La Mediterranee

What La Mediterranee does

La Mediterranee is a privately held Italian contract cosmetics manufacturer (laboratorio dermocosmetico conto terzi) founded in 2011 and headquartered in Taranto, Italy, with both a legal seat (Via Cesare Battisti) and an operational production facility (Viale Unità d'Italia). The company provides end-to-end B2B services to cosmetic brands and entrepreneurs across Europe, spanning custom formulation development, small-batch production (minimum 6 pieces), bulk manufacturing, large-scale industrial production, fill-and-pack operations, regulatory compliance consulting under EU Regulation 1223/2009 (PIF, CPNP), and strategic marketing consulting. The reported customer base exceeds 300 clients.

The laboratory's technical platform centers on cosmetic formulation capabilities including O/W and W/O emulsions, gel and oleolite preparations, and trichological products, supported by variable-capacity mixers ranging from 50 to 1,000 kg. Filling and packaging operations use modern tube fillers, bottle and jar fillers, labelers, cartoners, in-house label printing systems, and inkjet marking for traceability. Differentiation is anchored in plant-based functional ingredient research and biotechnology-driven actives (peptides, advanced hyaluronic acid, cosmetic probiotics), validated by ICEA and NATRUE certifications for natural and organic cosmetics.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, per-batch manufacturing fees for private label and exclusive formulation clients, complemented by fee-for-service R&D, regulatory consulting, and strategic marketing engagements. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, relying on direct contact (phone and email), the company website, LinkedIn, and Facebook — there are no consumer-facing channels or e-commerce operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and order volumes span from 6-piece entrepreneur runs to industrial-scale manufacturing.
