QUESTIONS
Low-MOQ questions
What is the lowest MOQ for private label tallow skincare?
250 units on our white-label products (tallow lip balm from USD 5.90 and daily tallow balm from USD 9.60 per unit at that quantity). Custom formulas start at 500 units per product.
Why not 50 or 100 jars?
Every batch carries the same fixed work: weighing, heating, filling, cooling, quality checks and a certificate of analysis. Below a few hundred units that fixed cost makes each jar expensive and the paperwork costs more than the product. 250 units is where it starts to make sense.
Can I test the market before 500 units?
Yes: launch on our white-label range from 250 units, learn what sells, then move your best seller to your own formula.
Do you sell samples?
We do not send free samples of the white-label range. A custom formula includes a bench sample shipped to you, and the white-label range ships with a batch COA so you know exactly what you are buying.
