Our Scottsdale Facility Is Now an FDA-Registered OTC Manufacturing Site
Allure Beauty Concepts has officially converted its Scottsdale, Arizona facility into a fully OTC-qualified manufacturing site. For beauty, wellness, and oral care brands, that single change unlocks an entire category of products we can now make for you under one roof, from mineral sunscreens to fluoride toothpaste.
Here's what the conversion means, and exactly which products our Scottsdale plant can now produce.
What “OTC-qualified” actually means for your brand
Most beauty contract manufacturers can only make cosmetics — products that beautify but make no therapeutic claim. The moment your product contains an FDA-recognized active ingredient at a monograph-specified concentration, carries a Drug Facts panel, and makes a treatment claim (blocks UV rays, treats acne, controls dandruff, prevents cavities), it is legally an over-the-counter (OTC) drug.
OTC drugs must be manufactured under drug cGMP (21 CFR 211) — a stricter standard than cosmetics-only production. That is why brands with a treatment product need an FDA-registered OTC contract manufacturer, not a cosmetics-only one. As of this conversion, our Scottsdale facility is exactly that: an OTC-qualified, cGMP-compliant private label and contract manufacturing partner.
