When starting an organic private label skin care, you use the manufacturer’s stock formula. This means, you and anyone else can buy the stock formula with minimums as low as 48 pieces per size per bottle. With private label you have no control over the performance and fragrance. Another thing is that the marketing claims are set for all the products. In summary, you will have a product that has your name but no control of. Why would anyone do that? This is because of the lower minimums and lead time to get a product out in the market.
On the other hand, there’s contract manufacturing. Most contract manufacturers run minimum order quantities between 5,000 to 10,000 units per size, per bottle. Unlike private label, contract manufacturing will be customized by you from the formula to the packaging. The formula you created won’t be sold to anyone else. However, since you have to source and store your own bottle or cap will be another factor that will drive you back to private label.
