Contract manufacturers and packaging suppliers, organized by region and function (source).
Initial research
Manufacturer capabilities, MOQs, and pricing are from public websites and trade press. Brazilian B2B manufacturers rarely publish transparent pricing — quote requests by phone or WhatsApp are the norm. Confirm before shortlisting.
Contract manufacturers — Rio Grande do Sul
Healthy cluster in the Novo Hamburgo / Porto Alegre / Serra Gaúcha corridor.

Contract manufacturers — Sergipe / Bahia
Smaller manufacturing base. Most contract producers are in SP or RS.
- SEBRAE-BA / SEBRAE-SE maintain directories of local certified manufacturers — call or email the state office
- Dermavita — national reach
- Made For You Cosméticos — national reach
- Alternative: SP or RS manufacturer + Northeast logistics partner for storage / fulfillment
Northeast supplier landscape
Local SE/BA manufacturer relationships are not widely published online. If region of origin is brand-relevant or shipping cost matters, contact SEBRAE-BA’s industrial directory directly. Trade-off: less choice and potentially higher per-unit cost at small volumes vs. an SP partner.

Vetting checklist

- Batch QC in-house (microbiological + physical-chemical) — not outsourced
- Responsável Técnico (RT) on staff
- Stability-testing capability for new formulas
- MOQ and lead time confirmation in writing
- ANVISA notification handling: do they do it, or do you?
- Reference clients (especially smaller indie brands at your stage)
For staged commitments and cost reference see manufacturing.
