What a private label skin care manufacturer should be able to fill
BioB Manufacturing formulates, batches and fills topical products in the same New York facility that produces the botanical extracts inside them. Emulsions, water-thin gels and anhydrous oils are all made on site, so a brand launching a multi-SKU regimen is not splitting production across vendors.
Creams and moisturizers
Oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions across light lotion through rich balm viscosities, filled into jars, tubes or airless packaging.
Serums
Water-thin gel serums and light emulsified serums, filled into glass droppers, airless pumps or treatment bottles.
Lotions and body care
Body lotions, hand and after-sun formats in larger fills, where the 8 oz and above minimum tier applies.
Sprays and mists
Facial mists, body sprays and toners filled into fine-mist and trigger packaging.
Botanical oils
Anhydrous oil blends and treatment oils built on carrier systems documented on the spec sheet for each formula.
Hair and scalp
Scalp treatments and hair care formats that share the same extract library and the same quality system.
What is the minimum order quantity for private label skin care?
The minimum for skin care and topical products at BioB Manufacturing is 5,000 units for fills under 8 oz, and 2,500 units for fills of 8 oz and larger. Most manufacturers will not publish this figure at all. Here it is before you fill in a form.
| Product format | Fill size | Minimum order |
|---|---|---|
| Cream or moisturizer | Under 8 oz | 5,000 units |
| Serum | Under 8 oz | 5,000 units |
| Lotion | Under 8 oz | 5,000 units |
| Body lotion or larger topical | 8 oz and above | 2,500 units |
| Spray, mist or toner | Under 8 oz | 5,000 units |
| Botanical or treatment oil | Under 8 oz | 5,000 units |
Minimums are per SKU and are set by the fill size, not by the category. Unusual packaging, kits and multi-phase products are confirmed at quote. Lead time is quoted against your packaging — component availability, not batching capacity, is usually what sets the date.
Three ways to bring a skin care line to market
Most brands do not need the same thing. Choosing the wrong route is what makes a launch expensive, so the routes are separated here rather than blended into one price.
Private label
Take an existing BioB formulation, put your brand on it and go. Fastest route to a shelf-ready SKU because the formula is already proven, already documented and already made here. Best when speed and predictable cost matter more than a proprietary formula.
Semi-custom
Start from an existing base and change what actually differentiates you — the botanical extract, the fragrance-free variant, the texture, the pack. You keep most of the speed and documentation of private label while owning a product that is not identical to anyone else’s.
Full custom formulation
Ground-up development with our formulators, including extract selection from the Bio-Botanica library. The longest route, and the right one when the formula itself is the asset you are building the brand on.
We make the extracts that go into your formula
This is the part of the supply chain most contract manufacturers do not control. They buy botanical actives on the open market, which means the identity, the lot-to-lot consistency and the country of origin of the most functional ingredient in your product all sit with a third party you never meet.
BioB Manufacturing is the finished-goods arm of Bio-Botanica, which has extracted botanicals since 1972. The extract in your cream and the cream itself are produced under the same roof, the same quality system and the same documentation trail. When a buyer, a retailer or a regulator asks where an active came from, the answer is one address in Hauppauge, New York.
- One origin for the active and the finished product, so lot-to-lot variation has one owner
- No import exposure on the active, and no tariff surprise buried in your landed cost
- Extract selection happens in the formulation conversation, not after it
- Ingestible and topical lines can be built from the same library, with one vendor and one quality system
How the private label skin care process works
Six steps from first call to released product. Nothing here is unusual — what matters is knowing which step you are in and what is holding the next one up.
STEP 01
Scoping
Format, fill size, target claim territory, channel and volume. This is the call that establishes whether private label, semi-custom or full custom is the right route.
STEP 02
Formula selection or development
Either you choose from existing formulations, or our formulators build one, including which botanical extracts carry the story you want to tell.
STEP 03
Bench sample
You get physical samples to evaluate texture, absorption, scent and appearance. Iterations happen here, before anything is scaled.
STEP 04
Packaging and compatibility
Component selection and compatibility with the formula. We fill client-supplied packaging where it passes compatibility assessment. This step, not batching, is what usually sets your launch date.
STEP 05
Production batch and QC
Manufactured under GMP with documented batch records and in-process controls in our FDA-registered New York facility.
STEP 06
Fill, label and release
Filling, labelling and release with the documentation package that goes with the lot. What is included is set out below.
Quality, testing and the documentation you actually receive
A certification logo is not a document. What matters to a brand owner is what arrives with the lot, because that is what a retailer, an insurer or a regulator will ask you for.
What comes with your production lot
- A Certificate of Analysis for the finished lot
- Documented batch records produced under our GMP quality system
- A product specification sheet stating the carrier system, pack size and format
- Safety Data Sheet where applicable to the formula
Testing that is scoped, not assumed
Stability testing and preservative efficacy testing are scoped with your project rather than bundled into a blanket promise. Which tests a formula needs depends on the emulsion system, the packaging it sits in and the shelf life you intend to print. We will tell you at scoping which of them your product genuinely requires and which are being sold to you elsewhere as reassurance.
