Private Label Minoxidil
At Metro Private Label, we understand that a successful hair regrowth product does more than just regrow hair—it builds trust with your customers, creates visible transformation, and positions your brand as a solution people believe in. That’s why we’ve developed our private label Minoxidil line around real-world efficacy, compliance transparency, and what consumers actually buy again.
From clinically trusted 5% Minoxidil foams to modern-day serums with biotin, rosemary, or caffeine, our offering goes beyond generic formulas. We keep our eyes on Amazon best sellers, TikTok tutorials, Reddit reviews, and dermatology forums—so what we manufacture for you is exactly what your customers are already searching for.
As your manufacturing partner, we’re not just filling bottles—we’re helping you launch products that meet FDA guidelines, ship on time, and deliver visible results that generate real reviews. Whether you’re targeting men with beard-growth kits or building a clean-label Minoxidil line for postpartum women, we’ll tailor the dosage, format, labeling, and packaging to match your audience and channel.
So whether you’re a first-time founder or a seasoned brand operator, we’ve got the formulas, documentation, and flexibility to scale with you. Let’s build a Minoxidil product line that doesn’t just promise regrowth—but actually delivers it.

Build a Minoxidil Line That Actually Delivers — and Wins the Reorder
At Metro Private Label, we know Minoxidil isn’t just a “functional” ingredient—it’s the moment your customers start hoping for results. For a man watching his hairline retreat, or a new mom noticing shedding, this is personal. That means your Minoxidil product can’t just be compliant—it needs to be credible, easy to use, and worth talking about.
That’s where we come in.
We help you create high-performance Minoxidil SKUs that feel modern, backed, and brand-aligned. Running a clean-label DTC brand looking to soften the clinical edge of hair loss? Building a foam-based routine to rival Rogaine—but with a better sensory profile? Want to give your TikTok audience a growth serum with visible results and Rosemary + Biotin in the INCI? We’ll help you customize the dosage, base, application method, and packaging—so your Minoxidil doesn’t just check the boxes… it becomes your brand’s core revenue driver.
Our Minoxidil formats are based on what customers are actually buying and Googling:
- ✅ 5% Minoxidil foam for men, unscented and fast-drying (think Rogaine)
- ✅ 5% foam for women—cleaner texture, cleaner branding
- ✅ 2% solution for women with sensitivity or postpartum shedding
- ✅ Dropper or spray-style 5% serums for both men and women
- ✅ Minoxidil + Biotin growth serums for modern DTC brands
- ✅ Beard growth kits for men—Minoxidil, derma roller, and full grooming experience
- ✅ Botanical Minoxidil sprays with caffeine, rosemary, and saw palmetto
- ✅ Ready-to-sell hair regrowth starter kits (serum + roller + instructions + box)
We track what’s ranking on Amazon, going viral on TikTok, and rising in Google Trends—so what you launch feels relevant from day one, not like a me-too product chasing the curve.
And we go beyond formulation. We help with the small details that separate a “product” from a hero SKU:
- The spray nozzle that won’t clog.
- The foam texture that doesn’t drip.
- The dropper that delivers just the right dose.
- The label layout that looks clean in Amazon’s zoom view.
Need help staying within FDA rules while still telling a great story? Want a matte black kit for men, or a pearl-gloss label for your clean-beauty line? We’ve got you. Starting MOQs from just 1000 units, compliant artwork templates, quick sampling, and packaging that’s already been tested in-market.
Whether you’re testing a hero product or scaling a magnesium oil line across markets, we’re here to make the process smooth, flexible, and brand-ready.

FAQs Minoxidil
For your convenience, we’ve gathered the most commonly asked questions about our Minoxidil. However, should you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Can you manufacture Minoxidil in your own facility?
Not directly. As a skincare OEM based in China, our own facility is not licensed for drug or OTC manufacturing. However, we collaborate closely with licensed Chinese contract manufacturers who are registered to produce Minoxidil (2% / 5%) under FDA OTC monograph standards.
Are your Minoxidil products FDA registered?
Yes—but through our qualified partner factories. The formulas we offer follow the FDA’s monograph guidelines for topical Minoxidil and are produced in facilities with U.S. FDA OTC Drug Listing. We can share the NDC registration details upon request.
What formats of Minoxidil can you provide for U.S. brands?
We can supply a full range of ready-to-ship Minoxidil formats from our partner factories, including:
- 5% foam (men or women)
- 2% solution (women)
- 5% topical solution (dropper or spray)
- Minoxidil beard growth serum kits While these are not made in our own factory, we manage the project, packaging, and documentation for you end-to-end.
Can we customize the formula, or only use stock versions?
For regulatory reasons, we typically recommend starting with proven, FDA-listed stock formulas. Some light customization is possible—like adjusting packaging, scent, or adding label-friendly actives (biotin, caffeine, rosemary)—but the Minoxidil active itself must stay within the approved range and format.
What’s your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Minoxidil?
Our MOQ through our partner factory is 1,000 units per SKU, ideal for testing DTC or Amazon sales. Custom packaging may require higher MOQs depending on bottle or pump selection, but we always aim to offer low-risk entry options.
How long does it take to produce and ship Minoxidil to the U.S.?
Sampling takes about 3–5 weeks, and full production requires another 4–6 weeks depending on packaging and order size. We then arrange shipping by air or sea with full export documents and customs support for U.S. clearance.
Can you support OTC label design and drug facts formatting?
Yes. We work with regulatory consultants to ensure your Drug Facts panel, dosage instructions, and NDC number are correctly formatted for U.S. compliance. We’ll also help you avoid common mistakes that can trigger Amazon or FDA warnings.
Who holds the NDC registration and OTC credentials?
The contract factory we work with holds the NDC (National Drug Code) registration and OTC drug manufacturing qualification. We act as your project manager and brand-side partner—ensuring everything runs smoothly from formula matching to final delivery.
Can you help me sell on Amazon in the U.S.?
Yes. Many of our clients sell Minoxidil products on Amazon. We can assist with FDA-compliant labeling, packaging optimization for FBA, and even claims language that passes Amazon’s review. However, you must ensure you are listed as the legal brand owner with proper product documentation.
Can I use “clean” or “natural” marketing language for Minoxidil in the U.S.?
Carefully. Because Minoxidil is an FDA-approved drug, marketing language must follow stricter rules. We can help you highlight supporting ingredients like biotin, niacinamide, or caffeine, but we’ll also guide you in avoiding unapproved claims to keep your listing and brand safe.

Your Ultimate Guide to Minoxidil
Launching a Minoxidil product isn’t just about copying what’s already out there. It’s about understanding the science, navigating the regulations, and crafting something your customers actually want to stick with—day after day, drop after drop.
At Metro Private Label, we’ve had the privilege of working with startup founders building their first-ever haircare SKU, Amazon sellers chasing review-driven conversions, and international buyers needing compliant OTC drug products that clear customs with zero drama. What they all have in common? They’re looking for a partner who understands the difference between just filling bottles—and building a category-defining product.
