Private Label vs. Custom Formulation: Which Is Right for Your Brand?

When launching a skincare brand, you can choose between private label and custom formulation. The right option depends on your product goals, budget, timeline, and desired level of customization.

Private Label

Private label is a practical option for brands looking for a faster and more flexible way to launch. You can choose from existing formulas, then customize your packaging, branding, and other product details.
For selected toners, lotions, creams, moisturizers, and serums, our MOQ can be as low as 500 units, making private label a suitable option for startups and growing beauty brands.

Custom Formulation

Custom formulation gives you more control over the final product. You can work with our team to develop or adjust a formula based on your desired ingredients, texture, fragrance, and product concept.
Custom development may require more time and a different MOQ depending on the formula and packaging requirements.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose Private Label if you want to launch faster with a lower initial MOQ.
Choose Custom Formulation if creating a more unique product is a priority.
