About Butter-C
Our story PHARMACISTS who make COSMETICS.
Expertise·Passion·Responsibility
We began as pharmacists, trained at institutions built on tradition and rigour — Hanoi University of Pharmacy and Vietnam Military Medical University among them. Years spent in core roles across research and development, production and quality assurance at large pharmaceutical plants gave us practical experience and the habit of working to a standard.
Tempered by an industry where precision is not negotiable, we had the conviction to begin the Butter-C story — pharmacists making cosmetics.
Moving from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics changed nothing about the values we hold. At the Butter-C plant you will still find strict manufacturing standards in place: a fully integrated line, polished stainless-steel contact surfaces, cleanrooms with grey-white panel walls and green epoxy floors. And people who follow every procedure to the letter, in proper medical protective wear.
If pharmaceuticals taught us precision and discipline, cosmetics brought the softness of a texture, the play of colour and the pleasure on a customer's face. That combination keeps our love of the craft alight, and turns each working day into something we care about.
Beyond love of the craft lies responsibility, and we feel its weight. The health and beauty of the people who use our products is how Butter-C measures success.
Every product passes through a closed loop: formulation, stability testing, production, quality control. Behind each one sits a full quality-control system and a transparent Product Information File (PIF). Traceability from raw material to finished product is our commitment — so partners, distributors and consumers can buy with confidence.
A promise to walk alongside you

With you every step of the way
Whether you need a formula, a production batch or a whole brand built from scratch — we can join at any point along the way.

Formula development
Our pharmacists develop formulas to your brief, assessing the safety and stability of the actives before production. The R&D sample is then scaled up to commercial batches while keeping the approved sensory profile.

Manufacturing
The factory runs on a one-way flow principle and holds the required licenses for each product line. Every batch is tested at a GLP / ISO 17025-accredited laboratory and delivered with a certificate of analysis, ensuring consistency between production runs.

Dossier & packaging
Butter-C prepares the Product Information File (PIF) and the notification dossier, together with label design, printing and packing. This work runs in parallel with formulation, so nothing waits and your product reaches the market sooner.
Manufacturing process
Eight steps, three milestones
Our technologies
Four technology pillars.
Butter-C builds formulas on four technology platforms. You can choose the platform that fits your product positioning and target customers.
Nanotech Liposome
Liposomes are microscopic spherical vesicles with a phospholipid bilayer, a structure similar to cell membranes. They are among the most widely used carrier systems in cosmetics, helping actives stay more stable in the product and reach the skin more readily than in conventional formulations.
Delivering actives to the outer skin layer
The aim is to help actives reach and remain in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin and the scope of a cosmetic; performance is assessed on the formula itself.
Keeps actives more stable
The enclosing membrane helps limit breakdown and loss of actives during storage and use.
Carries both kinds of actives
The aqueous core holds water-soluble actives and the lipid membrane holds oil-soluble ones, which makes it easier to combine several actives in one formula.
Bio-fermentation
Fermented ingredients include ferment filtrates and lysates of inactivated microorganisms (close to the postbiotic concept), as well as substrates for skin microorganisms (prebiotics). They are often used in microbiome-friendly formulas that help moisturize and support the skin barrier.
Microbiome-friendly
Prebiotics are substrates for skin microorganisms; postbiotics are preparations of inactivated microorganisms. Water-based cosmetics need a preservative system, so keeping live microorganisms (probiotics) in a product is a major challenge.
Supports the skin barrier
In a suitable moisturizing base, the product keeps skin hydrated and less rough-feeling; claims are based on testing of the finished product itself.
Controlled raw materials
Ferment filtrates blend easily into everyday toners, essences and moisturizers; suppliers must provide strain information, the filtration process and a microbiological COA for every batch.
Bio-peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids; many cosmetic peptides are designed to mimic signal peptide fragments naturally found in skin. They are common in serums, emulsions, moisturizers and eye creams for skin showing wrinkles.
Smoother-looking skin
In a suitable moisturizing base, a peptide product helps the skin surface look smoother and feel softer.
Improves the look of fine lines
Claims stay at cosmetic level: helps improve the look of fine lines and helps skin look smoother and firmer, based on testing of the finished product itself.
Claims that match the evidence
Data on peptides and collagen come mainly from cell and ex vivo skin studies; Butter-C states this clearly and does not borrow figures from other studies for your product.
Micellar
Micellar molecules have an oil-loving core and a water-loving shell, acting like microscopic spheres that lift dirt, excess oil and makeup from the skin surface. It is a cleansing solution for formulas aimed at sensitive, easily irritated skin.
Cleanses while keeping balance
Removes dirt, excess oil and makeup without stripping the skin's natural moisture.
Gentle on sensitive skin
No hard rubbing needed, limiting redness and stinging after cleansing.
Skin ready for what comes next
A clean, balanced surface helps the following care steps work effectively.