Certifications held
NSF GMP, USDA Organic, Kosher and Halal, in an FDA-registered facility. Note the wording carefully: facilities register with FDA, and registration is not the same thing as approval. FDA does not approve cosmetic products at all, so a supplier implying otherwise is describing a status that does not exist.
MoCRA: what we are responsible for, and what you are
Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act the obligations are split between the manufacturer and the brand. Almost no manufacturer page states the split, which is why brands discover it late.
What the manufacturer does
Registers the manufacturing facility with FDA and renews that registration biennially. Manufactures to our GMP quality system and supplies the batch documentation and Certificate of Analysis for your lot.
What your brand does
In a private label arrangement your brand is normally the Responsible Person. That means listing the product with FDA and keeping that listing current, maintaining adequate safety substantiation records, meeting labelling requirements, and receiving and reporting serious adverse events.
Being the Responsible Person is not a formality and it does not transfer to us because we made the product. Confirm in writing who holds it before a purchase order is issued. FDA’s registration and listing requirements are published at fda.gov. Where a formula is sold as a sunscreen, an acne treatment or another OTC drug product rather than a cosmetic, a different regime applies entirely — raise it at scoping, not after the sample.
Why brands choose a US private label skin care manufacturer
A large share of the results for “private label skin care manufacturer” are directories and offshore vendors. Sourcing offshore is a legitimate choice, but it prices differently than it did, and the variables that move are the ones you cannot control from a purchase order: duty treatment, freight, and how long a component sits at a port.
BioB manufactures in one facility in Hauppauge, New York. There is no offshore leg in the active supply, because we produce the extracts ourselves. For a brand that has to hold a retail launch date or answer a retailer’s supply-chain questionnaire, a single domestic origin is worth more than a headline unit price.
One supplier across ingestible and topical
Skin care brands increasingly launch an ingestible alongside the topical. We manufacture both — private label supplements in liquid, capsule, tablet and powder formats, and topicals in the same building. One vendor, one quality system, one documentation package, one relationship to manage.
Private label skin care manufacturing: common buyer questions
What is the minimum order quantity for private label skin care?
5,000 units per SKU for fills under 8 oz, and 2,500 units per SKU for fills of 8 oz and larger. The minimum is set by fill size rather than by product category, so a 1 oz serum and a 4 oz cream carry the same minimum. Kits and unusual packaging are confirmed at quote.
Do you offer custom formulation or only existing formulas?
Both, plus the middle route. You can private label an existing formulation, modify an existing base into a semi-custom product, or develop a formula from the ground up with our formulators. Semi-custom is the option most brands underuse: it gives you a product that is genuinely yours without paying for full development.
Can I supply my own packaging?
Yes, where the component passes compatibility assessment with the formula. Compatibility is a real check rather than a formality — an emulsion that is stable in a jar can behave differently in an airless pump. Bring the packaging into the conversation early, because component lead times usually set the launch date.
Where do your botanical ingredients come from?
We make them. Bio-Botanica has produced botanical extracts since 1972, and BioB Manufacturing is its finished-goods arm. The extract in your formula and the finished product are made in the same New York facility under the same quality system, so there is no third-party actives supplier in the chain.
Are you FDA-registered and GMP certified?
The facility is FDA-registered and holds NSF GMP, USDA Organic, Kosher and Halal certifications. FDA registers cosmetic manufacturing facilities; it does not approve cosmetic products. Registration and approval are different things, and any supplier blurring the two is describing a status that does not exist.
Under MoCRA, who is the Responsible Person — you or my brand?
In a private label arrangement it is normally your brand, because the Responsible Person is whoever the product is marketed under. That carries product listing with FDA, safety substantiation records, labelling compliance and adverse event reporting. We register and maintain the facility registration. Confirm the split in writing before you issue a purchase order.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes, a Certificate of Analysis is issued for the finished lot, alongside documented batch records and a product specification sheet stating the carrier system, pack size and format. A Safety Data Sheet is provided where the formula requires one.
What is the difference between private label, white label and contract manufacturing?
Private label and white label both mean putting your brand on an existing formulation; white label usually implies the same formula is sold to several brands, private label implies some exclusivity or modification. Contract manufacturing means we make a product to your specification, whether that specification is yours or developed with you.
Do you run stability and preservative efficacy testing?
These are scoped with your project rather than bundled in by default. Which testing a product needs depends on the emulsion system, the packaging and the shelf life you intend to print. We will say which tests your formula genuinely requires, and which ones are commonly sold as reassurance.
How long does a private label skin care project take?
Timing is quoted per project, and the honest answer is that packaging component availability, not manufacturing capacity, is usually what sets the date. A private label SKU in stock packaging moves considerably faster than a custom formula in a bespoke airless pump. We will give you a dated schedule at quote rather than a range on a web page.
Can I get samples before committing to a production run?
Yes. Physical bench samples are part of the process before anything is scaled, so you can assess texture, absorption, scent and appearance in the packaging you intend to use. Ask for a formula sample kit in the quote form and we will put one together against the formats you are considering.
Do you manufacture supplements as well as skin care?
Yes. Liquid supplements including alcohol-free formats, capsules, tablets, powders, oral care and pet wellness are all made in the same facility. Brands launching a topical and an ingestible together use one vendor, one quality system and one documentation package rather than coordinating two.