We know Minoxidil seems simple from the outside—“It’s just 5%, right?” But behind every reorder-worthy formula is a long list of strategic decisions: Should you go foam or solution? What packaging resonates with your audience? Do you need a clean-label story, a TikTok-friendly unboxing, or a dermatologist-backed data claim? How do you position your product without stepping outside FDA compliance?
This guide brings together everything we’ve learned behind the scenes—on what actually drives repurchase rates, how different Minoxidil formats perform across DTC and retail channels, and how we help our partners align packaging, labeling, and logistics for both U.S. regulations and export markets.
Whether you’re prepping for an Amazon launch, expanding your brand’s portfolio, or just trying to figure out the difference between a drug facts panel and an INCI list—we’ve got you. Let’s build your Minoxidil hero SKU, one that looks legit, performs beautifully, and scales smart.

What Is Minoxidil and How Does It Work?
At Metro Private Label, we work with all kinds of founders—some are experienced brand builders, others are just launching their first DTC product. No matter where they’re starting from, one of the first questions we always get is: “What exactly is Minoxidil… and how does it work?”
That’s a great place to begin—because when you’re building a product that’s rooted in real science, it’s important to understand what makes it effective.
Minoxidil Is More Than Just a Trend—It’s Clinically Proven
Minoxidil is one of the only FDA-approved over-the-counter (OTC) drug ingredients clinically proven to help regrow hair. It was originally developed as an oral medication for high blood pressure, but researchers soon discovered a very unexpected side effect—increased hair growth. That led to the development of topical Minoxidil formulas specifically for male and female pattern hair loss.
Unlike cosmetic ingredients that simply coat the hair or soothe the scalp, Minoxidil works directly at the follicular level. It increases blood circulation in the scalp, extends the hair growth phase (anagen), and reactivates dormant hair follicles. In simpler terms? It helps hair grow back where it was thinning—and keeps it growing for longer.
If your customers are struggling with shedding, thinning, or early signs of baldness, Minoxidil is often their first step into the hair regrowth journey. And as a brand, offering a product with real efficacy gives you a solid foundation to build long-term trust.
Understanding 2% vs. 5% Minoxidil: What’s the Difference?
When you’re deciding which formula to launch—2% or 5%—it’s not just about strength. It’s about audience.
2% Minoxidil is FDA-approved for women and is generally used for diffuse thinning, hormonal shedding, and postpartum hair loss. It’s gentler on the scalp, making it a great choice for clean-label or sensitive-skin focused brands targeting women aged 25–45.
5% Minoxidil is FDA-approved for men, and is the go-to strength for treating male pattern baldness, especially at the crown. It’s also widely used off-label by women who want stronger, faster results. Many successful Amazon brands offer both options, and we can help you design the right label language for each one.
As your manufacturing partner, we’ll guide you through what’s required for each concentration—including FDA labeling, Drug Facts panel formatting, and NDC documentation through our qualified contract facilities.
Foam or Solution? It Depends on the Experience You Want to Create
Let’s talk format—because for your end customer, how Minoxidil feels is just as important as what it does.
Minoxidil Foam has exploded in popularity because it’s lightweight, dries fast, and doesn’t leave behind a greasy feel. It’s ideal for daily routines and men who want a clean, no-fuss product they can use before work or after the gym. We can help you create a foam with a smooth, residue-free finish that feels premium without inflating your unit cost.
Minoxidil Solution, on the other hand, is more affordable to produce and incredibly versatile. It works great in dropper bottles or scalp sprays, and we can enhance the base with trending actives like biotin, caffeine, or rosemary extract to help you differentiate in a crowded market. This format is popular for both men and women, and it’s especially good for beard growth kits and precision application.
We’ll help you choose the format that aligns with your positioning—whether you’re going clinical and serious or fun and social-media-friendly.
How Should Customers Use It? And What Should You Tell Them?
One of the best things you can do as a brand is educate your customer—because Minoxidil isn’t an instant fix. It works, but it takes consistency.
Here’s what we usually recommend including in your insert card or email flow:
- Apply to dry scalp once or twice a day, depending on label instructions
- Let it fully absorb—don’t rinse it out
- Results typically take 3–6 months, and may include some initial shedding
- Wash hands after application to avoid unwanted hair growth on other areas
- Use it continuously—stopping treatment can cause hair to revert back
As your partner, we’ll provide you with FDA-compliant usage instructions and help you design inserts that educate without overwhelming. If you’re planning to sell on Amazon or TikTok Shop, these materials are key for building trust, managing expectations, and reducing returns.
Why Minoxidil Works for Brands—Not Just Hair
Minoxidil isn’t just a science-backed ingredient. It’s also a high-intent, high-conversion category. Customers are searching for it. They know what it is. And when they find a version that feels good, looks modern, and fits their values? They stick with it.
That’s why we treat Minoxidil not just as a formulation job—but as a brand-building opportunity. From formula selection and packaging to compliance and reorder-friendly formats, we’ll help you create a product that performs—and scales.
Whether you’re launching a foam for men, a postpartum-friendly solution for women, or a beard kit that goes viral, we’re here to walk you through it, step by step.
Minoxidil Product Formats: What Are Your Private Label Options?
At Metro Private Label, we’ve helped a lot of founders and brand managers launch their first Minoxidil product—and if there’s one question that always comes up, it’s this: “What format should I choose?”
It’s not a small decision. The format you go with doesn’t just affect production cost—it shapes your customer’s experience, your visual branding, your Amazon listing, and even how easily your product becomes part of someone’s daily routine. That’s why we walk every client through the options, the pros and cons, and the strategic fit for their audience. Below, we’ll break it all down.
🫧 Minoxidil Foam – Premium Feel, Clinical Credibility
Foam is the go-to format for a reason. It’s clean, lightweight, and quick to absorb—perfect for customers who want something that doesn’t feel greasy or medicinal. Most men’s brands on Amazon and retail shelves lead with 5% Minoxidil foam, and for good reason: it has strong consumer trust and excellent before/after potential when used consistently.
We usually recommend foam to DTC brands that are positioning themselves in the performance category. It looks and feels clinical but still premium. The experience is tactile and satisfying—it expands slightly when dispensed, spreads easily without dripping, and dries without residue. In short, it feels like it works.
Now, a quick heads-up: Minoxidil foam does require a pressurized can and specialized filling equipment, which means a slightly higher MOQ and unit cost compared to other formats. But if you’re launching a hero SKU or building a flagship product for Amazon or subscription-based delivery, it’s absolutely worth the investment. We’ve developed foams through our FDA-registered partners that rival top U.S. brands in texture and absorption—and we’re ready to walk you through the options.
