cosmetic formulator who works with indie brands

What is a realistic MOQ when working with an indie-focused cosmetic formulator?

At the prototype and stability-testing phase, most indie-friendly formulators work with batches as small as 1–5 kg. For first production runs, co-packers connected through formulators typically require 100–500 units per SKU depending on packaging format. AJ Cosmo Labs lets you filter manufacturers and formulators by the MOQ they accept, so you avoid wasting time on suppliers whose minimums your brand can't yet meet.
