What OEM does

OEM, operating as LABESP (Laboratorio Español de Investigación Cosmetológica, SLU), is a Spanish private-label cosmetics manufacturer founded in 2012 and headquartered in Alcoy, Valencia. The company provides end-to-end GMP-compliant contract manufacturing services for brand owners across roughly 40 countries, spanning formulation, R&D, manufacturing, filling, packaging, regulatory assessment, and design. Its proprietary SAFE 22716 protocol exceeds the UNE EN ISO 22716:2007 Good Manufacturing Practices standard and adds cosmeto-vigilance measures, and its facility is certified for ACENE Bio/Natural/Vegan, ISO 22716, and EU Regulation 1223/2009 compliance.

The company operates four manufacturing tiers: Stock Line (ready-to-use, minimum 1 unit), Choice Line (1,000-unit minimum with label/screen printing and minor formula modifications), Bulk Line (50 kg minimum in plastic barrels), and A La Carte (100 kg minimum with full custom formulation). It targets six primary B2B segments — beauty salons, dermatological clinics, pharmacies, online stores, ecological stores, and gyms/fitness centers — with >90% of revenue derived from international markets. Core product capabilities include facial care lines, professional chemical peels, alginate masks, hair serums, sun protection, and a "world's biggest" visual-effects (FX) cosmetics range. Sub-brands such as SkinsRestaurant, Deo27, Larimedical, and Beltranex were developed internally, and the company is described as a third-generation family business with 35 years of export heritage.

Revenue mechanics are project-based manufacturing rather than subscription or license; the customer sets a target price and LABESP proposes formulations to fit, which aligns incentives for repeat, scalable orders. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales supplemented by international trade missions, digital fairs, and awards-led PR. The company is privately held by founder-CEO Mauricio Sanchis and pharmaceutical co-founder Sonsoles Albert, with no disclosed institutional equity — growth has been funded through retained earnings and small regional innovation/internationalization grants from Generalitat Valenciana.
