OO - India Manufacturing Brief

Luxury Sensual Oil + Condom-Compatible Glide Product

Swiss Market | Premium Adult Wellness | Cosmetic / Intimate-Care Development

1. Document Purpose

This document is a professional manufacturing and development brief for Indian cosmetic / intimate-care manufacturers.

We are looking for a qualified Indian manufacturer who can rapidly develop and produce premium sensual wellness products for the Swiss market.

The first target is a luxury external-use sensual oil.

The second target is a condom-compatible intimate glide product.

The objective is to identify a capable manufacturer quickly, receive first samples fast, validate compliance readiness, and prepare a Swiss-market launch dossier. The structure below is based on your current manufacturing brief draft.  

2. Business Context

This is not intended as a cheap adult novelty product.

The product must feel premium, elegant, safe, well-documented and suitable for a Swiss luxury market.

3. Product Architecture

We do not want one product to do everything.

We want a two-product architecture.

Reason:

Oil gives the best luxury glide and sensuality, but oil-based products are not suitable with latex condoms. Therefore, a separate condom-compatible product is required.

Product 1 – Luxury Sensual Oil

4. Product 1 Overview

5. Intended Use

External-use cosmetic body oil for:

• Massage
• Self-touch
• Sensual body rituals
• Partner closeness
• Luxury adult wellness
• Skin conditioning
• External intimate-area-adjacent use only

6. Not Intended For

The product is not intended for:

• Internal vaginal use
• Internal anal use
• Mucosal application
• Contraceptive use
• Condom-compatible lubricant use
• Medical treatment
• Sexual dysfunction treatment
• Libido enhancement claims
• Orgasm guarantee claims

7. Required Positioning

Correct positioning:

External-use luxury sensual body oil.

Not a medicine.

Not a drug.

Not a contraceptive.

Not a lubricant for use with latex condoms.

8. Product 1 – Desired Experience

The oil must deliver a premium sensual experience.

Target sensation

• Silky
• Warm
• Luxurious
• Long-glide
• Soft
• Touch-enhancing
• Intimate
• Premium
• Slightly tingling
• Comfortable
• Non-burning
• Non-numbing

The product should create an “ultra-lust luxury” experience through

• Long-lasting glide
• Soft skin feel
• Warm close-to-skin fragrance
• Subtle micro-tingle
• Sensual massage performance
• Premium packaging
• Ritual-based use

The product must not create

• Burning
• Pain
• Strong redness
• Aggressive tingling
• Numbing
• Itching
• Irritation
• Medicinal smell
• Cheap erotic product feeling

9. Product 1 – Sensory Target

The target is a controlled micro-tingle.

Launch target

2.5–3.5 out of 10

Do not launch above

4 out of 10

Automatic rejection

Any formula causing burning, pain, redness, numbness, itching or delayed irritation.

10. Product 1 – Formula Direction

This is a development direction only. The manufacturer may propose alternatives, but the final product must remain premium, stable, safe and Swiss/EU-compliance ready.

11. Product 1 – Fragrance Direction

The fragrance must be luxurious, intimate and close-to-skin.

Target impression

Warm skin, rose, saffron, cardamom, sandalwood, vanilla and soft musk.

Desired notes

• Soft rose
• Saffron nuance
• Cardamom nuance
• Jasmine nuance
• Sandalwood
• Vanilla
• Skin musk
• Soft warm spice
• Clean sensual skin note

Avoid

• Cheap perfume
• Heavy incense
• Strong Ayurveda smell
• Deodorant smell
• Medicinal smell
• Strong menthol
• Strong cinnamon
• Strong clove
• Bubblegum sweetness
• Adult novelty scent
• Overpowering projection

The scent should be discovered close to the skin.

It should not fill the room like perfume.

12. Product 1 – Ingredients to Avoid

The following should not be used unless specifically justified by a qualified safety assessor at safe cosmetic levels:

• Capsicum extract
• Methyl nicotinate
• Benzyl nicotinate
• Cinnamon bark oil
• Clove oil
• Wintergreen oil
• Camphor
• Strong menthol
• Strong peppermint oil
• Strong eucalyptus oil
• Local anaesthetics
• Pharmaceutical vasodilators
• Hormonal actives
• CBD / cannabis derivatives
• Any active designed to create strong redness, burning or genital stimulation

Reason:

The product must feel luxurious, not painful or aggressive.

13. Product 1 – Condom Compatibility Warning

Because Product 1 is oil-based, it must include a clear warning:

Not compatible with latex condoms. Do not use with latex condoms.

Additional warning:

This product is not a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

This is important because oil-based lubricants can weaken latex condoms and increase breakage risk.

Product 2 – Condom-Compatible Glide

14. Product 2 Overview

15. Required Technical Route

The manufacturer must propose the best technical route.

Key requirement

Condom compatibility must be tested and documented.

Do not claim condom compatibility without testing.

Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are generally the standard routes for condom-compatible products, while oil-based products should not be used with latex condoms.

16. Product 2 – Desired Experience

The condom-compatible glide product must feel premium, not clinical.

Target experience

• Smooth
• Long glide
• Non-sticky
• Non-burning
• Non-irritating
• Condom-compatible after testing
• Easy to clean
• Elegant
• Swiss-market ready
• Suitable for luxury adult wellness positioning
