When I talk to brand owners in the US, UK, EU, and Australia, they don't ask, "Can Bangladesh make cosmetics?" Instead, they ask, "Which cosmetics manufacturers in Bangladesh are best for your price range, compliance needs, lead time, and product type?"
So I wrote this guide the way I would want to read it if I were sourcing: clear capabilities, what each factory is good at, what they can make (types + claims), what services they usually offer (formula, packaging, certifications), and who they are best for—not just a list of things.
Bangladesh cosmetics manufacturing: what the market is going to do
The beauty and personal care market in Bangladesh is still growing, and local manufacturing is becoming more competitive with imports, especially in the "cosmetics & toiletries" categories (soap, hair care, oral care, deodorants, and basic skin care).
Here are a few numbers that show why more people are thinking about buying from Bangladesh:
- A report on the Bangladesh skin care products market says that the market will be worth about USD 1.68B in 2024 and will grow at a rate of about 5.10% CAGR (2025–2034).
- Independent research also shows that the cosmetics and toiletries industry in Bangladesh is growing quickly because more middle-class people are buying them and local brands are becoming more popular.
What this means for OEM buyers (what I'm seeing):
- More demand for "turnkey" private labels (formula, packaging, and fulfillment), not just filling.
- Proof of sustainability and compliance is more important (factory audits, GMP/ISO documentation, traceability).
- Export ambition is growing—a number of Bangladeshi manufacturers are actively pushing for growth in other countries.
How to make a short list of cosmetics companies in Bangladesh (quick list)
Copy this part of the article if you only want to copy one thing:1) Find a factory that makes the type of product you want (don't start with the "top 10").
- Soaps, detergents, and mass toiletries: you need FMCG systems that can handle a lot of traffic, good quality control, and a steady supply of raw materials.
- Skincare (leave-on): You need microbiological controls, stability testing, a preservative challenge testing approach, and better documentation.2) Before you ask for a quote, ask 10 questions.
- What kinds of things do you make yourself and what do you hire out?
- What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for each SKU and each packaging part?
- Can you make custom formulations, or do you only have standard bases?
- How long does it usually take you to ship samples, the first order, and repeat orders?
- What export markets have you sent goods to, and what papers did you send with them?
- What certifications do you have right now, and can you send us copies that are still valid?
- Do you offer packaging design + sourcing for bottles, tubes, and cartons?
- How do you keep track of your batches from raw materials to bulk to filling to shipping?
- What kinds of stability and micro tests do you do yourself and what do you hire someone else to do?
- Who owns the formula or intellectual property? You or me?
The Best Cosmetics Companies in Bangladesh
1. Remark HB Limited
Remark HB is a modern, fast-growing Bangladeshi manufacturer in the personal care and related categories. They have made visible investments in factory standards and communication with customers abroad.
What makes manufacturing strong (what stands out):
- Public reporting shows off GMP and ISO-certified facilities and halal-certified skincare/cosmetics positioning, which is important for buyers in the MENA region and for "clean-compliance" stories.
- The company also shows that it is actively growing its international sales through trade shows and announcements of export orders.
What they can make (typical range of cosmetics and toiletries):
- Skincare and cosmetics lines aimed at a wide range of customers, from high-end to low-end (the exact SKU range should be checked in their catalog or BDM).
Things you should ask them for (to make sure):
- OEM/private label path, the ability to make custom formulas instead of using ready-made ones, finding packaging, and getting the right paperwork for exporting.
The types of brands that work best for me when I look for similar factories:
- Brands that want to make things in Bangladesh and have a factory story (standards + sustainability) and are okay with checking SKU/category fit during sampling.
2. Square Toiletries Ltd.
Square is one of the most well-known FMCG makers in Bangladesh, and they are very clear about their support for contract manufacturing / OEM / OBM / private label.
What stands out about manufacturing strengths:
- They have a separate page that talks about "private labeling" as a "full turnkey solution" that includes "product development, design, production, and fulfillment."
- Their corporate site shows a wide range of brands and categories, which is usually a sign of mature QA systems and large-scale manufacturing.
What they can make (category logic):
- Think about "high-volume personal care and hygiene," which includes things like hair care, oral care, skin care basics, and hygiene formats. (Check your inquiry for the exact categories.)
