Our Story
35 Years of Building Private Label Cosmetics Manufacturing in the UAE
In 1990, L’Origine set out to do something few companies in the region were doing at the time — build a true private label cosmetics manufacturing operation from the ground up in the UAE, becoming one of the first, if not the first, cosmetics manufacturers to establish operations in the country. More than three decades later, that same mission has grown into a full-service OEM/ODM manufacturer spanning eight countries.
L’Origine is part of a wider group with deep roots in the Middle East’s beauty and personal care industry, giving us both manufacturing expertise and an understanding of the markets we serve. From our Sharjah SAIF Zone headquarters, we’ve stayed close to the fundamentals: formulation, quality, and getting a brand from concept to shelf.
