Let’s start with the probably most existing part. Minimum order quantity and prices for different your name cosmetic products.

This table shows some of the most popular cosmetic products, their MOQ and starting prices for both types of your name cosmetics.

Your Name Cosmetics is another term for private label cosmetics. The idea is to use already developed and maybe even already manufactured cosmetic products and put your name on them.

This saves you time and money for development and testing. Also, the minimum order quantity (MOQ) is usually lower than for custom formulations.

This article should help you to understand different types of your name cosmetics, their advantages and disadvantages, and how you choose the right one for your cosmetic business.

First, we need to understand the different types of your name cosmetics, since they differ in MOQ and prices.

The first type is cosmetic products, that are pre-produced, on stock and waiting to be labelled with your name. This way, you can start quick and cheap. There’s basically no production time, and often you can start with just one unit.

On the downside, your customization options are very limited and the unit price is very high.

Pros:

• Short lead time
• Low minimum order quantity

Cons:

• Very limited customization
• High unit price

The second type of your name cosmetics is cosmetic products, that are pre-formulated, but not manufactured yet. While the formulation is pretty much set, there are preselected packaging options, where you have a lot of customization options that go far beyond labelling. Also, the unit prices are much lower.

Because they are manufactured just for you, it requires a higher minimum order quantity (typically 1000 units or more) and there is a production time of several weeks to months.

Pros:

• Low unit prices
• Many customization options

Cons:

• MOQ > 1000 units
• Production time of several weeks/ months

At the end, it really comes down to two things:

Your budget and confidence.

If you have enough budget for a production of 1000 units or more and, at the same time, are confident you’ll sell those units, you should definitely opt for pre-formulated your name cosmetic products.

Only if you can not afford 1000 units or more and/or you are not too confident about selling this many units, it’s probably the only reasonable way to get started with your own cosmetic business.

When you then find out there’s a rising demand for your products, you can professionalize further by switching to pre-formulated products.
