Pioneering Cosmetic Science & Contract Manufacturing Excellence
Our Founder, Ida Csiszar, began her distinguished cosmetic chemistry career at Johnson & Johnson shortly after emigrating from Hungary. Following a decade of formulation engineering in New Jersey, she relocated to Southern California to serve as the Senior R&D Chemist at Max Factor in Los Angeles.
Driven by a passionate commitment to color precision and advanced cosmetic formulation, Ida founded Classic Cosmetics Inc. in 1988 in Chatsworth, California. Starting with a focused team of dedicated formulation specialists—many of whom continue to serve with us today—Classic Cosmetics has expanded into one of the most respected Turnkey Private Label OEM/ODM Contract Manufacturers on the US West Coast.
Over 35+ years of steady growth, we have combined high-precision R&D laboratory science with scalable, automated mass-production engineering to serve global beauty conglomerates, fast-growing DTC independent brands, and celebrity beauty lines across international markets.
