GMP Certified Personal Care Manufacturer in India

Vaishnavi Gramodyog is a GMP certified personal care manufacturer: the unit holds a GMP certificate issued under Schedule M, operates to ISO 22716:2007 cosmetic good manufacturing practice, and manufactures under an AYUSH manufacturing licence. Those three documents — not a logo on a website — are what a buyer should verify before issuing a purchase order.

Manufacturer overview

Who manufactures, where, and on what terms

GMP under Schedule M is a facility standard, not a product claim. It governs how a manufacturing unit is laid out and run: segregated production and storage areas, water systems, documented cleaning, trained personnel, calibrated equipment and a batch record for every lot. Our unit at Buranwala, Baddi, Himachal Pradesh 174103, India is licensed and inspected on that basis.

For a personal care buyer this matters commercially, not just legally. A GMP certified unit can reproduce the batch you approved, trace every raw material back to a supplier lot, and hand you the paperwork a distributor, marketplace or importer will ask for. Production runs at 100 kg – 1,000 kg per SKU with a lead time of 15–20 days working days, and a pilot can be placed at 100 pieces per SKU before you commit volume.

Before a PO, ask any shortlisted manufacturer for the licence copies and a sample batch dossier — and read them. A current GMP certificate names the facility address and the product categories it covers; an ISO 22716 certificate names the certifying body and expiry; an AYUSH licence names the licensed Ayurvedic formulations. Our current copies are on the certifications page.

Product forms

What we manufacture in this category

Facility licensing

Site-specific GMP certification under Schedule M, plus the AYUSH manufacturing licence covering Ayurvedic formulations produced at the unit.

Batch documentation

A Batch Manufacturing Record per lot recording inputs, process steps, in-process checks and yields, retained and retrievable.

In-process quality control

Defined checkpoints during manufacture — pH, viscosity, appearance, fill weight — recorded against specification, not checked only at the end.

Raw material traceability

Incoming materials logged against supplier lot numbers with COAs on file, so a finished batch can be traced back to its inputs.

Personnel hygiene protocols

Gowning, handwash discipline, restricted access to production areas and documented training for staff handling product.

Equipment validation

Cleaning and changeover procedures with calibration records for weighing, mixing and filling equipment.

Ready-to-relabel formulations are listed on the view certifications.

Manufacturing considerations

What buyers should settle before a first batch

Ask for the GMP licence copy

Check that the address on the certificate is the facility that will actually make your product, and that your product category is covered.

Ask for the ISO 22716 certificate

Confirm the certifying body, scope and validity dates — an expired certificate is a common finding in supplier audits.

Ask for the AYUSH licence

Required where the product is positioned as Ayurvedic or herbal; the licence lists the formulations permitted at the unit.

Ask for a sample COA, MSDS and BMR

A redacted sample dossier from a past batch shows what you will actually receive, and whether records are maintained or reconstructed.

Ask about batch traceability

A supplier should be able to state how far back a finished lot can be traced and how long records are retained.

Ask about facility audit access

Establish upfront whether the unit accepts buyer or third-party audits, and how much notice is needed.

Buyer FAQ

What does GMP Schedule M actually mean?

+

Schedule M of India's Drugs and Cosmetics Rules sets the good manufacturing practice requirements for a manufacturing facility: premises and layout, water and hygiene, equipment, trained personnel, documented procedures and batch records. A GMP certificate is issued to a specific licensed facility for specific product categories — it certifies how the unit operates, not an individual product.

What is the difference between GMP and ISO 22716?

+

GMP under Schedule M is a statutory Indian licensing requirement enforced by the state licensing authority. ISO 22716:2007 is a voluntary international standard specifically for cosmetics good manufacturing practice, certified by an external body and commonly asked for by export buyers and retail chains. They overlap heavily but are not interchangeable — our unit holds both.

Do you allow buyers to audit the facility?

+

Yes. Buyer and third-party audits of the Baddi unit can be arranged with advance notice. Where an on-site visit is not practical, we share licence copies, standard operating procedure summaries and a redacted sample batch dossier for desk review.

What documents ship with each batch?

+

Certificate of Analysis, Material Safety Data Sheet and Batch Manufacturing Record per batch, with stability data available on request. Export consignments are supported with the additional market documentation summarised on our export compliance page.

Why does GMP certification matter for export buyers?

+

Importers, customs authorities and marketplaces routinely ask for evidence that goods were made in a licensed, inspected facility. A current GMP certificate plus ISO 22716 and per-batch COA/MSDS shortens registration and clearance steps, and is usually a precondition for onboarding with regulated distributors.
