When people think of European cosmetics, Russia isn't usually the first country that comes to mind. But over the past decade, a quiet transformation has been underway. Russian cosmetics manufacturers are blending science, natural ingredients, and flexible production models, making them a true choice for private label brands looking to stand out. From full-service laboratories to boutique factories, this article lists ten Russian cosmetics factories offering contract manufacturing services for a wide range of cosmetics and beauty products.
In recent years, cosmetics in Russia have been doing more than just holding steady — they’re growing. According to IMARC Group, the Russian cosmetics market (excluding just hygiene or basic personal care) was about USD 3.12 billion in 2024 and is expected to climb to around USD 4.31 billion by 2033, at a CAGR near 3.5%.
Meanwhile, the wider beauty & personal care market — which includes skincare, haircare, makeup, fragrances etc. — was valued at about USD 10.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2033, growing at roughly 4.90% per year.
Here is our list of the top ten most trustworthy Russian cosmetics companies, based on our actual research:

Librederm is a well-known name in the Russian cosmetics market. The company started out making skincare products for pharmacies and has since grown into a large manufacturer that makes both branded and private label products. Their formulas are based on a lot of dermatological research and use ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen, and vitamins.
Librederm offers full-cycle manufacturing for brands, which includes coming up with ideas, making the products, packaging them, and getting them certified. Their modern factories meet European GMP standards, which is good for partners who want to sell in both the CIS and EU markets.

GSS Cosmetics positions itself as a full-service cosmetic manufacturer in Russia that blends European technology with Russian innovation. They offer an extensive portfolio including facial creams, serums, shampoos, and hygiene products.

They are particularly strong in natural shampoos, creams, and eco-body care products. Siberina appeals to brands that value sustainability, authenticity, and a “made in nature” story.
Brocard has been in the Russian beauty business for a long time. It is known as both a store and a factory that makes cosmetics for other companies. Their main focus is on bath products, skincare, and perfumes.
Brocard's creative formulation team and access to high-quality European ingredients are what set it apart for B2B customers. Their factory can handle production runs of medium and large sizes, and they can help with branding strategy, following the rules, and making custom fragrances. Established brands that want to grow in Russia or Eastern Europe often choose Brocard.
Kosmo-Lab is a company that makes high-quality skincare, anti-aging, and cosmeceutical products in a lab. They are one of the most advanced Russian cosmetic companies when it comes to making high-performance products because they focus on science.
Private label clients can expect to work together on research and development, testing for stability, and designing packaging that fits their needs. Kosmo-Lab also helps with dermatological testing and gives you the paperwork you need to sell in other countries. This is the kind of partner that gets results, not just a lot of production, if your brand wants a clinical, high-end edge.
People know STM Cosmetics, or STM for short, for its flexible way of making things. They work with both big distributors and small indie brands. The company's catalogue includes hygiene products, skincare products, and decorative cosmetics.
Customers like that STM is open to making changes. You can choose from existing base formulas, change textures, add active ingredients, and even choose from eco-friendly packaging materials. Their minimum order quantities (MOQs) are flexible, and they communicate in a clear way, which is great for new businesses trying out new product ideas.
As the name suggests, Contract-Cosmetica is a contract manufacturing company that helps brands make cosmetics from scratch. They make formulas, test them, label them, and package them all according to GMP-certified standards.

Agnex is a full-cycle cosmetics factory that makes both personal care and household products. They've been in business for more than 20 years and have built a strong presence in the US and a growing export base.
Their private label services include coming up with new formulas, finding raw materials, and making custom packaging. Agnex works closely with clients to make sure that the idea for the product, the price, and the packaging design all fit the needs of the target audience. They can handle both small pilot runs and large-scale manufacturing equally well because they can change how they make things.
Despite the steady growth of Russia's domestic contract cosmetics manufacturers, many local brands—and even international ones—continue to look toward China. Why is this?
The reasons lie in robust R&D capabilities, cost-effectiveness, and flexible production systems that accommodate both small-batch trial runs and large-scale manufacturing.
Unlike some Russian cosmetics factories that impose minimum order quantity restrictions and face limitations in raw material procurement, Chinese manufacturers offer broader formulation customization services, sustainable packaging solutions, and shorter delivery cycles. Coupled with China's advanced supply chain systems for skincare and haircare ingredients, brands can often develop high-quality products more easily and within tighter timelines.