💧 Minoxidil Solution – Affordable, Fast to Market, and Flexible
Topical solution is the most widely used format, and one of the easiest to get started with. It’s usually packaged with a dropper or spray nozzle, and the base formula includes water, alcohol, propylene glycol, and Minoxidil. Depending on your positioning, we can keep it minimal—or we can enrich it with complementary ingredients like biotin, rosemary, or niacinamide to give it a clean-label edge.
Solutions are ideal if you’re testing the market, entering with multiple SKUs, or serving budget-conscious customers who are focused on results over rituals. Many of our clients launch with solution as their entry point—it’s low risk, fast to produce, and incredibly scalable.
One thing to consider: some customers don’t love the greasy feel or slight alcohol smell that comes with traditional Minoxidil solutions. But we’ve worked around that by developing alcohol-free or low-residue variants, and we can help you make the texture cleaner, lighter, and more DTC-friendly.
This format works really well for both men and women, and because it’s less expensive to produce, you’ll have more flexibility on price, bundling, or even offering it as part of a growth kit.
🌿 Minoxidil Spray – Clean, Easy, and TikTok-Ready
Spray-format Minoxidil is a rising star—especially among younger, lifestyle-conscious buyers who want products that are quick to use and don’t require touching the scalp. With the right nozzle, it’s precise and mess-free, and it can be positioned as “low-effort, high-performance.”
We typically recommend spray to DTC brands that want to modernize the category. You’re not just selling hair regrowth—you’re offering convenience and design. The spray format gives you that clean, gender-neutral aesthetic, and it’s perfect for pairing with minimalist labels, recyclable packaging, or influencer content.
It also pairs well with botanical extracts, which means you can highlight ingredients like rosemary, caffeine, green tea, or saw palmetto while keeping the Minoxidil as the core active. This opens up a lot of storytelling opportunities while staying compliant.
Just note that not all spray pumps work well with Minoxidil—so we’ll test compatibility for you to avoid clogging issues and make sure your packaging is functional as well as beautiful.
✨ Minoxidil Serum – Skincare Crossover with Storytelling Potential
If your brand leans more into the beauty, wellness, or clean-label space, Minoxidil serum is a format worth considering. This is where skincare meets scalp care. The serum base is typically richer and more sensorial, and we can formulate it to include trending actives like hyaluronic acid, peptides, or ginseng, all while maintaining the 2% or 5% Minoxidil content that makes it effective.
Serums are especially popular among female shoppers, postpartum hair recovery audiences, and brands that want to position themselves at the intersection of “treatment” and “luxury self-care.” You can package it in a glass dropper bottle, go frosted or tinted for premium feel, and even offer it as part of a ritual kit or tiered hair health system.
This format takes more planning around compliance because you’re balancing a drug active with a cosmetic-style presentation—but don’t worry, we’ve done this many times, and we’ll guide you through the regulatory language, the labeling, and the INCI formatting so your product is both compliant and compelling.
🧔 Beard Growth Kit – Niche, Giftable, and Growing Fast
Here’s where it gets fun. Beard growth is a high-interest niche with massive potential—especially on TikTok, YouTube, and Amazon. We help brands create full beard growth kits that include a dropper bottle of Minoxidil (usually 5%), a derma roller, a user guide, and a box that feels complete and giftable.
This format isn’t just about function—it’s about brand culture. You can add bold visual branding, create a “30-day challenge,” or offer video tutorials. The unboxing experience matters here, and we’ll help you put it all together—from sourcing the roller to printing the insert to optimizing the box dimensions for Amazon FBA or international delivery.
Beard kits are a great entry point for content creators, men’s grooming startups, or anyone targeting a younger male audience with an affinity for grooming, supplements, or transformation-based marketing.
🧭 Choosing the Right Format Starts with Your Audience
At the end of the day, the right format depends on who you’re selling to, where you’re selling it, and how you want the product to feel. That’s where we come in.
We don’t just hand you a formula—we help you match it with the right packaging, pricing, label language, and delivery method so it fits seamlessly into your customer’s life. Whether you’re building a serious clinical brand or launching a lifestyle-driven DTC line, we’ve already got the experience—and the partners—to help you do it right.
👉 Want to test foam vs. solution? Curious what a serum kit would look like with your brand name on it? Let’s create something customers don’t just use—but reorder.
U.S. Compliance 101: What You Need to Legally Sell Minoxidil
When it comes to selling Minoxidil in the U.S., one thing we always tell our clients up front is this: Minoxidil isn’t just another cosmetic product. It’s an over-the-counter (OTC) drug—and that means the rules are very different.
At Metro Private Label, we work with DTC founders, Amazon sellers, and global buyers who are new to this category. And one of our biggest responsibilities is making sure you understand exactly what’s required to launch a Minoxidil product that’s compliant, retail-ready, and built to scale—without running into problems with Amazon, customs, or the FDA.
Let’s break down the key things you need to know if you want to legally sell Minoxidil in the U.S.—and how we support you through each step.
💊 Minoxidil Is Regulated Under the FDA’s OTC Drug Monograph System
Unlike serums or scalp oils that are classified as cosmetics, Minoxidil falls under the U.S. FDA OTC Drug Monograph system. That means it’s considered a drug, even though it’s available without a prescription.
The FDA has strict guidelines about what’s allowed:
- 2% Minoxidil is approved for women
- 5% Minoxidil is approved for men
- Only specific uses and claims are permitted, such as “to regrow hair on the scalp”
- Anything outside of the approved usage, claims, dosage, or directions is considered noncompliant and can get your listing flagged or pulled
We help you stay within those guidelines, so you don’t get caught off guard. From choosing the correct concentration to making sure your product usage aligns with the FDA’s expectations, we’ve got your back.
📋 Every Minoxidil Product Needs a Drug Facts Panel—No Exceptions
One of the biggest compliance issues we see—especially on Amazon—is improper labeling. If you’re selling Minoxidil in the U.S., you must include a Drug Facts panel on your outer box or bottle. No exceptions.
This is where we come in. We’ll help you design and format a Drug Facts label that includes:
- The active ingredient (Minoxidil) and its percentage
- The purpose (e.g., hair regrowth treatment)
- Approved uses under the monograph
- All necessary warnings, including for pregnancy, flammability, and external use
- Clear directions for use (e.g., once daily for women, twice daily for men)
- A full list of inactive ingredients in INCI format
- Storage conditions, expiration date, and batch number
We’ll also make sure your Drug Facts panel meets the FDA’s formatting rules—including font size, order of information, and layout—because Amazon’s systems are smart enough to flag bad formatting even if the text is technically correct.
This isn’t something you want to guess at. We’ve seen brands get delisted over simple formatting mistakes or forget to include required warnings. So we handle this for you, from the very first draft.
🆔 What’s an NDC Number—And Why Do You Need One?
Every OTC drug sold in the U.S. must have an NDC, or National Drug Code. Think of it like a fingerprint for your Minoxidil product. It’s a unique 10-digit identifier that tells the FDA who made the product, what it is, and how it’s packaged.
