contract manufacturing for cosmetics

What is the typical MOQ for cosmetic contract manufacturing?

Minimum order quantities for cosmetics range from 500 units for smaller indie brands to 5,000+ units for larger production runs, depending on the manufacturer and product complexity. Lotions, creams, and serums often have higher MOQs than powders or anhydrous formulas. AJ Cosmo Labs connects you with manufacturers who accommodate various scales, from micro-batch to commercial volume.
