Request Private Label QuoteWhat Is Private Label Skincare?
Private label skincare is a manufacturing model where a brand puts its own name on ready-made, market-tested formulas developed by the factory. There is no R&D investment and no formulation risk — the product already works. At Skincraftlab, private label runs start at 500 units per SKU, chosen from a 270+-product catalog, with your branding, packaging and artwork applied by our in-house design team.
It is the fastest path from concept to shelf — approx. 20 days from order to delivery for standard SKUs — and the most common starting point for Amazon FBA sellers and new brand owners testing a market.
Who private label is for
Three buyer profiles order private label from us most often. Each one needs something different from the first order.
Amazon & e-commerce sellers
What they need: Need compliance paperwork, FBA-ready packing and a first run small enough to test a listing.
What we do: Start at 500 units, ship with COA, MSDS and INCI documentation, and pack to FBA requirements — multi-packs and carton specifications included.
New brand startups
What they need: No formula, no packaging supplier, and a budget that rules out a 10,000-unit opening order.
What we do: Pick a proven formula from the catalog, use our in-house artwork support, and get a branded sample in 3–7 days before committing to bulk.
Established brands expanding a range
What they need: Current supplier is slow, or the range needs a new format without a new formulation project.
What we do: Re-order an existing formula in a different pack, or add a format from the same lines — bulk runs approx. 20 days after confirmation with batch documentation each time.
What does private label skincare cost, and what is the MOQ?
Private label skincare starts at 500 units per SKU, standard catalog orders start at 1,000 units, and custom formulas start at 3,000+ units. Indicative prices are $0.08–$0.35 per sheet mask, $0.10–$0.50 per eye mask and $1.50–$5.00 per serum bottle, while final pricing depends on formula, packaging and volume. Branded samples arrive in 3–7 days, and bulk production runs approximately 20 days after confirmation. The catalog holds 270+ products, 200+ active SKUs and 90+ mask formulas. In practice most brands start from an existing formula rather than a custom development project. This is not the right fit if you need fewer than 500 units per SKU, or a fully bespoke formula inside a two-week window.

How Private Label Works
How does private label manufacturing work?
Private label manufacturing applies your brand to a formula that already exists, so no formulation project is needed before launch. The catalog holds 270+ products, 200+ active SKUs and 90+ mask formulas, with minimum order quantities of 500 units per SKU for private label and 1,000 units for standard catalog items. You pick the base formula, we prepare production-ready packaging artwork, and a branded sample ships in 3–7 days. Bulk production runs approximately 20 days after you confirm that sample, and unit costs are published by category — $0.08–$0.35 per sheet mask, $0.10–$0.50 per eye mask and $1.50–$5.00 per serum bottle. In practice this route reaches market months faster than custom development, but it is not the right fit if you need an exclusive molecule or a patented delivery system.
Which product formats can I private label?
Private label covers facial masks, eye masks, serums, creams, cleansers, toners, foot peels and silicone patches, across 200+ active SKUs and 90+ mask formulas. Formats include hydrogel, sheet, bio-cellulose, clay and sleeping masks, plus sachets, tubes, jars and bottles for leave-on products. Indicative unit prices at 500–1,000 units per SKU are $0.08–$0.35 per sheet mask, $0.10–$0.50 per eye mask and $1.50–$5.00 per serum bottle. Every formula is stability and compatibility tested before it enters the private label catalog, and cosmetic production licences (NMPA 粤妆20160335) plus SGS-issued GMP certificates (CN19/31476, CN19/31477) support export documentation. In practice the fastest launch is an existing formula in a stocked format, rather than a new format that needs new tooling.
What packaging options affect my unit cost?
Packaging options for private label skincare include sachets, bottles, tubes, jars and custom printed boxes, and packaging drives unit cost as much as the formula does. Sheet masks run $0.08–$0.35 per piece, eye masks $0.10–$0.50 per piece, and serums $1.50–$5.00 per bottle at 500–1,000 units per SKU. In practice the team works backward from your target retail price and recommends a format that holds the margin while keeping the unboxing on-brand. Custom box artwork is prepared as production-ready files inside the same 3–7 day sample window. Airless pumps and dropper bottles suit serum programmes, while sachets suit single-use formats and sample kits. This is not the right fit if you need bespoke moulds, because new tooling adds weeks rather than days to the schedule.