Now here’s the part we want to be transparent about: Metro Private Label does not hold our own OTC drug manufacturing license. We’re a cosmetic manufacturer—but we’ve built strong partnerships with FDA-registered OTC drug factories here in China who do hold valid NDCs and are fully compliant with U.S. regulations.
So when you work with us, we manage the entire backend with our partner facility:
- We assign the correct NDC number to your product
- We help you place it properly on the label
- We coordinate the documentation for Amazon or customs
You won’t have to chase a separate NDC provider or deal with a third-party compliance consultant—we handle it all as part of our service.
🏷️ What Needs to Go on the Label and Packaging?
Let’s talk about what your customer sees—because your label isn’t just about design; it’s a compliance document too.
Every Minoxidil product needs a compliant outer box, primary bottle label, and in many cases, a product insert. Here’s how we help you build those assets:
- We format your Drug Facts label properly for both U.S. and Amazon requirements
- We apply the correct NDC number, batch code, and expiration date
- We print the correct storage instructions, directions, and warnings
- We align your font sizes and contrast with FDA visibility guidelines
- We make sure your brand name, logo, and visual design don’t interfere with the required drug language
We’ll also advise you on what not to say—because adding terms like “clinically proven,” “natural,” or “faster regrowth” may seem like good marketing, but can get your product flagged if not backed by approved studies.
The good news? We know how to build compliant claims that still sound compelling. For example:
- ✅ “FDA-Listed Active Ingredient”
- ✅ “Visible results in 3–6 months with consistent use”
- ✅ “Formulated in an FDA-registered OTC facility”
These are the types of claims that build buyer trust without crossing legal lines.
🛃 What About Customs and Amazon Documentation?
If you’re planning to sell Minoxidil on Amazon FBA or ship into the U.S., documentation matters just as much as the product itself. Here’s what we prepare for you:
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS)
- NDC registration reference
- Label proof with Drug Facts
- Manufacturing license and factory compliance files (from our OTC partner)
We’ve helped multiple clients get their Minoxidil SKUs listed and approved on Amazon—with no delisting, no labeling issues, and no customs delays. And if Amazon requests additional paperwork (they often do), we’re ready to respond quickly.
⚠️ What Happens If You Skip Compliance?
We don’t say this to scare you—but to save you. We’ve seen what happens when a Minoxidil product goes live without proper compliance:
- Amazon delists your product within 2 weeks
- Customs holds your shipment at the port
- Buyers complain or return the product due to misleading labeling
- In worst-case scenarios, you receive a warning letter from the FDA
We’re not here to sell you shortcuts. We’re here to help you build something that lasts. And in the Minoxidil category, that starts with doing things by the book.
✅ How We Support You, Step by Step
Here’s what you get when you launch Minoxidil with Metro Private Label:
- ✅ FDA-aligned formula from our registered OTC partner
- ✅ Fully formatted Drug Facts label, built to spec
- ✅ Guidance on NDC number placement and label integration
- ✅ Amazon and customs documentation support
- ✅ Batch tracking, shelf-life printing, and packaging compliance
- ✅ Honest advice about what you can and can’t say on your product
Whether you’re just starting out or scaling to larger volumes, we’re your compliance partner—not just your supplier. We take this seriously, because it’s what keeps your product live, your reputation clean, and your customers coming back.
👉 Ready to launch your Minoxidil product with confidence? Let’s start with compliance—and build from there. We’ll walk you through every document, every label, and every regulation—so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Ready-Made vs. Custom Formula: Which Path Is Right for You?
When we speak to founders—especially those launching their first Minoxidil product—this is the decision that always comes up early: “Should I go with a ready-made formula or build a custom one?”
We get it. On the one hand, you want something that’s fast, compliant, and proven. On the other, you want your product to stand out, reflect your brand’s identity, and maybe even tell a bigger story than “5% Minoxidil.” At Metro Private Label, we’ve helped brands go down both paths—and we’re here to walk you through the pros, cons, and hidden tradeoffs so you can choose with confidence.
✅ What Is a Ready-Made Formula—and Why Do So Many Brands Start Here?
Our ready-made formulas are fully tested, stability-verified, and FDA-compliant OTC drug formulations that are produced through our licensed partner factories. They come with an assigned NDC number, Drug Facts panel, and inactive base that’s already cleared for U.S. sale. That means you’re not starting from zero—you’re starting from a proven, legally registered foundation.
For many of our clients, this route just makes sense—especially if you’re:
- Testing a new market or channel (like Amazon or TikTok Shop)
- Working with limited time or budget
- Building your first SKU and want to move quickly
- Needing something that checks all the regulatory boxes, fast
The best part? These formulas have been used by thousands of end-users, and the textures, absorption, and application feel are optimized for real-world use. Whether you’re choosing 2% solution for postpartum women or 5% foam for male pattern baldness, you can get into market in as little as 6–8 weeks with full documentation in hand.
And yes—we still help you customize your packaging, label design, and claims (within FDA rules), so the product still feels very much like “your brand,” not just something off the shelf.
🌿 What If You Want Something More Unique? Let’s Talk Custom Formulation
Now, if your vision goes beyond a basic solution or foam—if you want a product that feels like it could only belong to your brand—that’s when a custom formula makes sense. This route gives us the ability to take the FDA-approved Minoxidil base and build a more elevated, experience-driven product around it.
For example, we can infuse the formula with:
- Biotin, to support hair strength and density
- Rosemary or peppermint, for circulation and scalp health
- Caffeine, for follicle stimulation and energizing the hair cycle
- Niacinamide, for barrier support and scalp comfort
- DHT-blocking botanicals like saw palmetto or pumpkin seed oil
These ingredients don’t change the drug status of the product—they enhance the experience and the story. It’s ideal if you’re speaking to consumers who care about what’s in their formula, how it feels, and why it’s different from what they’ve tried before.
Of course, custom formulation takes a little longer. Sampling might take 4–6 weeks instead of 3. Final production might require a slightly higher MOQ. But if you’re building a premium line, selling through retail, or working with influencers who need something Instagram-worthy, custom gives you the flexibility to lead with your values and product experience.
⏱️ Timeline, Budget & Brand Vision: Which Path Fits Where You Are?
So how do you choose? We usually ask clients three simple questions:
- Are you in a rush to launch or testing product-market fit? If so, ready-made is perfect. You’ll move faster, stay lean, and have all the compliance handled for you.
- Are you creating a brand that’s rooted in education, formulation, or sensory experience? Then custom might be worth the extra few weeks. It allows you to speak directly to what your audience values—whether that’s clean ingredients, a luxurious texture, or a story behind the product.
- Do you plan to scale this into a full line or multi-SKU brand? Many founders start with a ready-made version to get traction and then upgrade to a custom formula once they’ve proven demand. We love that model—it’s smart, flexible, and brand-safe.
