contract manufacturing for cosmetics

Can I get samples before committing to a full production run?

Yes. Most contract manufacturers offer pilot batches or sample runs at 10–20% of full MOQ costs, allowing formula testing and shelf-life validation before committing. Sample production typically takes 3–4 weeks. This de-risks your launch and ensures formula-market fit. Connect with sample-friendly manufacturers directly through AJ Cosmo Labs.