Services to ask for (they're probably comfortable here):
- Private label development, coordinating packaging, scaling up production, and (for some buyers) making sure that distribution and export are in sync.
Brand types that fit best:
- Retailers, distributors, and brands that need reliable large-scale production, stable lead times, and a partner that already knows how to handle turnkey OEM flows.
3. Kohinoor Chemical Company (Bangladesh) Limited
A well-known Bangladesh player that has been around for a long time and is best known for everyday items like toiletries and household/personal care products.
Strengths in manufacturing (what makes them stand out):
- A lot of people say they're one of the oldest cosmetics and soap makers in Bangladesh. They make a lot of well-known local brands, like Tibet and Sandalina.
- Their own annual report materials talk about structured quality, hygiene, and environment functions, which are useful for keeping track of things during vendor qualification.
What they usually make:
- Soaps, toiletries, powders, and other items related to oral hygiene, depending on the brand's product line. Check their product pages and ask for an export/OEM lineup to be sure. ([MarketScreener][9])
Services to ask for:
- Ask them directly if they do contract manufacturing/private label or if they mostly make their own brands (many old FMCG companies can do both, but it depends on their capacity strategy).
Types of brands that work best:
- Buyers who want toiletries made in Bangladesh that are cheap, mass-market, and can work within established production systems.
4. Keya Cosmetics Ltd.
A big, well-known Bangladeshi company that makes cosmetics and toiletries and has been in business for a long time.
Strengths in manufacturing (what makes them stand out):
- Their official company page says they were incorporated in 1996, which makes them one of the best manufacturers in Bangladesh. It also talks about their state-of-the-art facilities with European machinery and strict quality control. ([keyagroupbd.com][10])
- The larger group also stresses its international reach through exports (which is helpful if you want to be ready to export). ([keyagroupbd.com][11])
What they usually make:
- Cosmetics and toiletries lines (often soap-based in public view), as well as basic personal care items that are close by—confirm by asking for their product catalog and OEM scope.
Services you can ask for:
- Custom formulations vs. standard formulas, finding packaging, making export documents, and being able to change the minimum order quantity for launches with more than one SKU.
Types of brands that work best:
- Value-to-mid brands, distributors, and private label buyers who need "solid manufacturing scale" and want to create a wide range of everyday personal care products.
5. Tasmia Cosmetics & Toiletries Ltd.
Tasmia is clearly a manufacturer and exporter of cosmetics and toiletries from Bangladesh, and it makes it clear what kinds of products it sells.
Strengths in manufacturing (what makes them stand out):
- They clearly say that they are a "manufacturer and exporter" and that their products are accepted in both the US and abroad. ([tasmiacosmetics.com][12])
- Their product list includes a wide range of useful everyday items, such as henna, dish soap, hand soap, and detergent. ([tasmiacosmetics.com][13])
What they can make:
- Cosmetics and toiletries with a stronger focus on "everyday-use formats" (check which "cosmetics" categories they make in-house and which ones they get from partners). ([tasmiacosmetics.com][13])
Services to ask for:
- Export packing standards, carton specs, shelf-life/stability documentation, and whether they offer private label branding (many exporters do).
Types of brands that fit best:
- Importers/distributors who want Bangladesh-origin export supply in practical toiletry categories and are comfortable working from a defined product menu.
6. Xiran Skin Care (also supports businesses in Bangladesh)
I am adding Xiran Skin Care here because we are not a Bangladeshi factory, but we have sent goods to Bangladesh many times. We can help brands that want to sell their products in Bangladesh but would rather work with a partner that supports broader OEM/ODM skincare development.
What we usually do to help with orders going to Bangladesh:
- Custom formulation / ODM development (texture, actives, and stability strategy)
- Packaging customization (bottle/tube/jar sourcing, artwork, carton specs)
- Regulatory-ready documentation packs (varies by product + route)
- Flexible project management for launches with more than one SKU (hero SKU and supporting line)
Brand types that work best:
- EU/UK/US brands that want more help with skincare research and development, more control over packaging design, and a team that has shipped to Bangladesh before.
What I would do next if I were you
Please tell me your target category (skincare vs. toiletries), your positioning (budget/mid/premium), and your expected MOQ per SKU. I can then make a "shortlist decision matrix" (2–3 best-fit Bangladesh cosmetics manufacturers ) and an email/script you can send to factories to get similar quotes.