🤝 How We Support You on Either Path
Whichever way you go, we walk with you through every step. Here’s what that looks like:
If you choose ready-made:
- We send you fully compliant formula samples
- We help you choose your packaging (foam bottle, dropper, spray, etc.)
- We give you a pre-built Drug Facts label that’s Amazon- and FDA-ready
- We handle coordination with our OTC-certified factory partner, including NDC and documentation
If you choose custom:
- We help define your brand’s formulation philosophy
- We prototype different versions (e.g., serum vs. spray) with added botanicals or clean actives
- We ensure every formula still meets OTC compliance—no surprises
- We help you validate performance and customer experience before you scale
Our job is to remove the guesswork—so you can focus on building the business, not deciphering regulatory fine print.
🔄 A Common Strategy: Launch Lean, Upgrade Later
Here’s something we see all the time—and highly recommend:
Many clients start with our stock Minoxidil solution or foam to get their first orders live. It gives them something fast, affordable, and fully compliant to test the waters. Once they see real customer feedback or hit their first sales milestone, we help them evolve into a custom SKU with richer texture, targeted actives, or differentiated packaging.
That way, you’re not gambling on R&D up front—but you’re still setting yourself up to grow with confidence.
👉 Want to see what both paths look like side-by-side? Ask us for a sample comparison: one from our ready-made line, and one custom-developed with your preferred active ingredients or texture profile. We’ll guide you based on your timeline, your vision, and the kind of experience you want your customers to remember.
How to Position Your Minoxidil Product for DTC Success
When you’re building a direct-to-consumer Minoxidil brand, you’re not just selling a hair regrowth treatment—you’re selling trust, credibility, and an experience your customers come back for. At Metro Private Label, we work with founders every day who are launching their first SKU or scaling a high-growth DTC line, and we’ve learned one thing: positioning is everything.
Let us walk you through how we help you nail that positioning—from packaging to claims to ingredient storytelling—so your product doesn’t just sit on shelves or pages, but actually moves.
🧼 Clean-Label Messaging: Say It Clearly and Compliantly
Today’s DTC shopper is more informed—and more skeptical—than ever. They’re scanning your label for reassurance, your website for transparency, and your Amazon bullets for specifics. That’s why we build clean-label messaging right into your brand from day one.
Now, let’s be clear. Minoxidil is an FDA-listed OTC drug, which means your claims need to stay within regulatory boundaries. That doesn’t mean you can’t be persuasive—you just need to be smart.
Here’s what we often help clients say:
- ✅ “FDA-listed active ingredient: Minoxidil 5% for men”
- ✅ “Registered NDC number and compliant Drug Facts panel”
- ✅ “No greasy residue. Fast-absorbing. Drip-free.”
- ✅ “Designed for sensitive scalps and daily use”
But we also help you avoid risky language:
- ❌ “FDA approved” (Minoxidil is not individually approved—it’s monograph-listed)
- ❌ “Cures hair loss” (Too aggressive. Could trigger Amazon or Meta flagging.)
Our job is to help you stay clear, honest, and appealing—without crossing any red lines.
🌿 Ingredient Storytelling: Go Beyond the Active
Yes, Minoxidil is the star of the show—but your supporting ingredients build the story.
Customers want to feel like they’re getting more than a drug—they want a self-care product, a confidence booster, a daily ritual. That’s where botanicals and cosmeceuticals come in.
We help you position functional additions like:
- Biotin – “Supports keratin production and root strength.”
- Rosemary Extract – “Botanical support for scalp circulation.”
- Caffeine – “Helps energize and stimulate the scalp.”
- Aloe Vera or Panthenol – “Soothes dryness and irritation from daily use.”
We guide you in weaving these into your packaging copy, Amazon listing bullets, and educational content—so customers know it’s not just another bottle, but a well-rounded formula made with intention.
📦 Packaging That Tells a Story—Before They Even Apply
Before a customer ever applies your product, they’ve already judged it—based on your bottle shape, label, and photography.
We’ve helped DTC brands choose:
- Minimalist dropper bottles for a clean, clinical look
- Foam pump cans that mimic pharmacy-quality products
- Tinted amber glass for apothecary-style wellness brands
- Frosted bottles with silver pumps for a modern, gender-neutral appeal
Packaging is visual positioning. It tells your customer what category you belong in, what your price point should be, and whether they trust you. We help make sure that your packaging tells the right story.
📸 Content & Photography: Build Visual Trust
Online shoppers don’t get to touch your product—so your visuals need to do the convincing.
We help brands create imagery and content that:
- Shows realistic hairline use—front, crown, and temple shots
- Highlights textures—foamy, watery, or gel-like consistency
- Uses overlays like “No Alcohol,” “OTC Compliant,” or “Vegan Friendly”
- Combines clinical-looking elements with lifestyle vibes
Want to go big on TikTok or Meta ads? We also guide you on UGC-style video briefs, so creators can tell your story in real language that converts.
🧩 Speak to a Specific Niche—Not Everyone
Generic Minoxidil products are everywhere. But brands that connect deeply with a niche audience? That’s where the growth happens.
We help you tailor your positioning by asking:
- Who’s your hero customer?
- What’s their biggest concern—regrowth, confidence, daily routine?
- Do they want science-backed or nature-infused?
- Do they care about gender-neutral design?
- Are they shopping on Amazon, Instagram, or your site?
For example:
- For men aged 25–40 with receding hairlines: 👉 “Powerful 5% solution. Fast-drying. Non-oily. Proven.”
- For postpartum women or early 40s hair thinning: 👉 “Gentle 2% foam with botanical support. Designed for everyday confidence.”
- For clean beauty buyers: 👉 “Minoxidil plus rosemary, caffeine, and biotin—nothing more, nothing fake.”
This clarity helps your ads hit, your listings convert, and your customer feel seen.
🛡️ Compliance That’s Invisible to the Shopper—But Crucial for Survival
Let’s face it—FDA and Amazon don’t care how pretty your brand is. If your claims aren’t compliant or your Drug Facts panel is missing, you risk delisting, blocked ads, or customs issues.
That’s why we handle:
- NDC number acquisition
- Full OTC Drug Facts layout (including font size, border, and headings)
- INCI-formatted ingredient list
- Region-specific guidance for US, EU, and ASEAN markets
Your customer never has to see the compliance work behind the scenes—but it’s what lets them trust you, buy from you, and stay loyal.
A bottle of Minoxidil with a label is just a product. But a Minoxidil product with smart positioning? That’s a brand.
We don’t just want to help you launch. We want to help you build something that lasts—something that shows up on Amazon’s bestsellers, your customer’s bathroom counter, and their social feed. That’s what smart positioning unlocks.
Let’s build that brand—together.
Packaging That Converts: Foam Pumps, Dropper Bottles, Beard Kits & More
When it comes to Minoxidil, your packaging isn’t just a container—it’s part of the experience. We’ve learned that the right packaging does more than protect your product. It builds trust, boosts usability, improves unboxing impressions, and drives repeat purchases. Whether you’re building a TikTok-viral beard growth kit, a clean-label DTC solution, or a professional-grade hair regrowth system, we help you create packaging that fits your product’s format, your audience’s expectations, and your channel’s conversion behavior.
