Specialty Personal Care & Select OTC Contract Manufacturing
Some products fall outside standard skincare, hair care, bath and body, or household categories. Ally Labs supports specialty personal care development and select topical OTC / medical-device products when the formulation, active ingredients, regulatory considerations, packaging, and production needs align with our capabilities. Each specialty or OTC opportunity is reviewed individually before the development and manufacturing path is confirmed.
- cGMP compliant, FDA-registered facility
- 40+ years of formulation expertise
- 183,000 square foot production facility
How Specialty & Select OTC Manufacturing Works
Specialty and OTC projects are evaluated individually because technical, testing, documentation, and regulatory requirements vary by product type. Our team reviews the formula, active ingredients, intended use, packaging, production requirements, and applicable regulatory considerations before confirming the appropriate development and manufacturing path.

OTC and specialty projects are not presented as pre-stabilized base offerings. Depending on project status, the appropriate path may be New Product Development, Tech Transfer, reverse engineering, or project-specific technical review.
Our team reviews your product concept, its regulatory considerations, and its packaging requirements during project scoping, then confirms fit before formulation begins. Custom formulas complete a minimum 90-day stability period before approval. Additional testing or review may be required depending on the formula, packaging, claims, or other project requirements.
Formulation, filling, and packaging run as one connected operation inside our 183,000 square foot facility, backed by more than 40 years of manufacturing experience.

Talk to our teamWhat falls under specialty personal care?
Specialty personal care covers products that sit outside our core skin care, hair care, bath and body, household, and pet care categories. We keep this page general on purpose. Fit here depends almost entirely on the specific product and what you intend to claim about it, and claims are where brands most often arrive with an assumption that turns out to be wrong. Rather than publish a capability list that might not apply to you, we review fit and regulatory considerations case by case, so the first step is a conversation about your actual product. Firm exclusions: no nail products, no traditional hair dye, and no dual-action products that the consumer combines before use.
Do you offer pre-stabilized bases for specialty products?
No, specialty personal care products go through New Product Development instead of Build on a Pre-Stabilized Base. Specialty formats call for a formulation built around your specific product from the start, so these projects move from concept forward with our formulation team.
Where are specialty personal care and select OTC products manufactured?
Approved projects are manufactured at Ally Labs' 183,000-square-foot, cGMP-compliant, FDA-registered facility in Evanston, Wyoming. Specialty and select OTC opportunities are accepted case by case, with product-specific technical, testing, documentation, packaging, and regulatory requirements reviewed before production.
