✛ What Is Private Label?
Proven Formulas, Your Brand
Private label manufacturing means starting from an existing, tested base formulation and customising it with your own branding, packaging, and — where needed — minor adjustments to fragrance, actives, or positioning. It's the fastest way to bring a professional-quality product to market without a full custom development cycle.

✛ Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
What is the difference between private label and white label?
Private label allows some customisation of the base formula alongside your own branding, while white label typically uses a ready-made product with branding only.
Can I customise the fragrance or colour of a private label formula?
Yes — light customisation such as fragrance, colour, and minor actives is usually possible within a private label base formula.
How fast can I launch with private label manufacturing?
Private label is generally faster than a fully custom development since the base formula is already proven — most launches move from selection to delivery in 4–12 weeks.
What is the minimum order quantity for private label products?
MOQs vary by base formula and packaging format, but 500–1,000 units is a typical starting range — see our Low MOQ page or contact us for a quote.
Can I eventually move from private label to a fully custom formula?
Yes — many brands start with private label to launch quickly, then move to ODM or custom formulation as they scale.
Does private label include packaging and artwork support?
Yes — branding, label, and packaging customisation are part of our private label service.
How much does it cost to start a private label skincare brand?
Most founders launch in the $4,000–$30,000 range depending on customisation level, with stock formulas and packaging at the lower end and light custom branding at the higher end.
What profit margin should I expect from private label products?
Private label skincare typically achieves 45–55% gross margin, with personal care and makeup often reaching 50–65% due to lower ingredient costs relative to perceived value.