🧴 Why Foam Pumps Win on Speed, Cleanliness, and Shelf Appeal
For brands targeting male users, 5% Minoxidil foam in a pump is hands-down one of the most effective formats in the U.S. market. Most men don’t want to fuss with droppers or wait for greasy residue to dry. They want a quick, mess-free application that works with their morning routine—and foam delivers just that.
We typically recommend aerosol-free foam pump bottles, which not only feel more premium, but also perform better in humid climates. We can guide you on selecting options with locking caps (ideal for Amazon and retail), UV-resistant materials, and valve designs that produce a dense, consistent foam. If your brand leans clinical, we help you go with matte-finished bottles that match the tone of pharmaceutical-grade regimens. If your brand is lifestyle-forward, we can customize glossy finishes or bold colors that pop in photos and unboxings.
💧 Dropper Bottles: The Clean, Clinical Option for Unisex and Women’s Brands
If you’re launching a Minoxidil solution, especially at the 2% concentration for women, dropper bottles are a smart move. They allow precision dosing and tend to convey a more refined, skincare-inspired feel—perfect for customers who are already used to applying serums or scalp treatments.
We help our clients choose between amber glass, frosted glass, or PET options, depending on budget and UV protection needs. You can go with a classic pipette dropper or switch to a press-button dropper cap if you want to offer a slightly upgraded experience. We’ll also advise you on bottle sizing—1 oz (30 mL) for trial SKUs or subscription boxes, 2 oz (60 mL) for full treatment programs.
And because most women’s shoppers are focused on both results and sensorial experience, we make sure the dropper aligns with your serum texture—whether it’s water-light or slightly viscous.
🧔 Beard Growth Kits That Build Bundled Value and TikTok Buzz
Minoxidil has gone far beyond scalp use. Beard growth is now one of the most exciting subcategories in men’s personal care—and we’ve seen firsthand how the right kit design can elevate your product from functional to unforgettable.
We help you bundle:
- Minoxidil serum (dropper or spray)
- Microneedle derma roller
- Beard brush or comb
- Education card or mini-guide
You can package everything in a magnetic box with foam insert (ideal for gifting and influencer seeding), or go the eco route with foldable kraft boxes that cut shipping weight. These kits are fantastic for DTC bundles, and they photograph incredibly well—which matters when 70% of first-time customers come from a scroll, not a shelf.
📦 Drug Labeling That’s FDA-Compliant and Branded
Here’s the tricky part about selling Minoxidil in the U.S.: your label needs to follow OTC drug guidelines, but your design still has to look like your brand—not a generic pharmacy product.
We’ll walk you through:
- FDA-compliant Drug Facts layout
- Where and how to display active ingredient and usage warnings
- Placement of NDC number, lot/batch info, and expiration
- How to balance design, claims, and compliance—especially on side panels and cartons
We’ve helped dozens of brands thread this needle—delivering labels that look clean and modern while keeping you compliant with both Amazon policies and FDA spot checks.
🖼️ Design for Channel: What Works on Amazon vs Retail vs TikTok
One of the first things we ask our clients is: Where will this product be discovered? Because the best packaging for an Amazon thumbnail won’t always translate well to a spa shelf—or a 3-second TikTok close-up.
Here’s how we typically recommend matching format to channel:
| Sales Channel | Best Packaging Format | Why It Works |
| Amazon | Foam pump with bold label + Drug Facts panel | Clean, compliant, high visibility in thumbnail view |
| Shopify / DTC | Dropper bottle in branded box | Tells your story, delivers unboxing satisfaction |
| TikTok / UGC | Beard kit with insert and aesthetic box | Easy to film, high perceived value |
| Retail shelf | Matte pump bottle + outer carton with claims | Shelf presence, education panel, strong shelf impact |
🚀 Let’s Build Packaging That Sells Before They Even Open the Box
We’ve seen it over and over again: great packaging isn’t just protective—it’s persuasive. At Metro Private Label, we help you make packaging decisions that align with your formulation, channel, brand personality, and conversion goals. Whether you need a quick-turn solution or want to develop a signature look that tells your story, we’re here to support you from prototype to production.

How We Help You Launch Minoxidil with Confidence—Step by Step
When you’re building a Minoxidil brand—whether it’s your very first hair regrowth product or an extension of an existing grooming line—you want more than just a supplier. You want a partner who’s honest about what it takes to get from idea to shelf. At Metro Private Label, we’ve worked with dozens of emerging DTC founders, Amazon sellers, and international buyers who all had the same question: “How long does this take—and what’s the minimum to start?”
Let us break it all down for you.
✅ Sampling: Where Your Vision Starts Taking Shape (3–5 Weeks)
We typically start every project with a sampling phase. For Minoxidil products—especially in the U.S.—there are clear rules around what you can and can’t change in the formula due to FDA OTC regulations. That said, there’s still plenty of room to make it yours: packaging, scent profile (for foam or solution), dropper style, bottle feel, and outer branding all play a huge role.
Our sampling process takes around 3 to 5 weeks and includes:
- Finalizing your format (foam, solution, spray, serum)
- Aligning on the packaging specs: size, material, applicator
- Preparing the Drug Facts label and INCI list
- Crafting a compliant outer box and label layout
- Sending physical samples for texture, usability, and applicator testing
This is also when we review FDA monograph requirements and confirm all NDC codes and packaging specs match the U.S. standards—so you’re not stuck relabeling later.
🏭 Production: Full Run After Approval (4–6 Weeks)
Once your samples are approved and you’re confident in the look and feel of your product, we begin full-scale production. This phase usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks and includes:
- Confirming your packaging order (we’ll handle sourcing and QC)
- Batching and filling the Minoxidil formula at our certified partner facility in China (we only work with facilities that have proper OTC documentation and experience exporting to the U.S.)
- Running quality control checks, shrink wrapping, and boxing
- Finalizing export documentation and shipping prep
Our team manages this process closely—from label printing to carton loading—so you don’t need to chase every detail. If you’re launching with a deadline (like a holiday campaign or Amazon listing window), just let us know early. We build in buffers when we can.
📦 Minimum Order Quantity: Start Smart at 1,000 Units
Let’s talk MOQ. For most Minoxidil SKUs, our standard minimum is 1,000 units per SKU. This strikes the right balance: low enough for startups to test the waters, high enough to maintain quality and efficiency with our partner factories.
We’ve helped many new founders launch with a lean batch of 1,000 units, validate their offer through influencer marketing or Amazon, and then scale to 5,000+ units within a few months. Need less than 1,000 to start? We may be able to work something out with flexible packaging formats or co-packing options. Let’s talk.
