FMK Labs

What FMK Labs does

FMK Labs, now operating as CTK OTC LABORATORIES following its 2025 acquisition by CTK Group, is a US-based contract manufacturer specializing in customized skincare, color cosmetics, suncare, personal care, and over-the-counter (OTC) drug products. The company operates a single manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, California, and serves three primary customer segments: indie beauty brands seeking agile manufacturing partners, established beauty companies expanding capacity or entering the US market, and OTC pharmaceutical companies requiring FDA-registered drug manufacturing. Its core technology is in cosmetics and OTC formulation and manufacturing, with notable capabilities in bespoke skincare formulation, color cosmetics production, and specialized OTC drug products including sunscreens, acne treatments, and functional lotions.

The company generates revenue through two B2B service models. Under its Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) model, it produces finished goods for brands that already own their formulations and designs. Under its Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) model, it provides end-to-end services from formulation through manufacturing. It also derives revenue from direct product sales of its manufactured OTC, skincare, makeup, suncare, and personal care products. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with B2B contract manufacturing norms.

CTK OTC LABORATORIES holds FDA OTC registration and ISO GMP certification, which serve as primary regulatory trust signals for OTC drug manufacturing customers. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTK Group, a diversified conglomerate with global beauty manufacturing expertise, and is positioned to create synergies with CTKCLIP, a related entity within the CTK Group ecosystem, to support indie beauty brands expanding into overseas markets. Its go-to-market is sales-led direct outreach to brand customers, with no public pricing or e-commerce channel.
