About Labwork, an Australian cosmetic manufacturer helping beauty brands with hair, skin and body formulations

powered by nature

Backed by
Science

Everyone claims natural or clean but not everyone can make a formula that's better for you, your skin and the planet — without compromising product performance or budgets. Too often we see hero ingredients added at trace levels: enough to appear on the label, but not enough to make a meaningful difference. We don't do that, and we're proud to say so

Trusted

Clinically tested ingredients

Low MOQs

Enough to test the market

Our lab

We’ve been in your shoes before — you’ve got an idea that you’re passionate about, one that keeps you awake at night, where you imagine the possibility. But when it comes time to make it real, you hit barriers and roadblocks. We're here to make life easier, from ideation to market.

You'll work with our R&D lead and chemist to develop your brief. We'll then benchmark what works, design the structure, and select ingredients for your prototype. Actives are set at effective levels — never just for a label claim. Each version is checked for feel and performance

We stress-test ideas early through our feasibility check and sensible ingredient choices. We look at stability, map the evidence against your claims and outline risks and opportunities. You'll be prepared for compliance and regulatory needs before manufacturing starts

Before production starts, we'll do extensive QA and pilot runs to make sure every batch matches lab results. We'll keep your product and documentation consistent — no shortcuts or surprises

We'll help source and design your packaging, including your labels. We can also help fill to your desired pack size and handle coding and kitting, or work with your suppliers to make your product shelf-ready

We've launched many brands ourselves, we can guide your brand strategy and positioning so you're ready to go-to-market
