Hey everyone!

I’m working on some market research for a business concept related to the beauty industry and I’m wondering if anyone would be willing to share any knowledge they have on standard margins and/or manufacturing costs they’ve seen. I’ve attempted to research this information and it’s been challenging. This is specifically for skincare/hair care (not cosmetics).

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to message me directly as well!

Thank you and have a great day!

Usually $1-3 per bottle when working with a lab, more for hard-to-source or exxy ingredients e.g. Manuka honey. My experience is with smaller companies so I expect it is under $1 for companies with scale.

Hey! Thank you so much for your response. This is super helpful. Is this for skincare or hair care?Additionally, would you happen to know standard wholesale markups? I’d be happy to DM if you prefer. Thank you again!!

No worries at all. This is both skincare and haircare, though there is more variation in skincare costs because there tends to be a bigger variety of ingredients to choose from and places to manufacture. I don't recall exact wholesale markups but I know they varied brand to brand where I was.

Okay. Thank you very much again!

Any thoughts?
