MOQ depends entirely on the manufacturer, not the preservative system. Small-batch co-manufacturers often start at 100–500 units for indie brands, while larger facilities may require 1,000 to 5,000 units. Natural preservation ingredients like glyceryl caprylate are available in small quantities, so MOQ is rarely a preservation-specific constraint. On AJ Cosmo Labs you can filter manufacturers by MOQ to find partners scaled to your production volume.
