About Labtree
Labtree GmbH is a B2B cosmetic developer and manufacturer based in Hamburg. The company develops market-ready formulations for make-up, skincare and haircare and produces the finished product in its own facility – from concept development through sampling (standard samples in 24 hours) and prototyping to series production. Offerings include white-label and private-label production, contract manufacturing and contract filling from a minimum quantity of 1,000 units. In its own laboratory, small batches from 100 g are formulated; scaling is carried out via pilot batches of 10 to 20 kg into the production vessel, using industrial high-shear emulsification with shear rates of 5,000 to 15,000 1/s. In addition, Labtree provides regulatory support including safety assessment, PIF creation and CPNP notification as well as stability testing. According to the company, its references include the scaling of a skincare line for dm within three months.

Active ingredients and processes
Peptides
Active ingredients including for lash serums and care concepts with a defined mode of action.
PDRN
Trend ingredient whose sourcing and formulation are examined with regard to stability and manufacturability.
Niacinamide
Active ingredient for skincare formulations with pH control and stability assessment.
Salicylic acid
BHA active ingredient for peeling products; solubility, pH window and packaging compatibility are addressed at the formulation level.
Hyaluronic acid
Active ingredient for moisturizing care and soothing textures.
Biotin, panthenol, aloe vera, ectoin
Care active ingredients for comfort and protection complexes in skincare and lash products.
Pigments and film formers
Basis of decorative cosmetics with stable pigment dispersion and reproducible shade across batches.
Emulsifiers, thickeners, surfactants, plant extracts
Raw material basis for emulsions, aqueous systems and haircare, selected for batch consistency in series volumes.
Polyethylene (packaging material, including recyclate)
Packaging material whose recyclate use is examined in consideration of PPWR requirements.
Polyolefins (packaging material)
Packaging material for mono-material and refill concepts with compatibility testing against the formulation.