How long do samples and bulk production take?
Branded samples ship in 3–7 days, and bulk production runs approximately 20 days after you confirm the sample. Standard orders use a 30% deposit, with the 70% balance due before shipment. Lead times stay short because the 3,886 m² GMPC cleanroom in Zhongshan runs the whole chain in-house on 8 production lines. That covers hydrogel casting, liquid filling, sealing and patch assembly, so nothing is subcontracted. Export documentation is prepared while production runs, and cosmetic production licences (NMPA 粤妆20160335) plus FDA facility registration (FEI 3015316073) are on file for customs. In practice, buyers who need goods inside two weeks are better served by a stocked SKU than by a new private label run.
What quality checks does every batch go through?
Every batch is tested before release, covering microbial limits, pH, viscosity and stability, with batch documentation retained for each order. The factory holds ISO 22716:2007 (CN19/31476) and US FDA CFSAN Cosmetic GMP (CN19/31477), both issued by SGS and valid to 2028-09-03 (SGS, 2025). It also holds an NMPA cosmetics production licence (粤妆20160335) and FDA facility registration (FEI 3015316073). Environmental monitoring in the D-class workshop measured 126,079 particles per m³, which is 3.6% of the 3,520,000 limit for that grade. In practice this documentation package supports US, EU and AU market entry, but it is not sufficient for medical-device claims, so barrier and wound-care positioning needs separate regulatory work.
Available Product Types
How do you launch a private label product in 4 steps?
Launching a private label product takes four steps , from choosing a base formula to shipping the bulk order. Step 1 is choosing a base formula from the 270+-product catalog — sheet masks run $0.08–$0.35 per piece, eye masks $0.10–$0.50 per piece and serums $1.50–$5.00 per bottle. Step 2 is applying your brand, with logo, packaging design and labeling prepared as production-ready artwork. Step 3 is approving a branded sample, which ships in 3–7 days and includes one revision round. Step 4 is the bulk order from 500 units per SKU, where production runs approximately 20 days after confirmation and a 30% deposit starts the line. In practice, brands that fix their target retail price before sampling avoid re-quoting later, while buyers who need goods inside two weeks are better served by a stocked SKU.
- 1
Pick your formula
Browse the 270+-product catalog and choose the base formula that fits your positioning and price target — sheet masks run $0.08–$0.35 per piece and serums $1.50–$5.00 per bottle, with every formula stability-tested before it enters the private label catalog.

Apply your brand
Send your logo, packaging design and labeling requirements; the packaging team prepares production-ready artwork and confirms the format against your target retail price before sampling starts.
- 3
Approve the sample
Receive a branded sample in 3–7 days and check texture, packaging and labeling against your brief — one revision round is included before bulk approval, so the formula is signed off in writing.
- 4
Order bulk
Confirm the order at 500 units per SKU minimum; bulk production runs approximately 20 days with full QC documentation, with a 30% deposit starting production and the 70% balance due before shipment.
What you can customize
Private label does not mean a fixed product. The formula base stays proven; everything around it is yours to set.
What the certification means for your market
Buyers ask for different paperwork depending on where they sell. This is what we hold, and what it actually covers for you.
| Market | What applies | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| European Union | ISO 22716:2007 — SGS-issued, certificate CN19/31476 (valid to 2028-09-03) | The GMP certificate your EU buyer or retailer usually asks for; we supply the technical file your safety assessor needs for the CPSR. |
| United States | US FDA CFSAN Cosmetic GMP — SGS-issued, certificate CN19/31477; FDA facility registration FEI 3015316073 (MoCRA), with product listings on file | The facility registration and listing can be checked in the FDA portal, which is what US buyers and Amazon compliance teams look for. |
| China | NMPA cosmetics production licence 粤妆20160335 (valid to 2027-07-20) | Production legality for domestic runs, and the licence names the units we are approved to run (including eye-area and baby/child skin care conditions). |
| Social compliance | amfori BSCI social audit, monitoring ID 25-0314051-1 (valid to 2027-04-16) | Retail and marketplace supplier programmes increasingly request a social audit — this is the one they recognise. |
Certificate numbers can be checked with the issuing bodies; full documents are on the certifications page. Test reports, MSDS, COA and INCI lists ship with each order.
