What is the difference between white label and private label skincare manufacturing?

White label means you apply your branding to a pre-existing, off-the-shelf formula the manufacturer already produces — faster and cheaper, but the same formula may be sold to competitors. Private label (custom) means a formula developed exclusively for your brand. Private label typically costs 30–60% more upfront but gives you full formula ownership and differentiation.
