What is the typical MOQ for domestic vs overseas cosmetic manufacturers?

Domestic US cosmetic manufacturers commonly accept MOQs of 250–1,000 units per SKU, making them accessible for indie brands at launch. Overseas manufacturers—particularly in China and South Korea—typically require 3,000–10,000 units to justify production setup costs.
