What a private label body care manufacturer makes for your brand
Body care uses the largest fill sizes in personal care, so most of it qualifies for the 2,500 unit minimum. These are the formats BioB compounds and fills in Hauppauge, New York.
Body lotion
Light to rich lotions in pumps, tubes and bottles, with botanical extracts and oils from our own extraction plant.
Body wash
Sulfate-free or conventional surfactant systems, fragranced or fragrance-free, in 8 oz and larger bottles.
Body cream and body butter
Richer emulsions and anhydrous butters for jars and tubes, developed from your benchmark or the catalog.
Body oil
Botanical and treatment oils in pumps and droppers, blended with the extracts we make in the same building.
Body mist and spray
Water-based mists and sprays filled into fine-mist sprayers, from 5,000 units for fills under 8 oz.
Hand and foot cream
Smaller-fill creams for tubes and jars, on the same quality system and specification process as the rest of the line.
Minimum order quantities for private label body care
Minimums are set by fill size, and most body care is 8 oz or larger. Lead time is about 12 weeks from approved formula and packaging to finished goods.

Why brands choose a US private label body care manufacturer
We make the botanical extracts
BioB is the contract manufacturing division of Bio-Botanica, which has extracted botanicals in New York since 1972. Your actives are not bought from a middle supplier.
Made fresh to order
Every lot is compounded and filled for your order. There is no pre-made stock waiting for a label.
Minimums that fit a launch
2,500 units per SKU for the 8 oz and larger fills that make up most body care, 5,000 for smaller fills.
One US site
Extraction, compounding, filling, testing and release happen in one 160,000 sq ft facility in Hauppauge, New York.
Skin, hair and body under one roof
A body lotion, a face serum and a shampoo can run on the same quality system with one point of contact.
We tell you what you own
Private label formulas stay ours; a custom formula developed to your specification is yours and is not offered to anyone else.
What is made in house
Most body care manufacturers buy their botanical extracts from an ingredient supplier. BioB is the contract manufacturing division of Bio-Botanica, which has made botanical extracts in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, so the extracts in your body lotion or body oil and the finished product come from the same building and the same quality system.
Botanical extraction
More than 20,000 kg of botanicals extracted per week across glycerin, water, alcohol-free and propylene glycol systems, giving formulators cosmetic-grade extracts that are documented from raw plant to finished lot.
Compounding
Liquid compounding from 50 to 3,300 gallons, covering pilot runs through full production for emulsions, gels, oils and cleansing systems.
Filling
Droppers, airless pumps, jars, tubes, treatment bottles, fine-mist and trigger sprays, and larger body-care fills.
On-site QC and microbiology
Identity, assay and micro testing in house with HPLC, UPLC-MS/MS, GC/MS, LC/MS and ICP/MS, so release does not wait on an outside lab.
Custom extracts and blends
Proprietary botanical blends and standardized extracts developed for a single brand, which no other customer can order.
Spray and vacuum drying
Spray drying up to 100 kg per hour and vacuum tray drying for powdered extracts used in masks, cleansers and dry formats.
Quality, documentation and MoCRA
Body care is a cosmetic under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act. Here is how the responsibilities divide between BioB and your brand.
What BioB holds
FDA facility registration, NSF GMP and FSSC 22000 certification, the master formula and batch records, the release test results for every lot, and the raw material documentation for every extract we produce.
What your brand holds
The product listing with FDA, the safety substantiation file, labeling and adverse event records. We supply the manufacturing-side information that file depends on, in writing, before the first run.
Certifications
NSF GMP, FSSC 22000, FDA-registered facility, USDA Organic, Kosher and Halal. Certification scope is confirmed per product at quote.
Documentation with every lot
Certificate of analysis against the agreed specification, batch record summary, and the technical and safety data sheets for the extracts used.
Specification sign-off
The specification and test panel are fixed in writing at sample approval, so release criteria are agreed before production, not negotiated after.
Label review
You supply the artwork; we check the ingredient declaration and panel against the product before the run.

Private label body care manufacturing: common buyer questions
What are your minimum order quantities?
2,500 units per SKU for fills of 8 oz and larger, which covers most body lotion, body wash, body cream and body butter. Fills under 8 oz, such as body oils, mists and hand creams, start at 5,000 units.
How long does it take?
About 12 weeks from approved formula and packaging to finished goods. Packaging component availability, not manufacturing capacity, is what usually moves the date.
Private label or custom: which do I need?
Private label puts your brand on a formula from our catalog that is already in the market through other brands. Custom means the specification is yours, developed from your benchmark or brief, and no one else can order it. Both run on the same minimums.
What is private label body care?
Finished body products a manufacturer has already developed, sold under your brand. You choose the product, the pack and the label; the formula belongs to the manufacturer. BioB makes body lotion, body wash, body cream, body oil and body mist this way, with the botanical extracts produced in the same facility.
What is the difference between private label and white label?
Private label is a formula the manufacturer owns, made to order under your brand to an agreed specification. White label is pre-made stock sold to any brand that puts a label on it. BioB does not white label; every lot is made to order.
Can I get samples before committing?
Yes. Catalog products can be sampled as they are; a modified or custom formula is sampled once the formulation is made. Samples come after the preliminary quote so you know the numbers first.
Who is the Responsible Person under MoCRA?
Normally the brand. BioB registers and maintains the facility with FDA and supplies the batch records, specification and COA. The brand, as Responsible Person, lists the product with FDA and holds the safety substantiation file. We supply the manufacturing-side information that file depends on.
Can you make fragrance-free or sulfate-free body care?
Yes. Tell us the exclusions at the scope call, whether fragrance-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free or a retailer's ingredient standard, and the formula is developed or selected to meet them. The exclusions are written into the specification you approve.
Do you make the botanical extracts in your formulas?
Yes. BioB is the contract manufacturing division of Bio-Botanica, which has produced botanical extracts in Hauppauge, New York since 1972. The extracts in your product and the product itself are made in the same facility under the same quality system.
Can you supply packaging?
Yes. We source pumps, tubes, jars, bottles and sprayers from our component suppliers, or fill into components you supply. Component lead time is set out in the quote because it is the usual driver of the delivery date.
