What are white label cosmetics?

A turnkey solution for entrepreneurs

White label cosmetics means selling cosmetic products that a lab has designed, formulated and manufactured, but under your own brand name. You don’t have to develop the formulas: you focus on positioning, design and sales.

It is an ideal model for:

• New brand founders
• Beauty professionals looking to expand their offer
• Influencers or beauty salons wanting to offer their own range

• No formulation costs
• Formulas with skin tolerance tests (depending on the reference)
• Faster route to market

According to a study by Verified Market Research, the global white label cosmetics market is expected to reach USD 14.09 billion by 2031, proof of how attractive this model is.
