How to Choose Between Ready-to-Go vs. Custom Formulas
Understanding MOQ, Lead Times, and Costs
- Step 1: Sampling the Formula If you’re going with a ready-to-go formula, we can usually send samples within 7–10 business days. For custom formulas, especially if you’re requesting specific functionality, texture, or fragrance profiles, expect 3–5 weeks, including revisions.
- Step 2: Packaging Development If you’re choosing from our stocked packaging, this can happen in parallel with sampling. But if we’re sourcing something custom—like tinted glass bottles, airless pumps, or high-end labeling—plan for 3–4 extra weeks to allow for procurement, testing, and approvals.
- Step 3: Production Once your sample is approved and packaging is confirmed, full production takes 4–6 weeks, depending on the complexity and volume of your order. For urgent timelines, we’ll work closely with you to fast-track wherever possible.
- Formula Complexity A lightweight daily lotion with basic hydration ingredients will cost less than a multi-action formula with peptides, stem cells, or high-concentration actives. The more functional the formula, the more raw material cost and testing it may require.
- Packaging Choices Standard PET or HDPE bottles are the most cost-efficient. Glass packaging, custom molds, metallic finishes, or unique closures add both beauty and cost. We’ll help you weigh impact vs. investment.
- Order Volume Like most production environments, volume drives efficiency. A run of 3,000 units could lower your unit cost by 15–30% compared to a 500-unit batch, depending on materials and labor.
- Fragrance & Ingredient Customization Custom fragrance blending, essential oil sourcing, or inclusion of imported hero ingredients (like Swiss glacial water or Moroccan argan oil) may increase both timeline and cost—but they often add serious brand value.
- Compliance, Testing & Documentation If you’re exporting to regions with specific documentation needs (EU, GCC, FDA), we can help. COAs, MSDS, stability reports, and INCI formatting are included—but some certifications may add cost if 3rd-party labs are involved.
How to Match Formula Texture to Your Customer Base
- Where is your product being sold?

Creating Claims That Sell (and Stay Compliant)
- The feel: “Melts into skin without residue,” “Silky-smooth, fast-absorbing texture”

- The lifestyle fit: “Fragrance-free for sensitive users,” “Clean, vegan formula made for daily rituals”
- “Safe for sensitive skin”
- “Non-greasy feel”
- “With aloe and vitamin E” are gold for conversion. For spa channels, claims like “professional-grade,” “aromatherapy-infused,” or “used in treatment rooms” may be more appropriate. Whatever your sales channel, we make sure your message is dialed in.
