Bulk Skincare Manufacturers

Skincare In Bulk

When beginning your own private label skincare line, ordering your product from a bulk skincare manufacturer can be a great way to get started. But you probably have a lot of questions, like:

How much will it cost? Will it be a quality product? Where will the packaging come from?

Usually you could spend hours or even days researching online to find answers to these questions. But never fear! In order to put all that information at your fingertips, I have done the research for you.

In order to achieve the best comparison between bulk skincare manufacturers, I first narrowed my search to looking specifically for lotion in bulk. But it’s important to know that lotion is not the only skincare item you can buy in bulk. From foot balm to face cream, both the companies I cover here and our own company have a varied catalog.

You can click through their sites to expand your search. Just be warned: not all bulk skincare manufacturers are alike. Some have a more limited product line than others, and not all are of the same quality.

Flip through the Genie Supply Catalog to see our own variety. After viewing the other bulk skincare manufacturers listed in this blog, I have no doubt you will quickly begin to see the difference.

But, first, let’s take a look at 4 other companies.

My Method for Finding Bulk Skincare Manufacturers

How did I decide which bulk skincare manufacturers to include? One criteria was that they had to have somewhat similar products to offer, which meant skipping over the companies that only offered skincare “bases.” Using bases to make your own skincare products at home is possible, but that’s another blog for another time. For now, I just wanted to give you a sense of what kind of “private label ready” products are out there.

I also skipped over companies that would only allow me to see pricing if I created an account with them. Why? Because, if you’re like me, you probably don’t want to risk getting a lot of junk in your email inbox, and that tends to happen when you create an account anywhere online.

This left me with fewer options than I expected, but that just means I’ve saved you a lot of time scrolling and clicking yourself. Now you can sit back, relax, and review the 4 bulk skincare manufacturers that made the cut all in one place!

The Four Contenders in Bulk Skincare Manufacturing

Rainshadow Labs

The product: Hemp Lotion

Cost: 5 gallons for $228.09 (prices drop as quantity ordered increases)

The verdict: Although the price is somewhat lower than Genie Supply can offer, this lotion’s name can be deceiving. It does not use CBD as an ingredient — it only uses hemp seed oil. I’ll touch on that more a bit later.

For now, I will only say that this product and the next one listed (from Essential Wholesale & Labs) are the only ones that even come close to what Genie Supply has to offer. But if you’re wondering why their pricing is lower than ours, it all comes down to ingredients.

Essential Wholesale & Labs

The product: Hemp Lotion

Cost: 5 gallons for $196 (prices drop as quantity ordered increases)

The verdict: Very similar to Rainshadow Labs. This product ONLY contains hemp seed oil, not CBD. But it is still a better choice than our next two bulk skincare manufacturers.

BulkSkinCare.com

The product: Jasmine & Clementine Hand & Body Lotion

Cost: 5 gallons for $157 (prices drop as quantity ordered increases)

The verdict: In stark comparison to the first two bulk skincare manufacturers (and, of course, Genie Supply), this lotion contains neither hemp seed oil nor CBD. Instead, it is a very basic product with a very basic price.

DeEnterprises, Inc.

The product: Green Tea Lotion

Cost: 1 gallon for $16 (slight price drop as quantity ordered increases)

The verdict: This is about as basic as you can get, both in price and in quality, and they are upfront about the fact that they mostly sell to salons (not to people wanting to start their own private label skincare line).

They do have the lowest price out of all 4 of the bulk skincare manufacturers I reviewed: you could order 4 gallons and you would still only pay $56. But, as was the case with BulkSkinCare.com, they do NOT include hemp seed oil or CBD, so you get what you pay for.

The Genie Supply Difference

GENIE SUPPLY AND CBD

Update Sept. 9, 2022:

Unfortunately Genie Supply no longer offers private label formulas with CBD. All private label formulas linked to this blog can be offered in CBD for an additional customization price! Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding our CBD skin care services!

The product: Body Butter

Cost: 30kg for $950 (prices drop as quantity ordered increases)

The verdict: First, be aware that 30kg is roughly equal to 7.8 gallons. The Body Butter we offer is a part of our Diffusion line, which is the lowest cost bulk product we offer, but don’t let the price fool you. Our Body Butter is still made with quality ingredients because we never produce product we don’t believe in.

Check out all of our diffusion line products! Want to up the ante? Check out the mass market and luxury lines as well to view all of our formulations and pricing.

Even better? We just made ordering bulk easier than ever with the option to purchase bulk directly from our website and have it delivered to you!

The Major Value Add: In addition, when you order lotion in bulk from Genie Supply, you will receive a certificate of analysis verifying the content.

This gives you a lot of legitimacy even when you first enter the market.

In Summary

Using a bulk skincare manufacturer is a great way to get started when developing your own private label skincare line, especially on a budget. As our CEO told me, it is a “boiled down form of private labeling”.

But it doesn’t have to be your last step. Think of it more as a building block. You can always order more from the bulk skincare manufacturer of your choice, or you can move on to custom formulating.
