What MOQ should I expect when scaling a transfer proof lip color with a contract manufacturer?

Most contract manufacturers that handle lip color set MOQs between 1,000 and 10,000 units per shade, with lower MOQs available for simple formulas. Transfer-proof products with specialty polymers may carry higher MOQs — 2,500–5,000 units — due to raw material minimum buys.