🔁 Batch Runs, Flexibility & Your Growth Plan
We get it—demand is hard to predict early on. That’s why we offer flexible batch scheduling, especially for returning clients who want to reorder fast. We can hold packaging inventory for you, help forecast next orders, and guide you on how to batch SKUs (e.g., one foam, one solution) in the same run to reduce costs.
For example:
- Launch with 1,000 foam units → Validate demand
- Reorder 3,000 foam + introduce 1,000 solution variant
- Add accessories like beard combs or starter kits later
We grow with your brand—not the other way around.
💬 What First-Time Buyers Often Ask
Q: “What if I need samples quickly?” If you’re launching a pitch deck or prepping for a distributor meeting, we can often get you accelerated lab mockups for presentation (even before full stability testing).
Q: “What if I’m not sure how many units I’ll sell?” We’ll walk you through a forecasting worksheet and suggest a smart test quantity based on your sales channel (Amazon, DTC, wholesale, or barber distribution).
Q: “How do I know I’m compliant?” We review every packaging and label against FDA OTC monograph standards and help you get your NDC code ready before production begins.
🎯 Let’s Build with Clarity, Not Guesswork
We know there are a lot of unknowns when you’re launching in the hair regrowth space—but the process shouldn’t be one of them. At Metro Private Label, we’re committed to giving you clear answers, realistic timelines, and honest guidance. From sampling to shipment, we’re your behind-the-scenes team keeping things smooth.
If you’re ready to take your Minoxidil idea from draft to delivery, let’s start the timeline together.

Distributors’ Guide: How to Source Minoxidil for Export Markets
Let’s Make Regulatory Headaches a Thing of the Past.
If you’re a distributor or overseas buyer thinking about launching a Minoxidil line, we get it—you’re not just looking for a product. You’re looking for a smooth, compliant, and scalable solution. That’s why at Metro Private Label, we go beyond just manufacturing. We’re here to help you navigate the tricky stuff—like region-specific labeling, customs documentation, and formulation compliance—so you can focus on building a business that lasts.
🌍 Export-Ready Products That Comply from Day One
Minoxidil isn’t your typical cosmetic. In most markets, it’s treated as an Over-the-Counter (OTC) drug, especially in the U.S. That means there’s no room for error—your formula, label, and packaging all need to be on point from the start. We produce through a trusted China-based OTC-licensed partner facility that’s NDC-registered, so every product is backed by the right paperwork and compliance checks.
When you partner with us, we’ll help you source Minoxidil that includes:
- ✅ 2% and 5% solutions or foams that meet U.S. FDA OTC monograph requirements
- ✅ Registered National Drug Code (NDC) for U.S. sales
- ✅ Full set of documentation: COA, MSDS, CFS, production license, and LOA if required
- ✅ Backed by proper facility credentials that meet drug-export requirements
Even though our own Metro facility doesn’t manufacture OTC drugs directly, we’ve carefully vetted our production partner to ensure your product meets every international quality and safety standard.
🏷️ Custom Labels for the Market You’re Selling Into
Selling in the U.S.? The EU? Southeast Asia? Each region has different rules—and we help you comply with all of them.
For example:
- U.S. Buyers: You’ll need a compliant FDA Drug Facts label that includes active/inactive ingredients, proper font sizes, and direction/warning panels. We help you design it the right way from the beginning.
- European Clients: You may need multi-language labeling and ingredient names in INCI format. We support EU-style layout, terminology, and allergen labeling for French, German, or Spanish-speaking markets.
- Southeast Asia (ASEAN): Each country has its own rules—Malaysia may ask for BPOM-style labeling, the Philippines requires FDA registration documents, and Thailand needs Thai language panels. We’ve supported all three.
We don’t just send you a template—we walk through your label line by line to make sure it’s compliant and reflects your brand voice. Whether you’re a clean-beauty DTC brand or a medical distributor, we’ll match tone and regulatory language without losing your identity.
🚛 We Handle the Logistics So You Don’t Have To
Minoxidil shipments aren’t like shipping body wash. They’re often flagged at customs for having medicinal properties. That’s why we provide a turnkey export solution that includes all documentation and coordination between our production facility and your forwarder.
Here’s what we prepare for you:
- 📦 Labelled export cartons with the right formula ID, manufacturing date, and batch code
- 📄 Documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of free sale, and manufacturing license
- ✈️ EXW, FOB, or DDP logistics setup based on your preference (we support both air and sea freight)
- ⏱️ Clear timeline breakdown so you can plan pre-sales or retail launches
We’ve worked with clients shipping to the U.S., UAE, Australia, the UK, and across Southeast Asia—and we know what customs officers look for. Our goal is simple: help your goods clear smoothly so you avoid frustrating delays.
🔄 Scenarios We’ve Helped With
We’ve walked through this journey with clients just like you.
- A buyer in France who wanted Amazon-ready foam with a clean aesthetic—we helped localize the Drug Facts into French/English and meet EU import standards.
- A distributor in Singapore needed assistance getting product approval with HSA—we provided a compliant MSDS, COA, and ingredient list tailored to ASEAN standards.
- A Middle Eastern wholesale client wanted a strong masculine positioning for barbershops—we helped adjust packaging to fit local preferences while ensuring documentation met regional clearance requirements.
🤝 You’re Not Just Buying Product—You’re Buying Expertise
Minoxidil might be complicated, but your experience sourcing it doesn’t have to be. We understand that distributors have tight timelines, specific regional regulations, and local retailer requirements. That’s why we act as your full-service partner, not just your supplier.
You tell us where you plan to sell—and we’ll reverse-engineer the compliance, logistics, and label flow to get you there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Private Labeling Minoxidil
Let’s clear up what most brands want to know before launching.
When you’re thinking about private labeling Minoxidil, it’s not just about picking a product and slapping on a label. There are real questions around compliance, customization, documentation, timelines, and how to make your brand stand out in a tightly regulated space. At Metro Private Label, we’ve helped founders, Amazon operators, and distributors get it right—and we’re breaking down the most common questions right here.
✅ Is your Minoxidil formula vegan or cruelty-free?
This is one we get a lot. Here’s the deal: Minoxidil is a synthetic drug, and it’s FDA-listed as an OTC active ingredient. That means we can’t technically label the product itself as vegan or organic—even if the rest of the formula contains no animal-derived ingredients. That said, our inactive bases can be made with cruelty-free and vegan-friendly ingredients, like aloe, botanical extracts, or clean emollients. We’ll work with you to ensure your ingredient deck aligns with your brand values—while keeping your marketing claims 100% compliant.
📑 What documents will I get with my order?
We provide a full compliance and regulatory pack, especially critical if you’re selling on Amazon, shipping internationally, or launching into a regulated retail space. Here’s what you’ll receive with your order:
- COA (Certificate of Analysis) from the manufacturing batch
- MSDS (Safety Data Sheet) for safe handling and labeling
- CFS (Certificate of Free Sale) for certain export markets
- LOA (Letter of Authorization) from our partner OTC factory
- NDC Number (National Drug Code) required for U.S. drug listings
- INCI Ingredient List and compliance guidance for labeling
We’ll also help you match your packaging claims to what’s legally allowed in your selling region, especially if you’re dealing with Amazon or cross-border distribution.
