What MOQ should I expect for a private-label essence similar to SK-II?

MOQs vary significantly by region. South Korean K-Beauty OEMs typically require 1,000–3,000 units; Japanese manufacturers often start at 2,000–5,000 units; US-based labs can go as low as 500 units. Fill volume, bottle format, and ferment purity all affect the minimum. On AJ Cosmo Labs, you can filter manufacturers by MOQ range before even sending a message, saving weeks of back-and-forth.
