can develop authentic original brands.

[Market Background Shifting from 'Consumables' to 'Wellness'] As the pet care market shifts from simply choosing consumables to 'wellness' emphasizing health and beauty, what owners demand is 'the same sense of security and functionality as the cosmetics they use themselves.' Belle-Coeur Laboratory aims to create products that are truly gentle on pet skin by applying the manufacturing and development technologies for skincare and haircare products accumulated over 30 years at our own factory in Hokkaido.

[Specialized Staff with Basic Veterinary Knowledge on Board] Professionals in cosmetics development and formulators educated in the veterinary field collaborate to design the formulations. Rather than product creation driven by image alone, we select amino acid-based cleansing ingredients and natural oils based on animal skin physiology, proposing products that combine high functionality with gentleness on the skin.

[How '10 Units' Can Change Brand Building in the Pet Industry] In conventional OEM, inventory risks of hundreds to thousands of units were a major barrier. At our company, leveraging the strength of direct management of our own factory, we can handle orders starting from a 'minimum lot of 10 units' (*). We strongly support diversifying business models, such as Private Brand (PB) creation at small grooming salons and the development of niche products tailored to specific concerns. *The minimum lot size may vary depending on the product type. Please contact us for details.

[Examples of Supported Products] We can accommodate a wide range of products including shampoos, treatments, paw creams, skincare lotions, and moisturizing creams. Please feel free to contact us first.
