Real Skincare Launch
A UK Aesthetician Launched a 6-SKU Skincare Line in 42 Days.
Starting PointRebecca was a UK aesthetician with 8K Instagram followers who kept recommending commercial skincare products to clients. Margins on reselling: 0%. Client complaints: constant (“your recommended brand changed their formula”). She wanted control.

OutcomeFull line launched 42 days from brief. First 500 units of her hero serum sold out in 22 days via Instagram + existing client base. Reorder at 1,000 units per SKU at day 45. Revenue £28K in first 60 days. Margin: 61%.

Skincare Private Label FAQ
What You Need to Know Before Your First Run.
Can you develop a custom formula, or only private-label existing ones?
Both. Private labeling an existing formula is fastest (30-day launch). Custom formulation from scratch runs 60–90 days with minimum 2,000 unit commitment due to lab R&D costs. Most brands start with private label to validate demand, then custom-formulate a V2.
What about FDA registration and compliance for the US market?
Factories we work with are already FDA-registered (facility + responsible person). Product-specific compliance (OTC ingredients like SPF or retinol) requires separate registration — we coordinate but filing is in your company’s name. Non-OTC cosmetics need only ingredient compliance and proper labeling, which is included.
Can I sell in the EU? What’s required?
Yes. EU requires CPNP notification (Cosmetic Product Notification Portal), a Product Information File (PIF), and a designated Responsible Person (RP) in the EU. We handle CPNP filing and PIF compilation. You either designate an in-house RP or use our partnered EU RP service (£300–£500 per year per product).
How do I choose between different product categories to start?
Serums are the highest-margin entry point (45–65% gross margin) and highest customer repeat rates. Cleansers offer lowest cost barrier but most competition. Sheet masks are impulse purchases (great for social traffic). We recommend choosing based on your audience’s skin concern and your content angle — not just margin.
What about stability testing and shelf life?
Standard stability: 24-month shelf life from manufacture. We can provide accelerated stability data (3–6 month real-time equivalents) for new formulas. For Amazon / major retailer approval, stability reports are required — we produce them at your request ($300–$800 per formula).
Cruelty-free / vegan / clean beauty certifications?
We have factories certified Leaping Bunny (cruelty-free), PETA vegan, and EWG Verified. COSMOS-certified organic is available but requires higher MOQs (1,000+) due to certification overhead. Specify your certification needs at the brief stage and we match to compliant factories.