🏷️ Can you help with label design and regulatory compliance?
Absolutely. We know how tricky it can be to fit all the necessary information—like the Drug Facts panel, usage directions, batch code, and caution statements—onto a bottle or box without overwhelming your aesthetic. That’s why we offer full label layout support, balancing branding with U.S. OTC guidelines. We’ll guide you through font sizes, panel positioning, and even ensure your claims like “FDA-Listed” or “Clinically Proven Ingredient” are safe to use.
🧴 What kind of packaging do you offer?
We’ve sourced packaging for every target audience—from men’s grooming kits to minimalist wellness brands. You can choose from:
- Foam pump bottles (great for scalp application with zero mess)
- Dropper bottles (popular for brow/temple or premium positioning)
- Spray bottles (ideal for even application on larger scalp areas)
- Beard regrowth kits with built-in combs and secondary packaging
We’ll help you match the right format with your audience and price point—and make sure your packaging is photo-ready for ecommerce thumbnails or TikTok unboxings.
🚢 Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do. We’ve worked with clients across the U.S., EU, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Because Minoxidil is a regulated OTC drug, documentation and customs declarations must be precise—and we take care of that for you. Whether you’re clearing customs in Dubai or setting up retail in the UK, we’ll help you with region-specific labeling, ingredient declarations, and shipping coordination from our OTC-certified production partner.
🧪 Can I develop a custom formula?
Yes—but with guardrails. Because Minoxidil is regulated under an OTC monograph in the U.S., you can’t change the active concentration (2% or 5%) or remove required elements like alcohol or propylene glycol in the base. But we can co-develop a differentiated product by adjusting the inactive ingredients. We’ve helped clients build Minoxidil products with:
- Biotin or panthenol for added strength
- Rosemary, green tea, or saw palmetto for botanical appeal
- Soothing agents like allantoin or aloe vera to reduce irritation
You can also choose your texture (clear vs milky), scent (fragrance-free or light botanical), and application feel. We’ll help you customize within the framework of legal compliance.
⏱️ What’s the MOQ and how fast can I launch?
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU, which gives most clients enough for their Amazon listing, email marketing push, and initial reviews campaign. As for speed:
- Sampling takes 3–5 weeks, especially if you’re tweaking the base
- Production takes 4–6 weeks once everything’s approved
- Shipping to the U.S. typically takes 7–14 days by air or 25–35 days by sea
We work with you to back-plan from your target launch date, and if you’ve already got packaging ready, we can move even faster.
💡 Do you offer white label options?
Yes! We give you two launch paths:
- White label (stock formula): Fastest way to market. You choose from our NDC-approved formulas, customize the branding and packaging, and go live.
- Semi-custom: You use the same approved base, but tweak the inactive layer (e.g., add biotin or a fresh scent). This adds ~1–2 weeks to the timeline but gives your brand a unique position.
We’ll help you weigh both routes depending on your budget, timeline, and channel (e.g., Amazon vs retail clinic).
🎯 Can you help us shape our product positioning?
Of course. We’re not just your manufacturer—we’re your brand partner. We’ll help you identify which claims are compliant yet still impactful (like “FDA-Listed Formula,” “No Greasy Residue,” “Dermatologist-Recommended Active”), how to create ingredient callouts, and even what type of imagery performs best for your platform—whether it’s Amazon A+ content or Instagram reels.

We’re not here to just fill bottles. We’re here to build long-term partnerships with founders, DTC brands, and distributors who want to win in the hair regrowth space. Our team combines regulatory expertise, sourcing efficiency, and a deep understanding of what makes a product not only compliant—but desirable.

If you’re planning to launch a Minoxidil product in 2025, you’re not just offering another SKU—you’re entering a tightly regulated, high-repeat market that demands both trust and results. At Metro Private Label, we don’t just bottle solutions—we co-create clinically backed Minoxidil products that meet U.S. compliance, look premium, and convert on Amazon, Shopify, and retail shelves. Whether you’re a DTC founder, Amazon seller, or global buyer looking for a U.S.-compliant supply chain, we’re your private label partner from concept to reorder.
🎯 We Help You Deliver Results Customers Stick With
Hair regrowth is a commitment—and customers don’t repurchase unless the product feels right and fits into their daily ritual. That’s why we obsess over every detail:
- 💧 Foam that spreads easily and dries clean
- 🧪 2% and 5% solutions with stable efficacy
- 🧴 No-drip dropper or precision sprayers for a better user experience
- 🔄 Optional add-ins like biotin, caffeine, or herbal extracts for added brand story
From scalp feel to bottle aesthetics to after-use residue—we fine-tune every touchpoint so your Minoxidil doesn’t just sell—it stays reordered.
🛠️ We Start with Your Brand Vision—Not Just a SKU
Before we quote anything, we ask the bigger questions:
Are you building a clean-label DTC brand with a TikTok strategy?
Filling a white space on Amazon with better packaging?
Replacing a factory that couldn’t keep pace with U.S. OTC rules?
Whatever your angle, we tailor your solution to your channel and audience. That includes:
- ✅ FDA-listed drug facts panel + registered NDC number
- ✅ OTC labeling that passes Amazon and retail audits
- ✅ Custom packaging (foam pumps, beard kits, dropper bottles)
- ✅ Ingredient callouts like “no residue,” “non-greasy,” or “fragrance-free”
🧪 Every Batch Built for Compliance and Consistency
Minoxidil is a serious product—and your production partner needs to treat it like one. That’s why we work exclusively with FDA-registered, OTC-qualified partners in China for compliant, export-ready manufacturing. Every batch undergoes:
- 📋 Drug facts panel and outer label compliance review
- 🔬 OTC monograph verification for U.S. sale
- 🧴 Compatibility testing for bottles, pumps, and sprayers
- 🚚 Transit checks for Amazon prep, DTC boxing, or export handling
We ensure every unit reflects your brand’s credibility and your customer’s safety.
🌱 Build Clean, Trusted Products for a Modern Consumer
Today’s customers read labels. We help your Minoxidil product meet rising expectations for clean, cruelty-free, and skin-friendly positioning—even in a medicated space:
- 🐇 Vegan or cruelty-free compatible labeling
- 🧼 Fragrance-free or no-alcohol claims (where applicable)
- ♻️ Recyclable or FSC-certified packaging options
- 🌎 Export-ready documentation kits (MSDS, COA, barcode, PIF)
Need to meet Amazon’s compliance checklist? Or fit into Sephora’s “clean beauty” expectations? We’ll help you get there.

- 📑 Country-specific compliance kits for U.S., EU, GCC, or SEA
