Cosmetics & skincare batch tracking software

Link every raw material lot to the formula batch and the filled units it produced, with best-by dates and hold status - the batch records a cosmetics buyer or GMP audit expects.

The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Raw material lots and formula batch sheets aren't linked, so a supplier issue is hard to scope.
! Filled and labeled units carry a lot code that doesn't tie back to the batch record.
! GMP and retailer audits ask for a full batch history that lives across paper and spreadsheets.
How LotThread helps

Built for cosmetics & skincare batch tracking software.

Formula batch records

Start a batch, consume exact approved material lots, record in-process checks, and complete with a captured yield - all on one append-only record.

Raw material lot control

Materials land in quarantine until inspected; anything on hold or expired is blocked from entering a formula batch automatically.

Filled-unit genealogy

Each filled, labeled lot traces back through its formula batch to every raw material lot and supplier behind it.

Audit-ready export

Every action is logged with user, time, and reason and exports to PDF or CSV, so a GMP or retailer audit is a download, not a scramble.

FAQ

Questions about cosmetics & skincare batch tracking software.

Does LotThread support best-by / PAO dates?

Yes. Finished lots carry best-by dates, and inventory flags materials that are expiring or expired so they're kept out of new batches.

Do I have to replace my accounting or ecommerce tools?

No. LotThread is the traceability layer that sits alongside QuickBooks, Shopify, and the tools you already use - it connects your materials, batches, and shipments into one record without replacing your books or storefront.

How long does it take to trace my first product?

Most producers trace a first product in an afternoon. You set up one product, one supplier, and one production batch, and the genealogy and recall scoping compute from there - no manufacturing ERP rollout required.

Can I import existing lots from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Map your columns once and bulk-import materials, suppliers, and existing lots from a spreadsheet or supplier file, so you start with your real history instead of a blank system.
