Do North Carolina cosmetic manufacturers work with indie or small brands, not just large companies?

Yes — several North Carolina facilities specifically target indie founders with flexible MOQs, dedicated account managers, and formula co-development services. However, some larger CMOs in the state require 5,000+ unit minimums and may deprioritize small runs. AJ Cosmo Labs tags manufacturers by their indie-friendliness so founders can identify suitable partners without submitting RFQs to facilities that won't realistically take their business.
