We work with businesses seeking U.S.-based cosmetic manufacturing services.

Yes. We welcome entrepreneurs launching their first beauty products as well as established companies expanding their portfolios. Every project must meet the applicable manufacturing minimums and technical requirements.

We encourage startup founders to prepare a clear product concept, estimated budget, target retail price and desired launch timeline before beginning development.

Yes. We evaluate projects involving new product development, existing formulations, contract manufacturing, filling and production expansion.

Established brands should share formulation specifications, production volumes, packaging information and quality requirements for review.

Yes. Our manufacturing facility is in New Jersey, USA.

For projects requiring specific country-of-origin claims, we recommend confirming the origin of the finished product, raw materials and packaging components separately.

• Facial skincare
• Body care
• Hair care
• Color cosmetics
• Sheet masks
• Cosmetic oils and serums
• Creams, lotions, gels and cleansers
• Fragrance development, blending and filling

We manufacture cosmetic products only and do not produce OTC drug products such as sunscreens or acne treatments. Not every formula, format or category is automatically compatible with our equipment or regulatory scope, so our technical team evaluates feasibility before confirming a project.

Yes. We offer custom product development as well as manufacturing using existing formulations.

Custom development creates or modifies a formula to meet your specific requirements. Existing-formula manufacturing evaluates an established formula for production compatibility, ingredient availability and required quality documentation. The best approach depends on your concept, budget and launch goals.

Our minimums depend on the product category and whether you need manufacturing-only or full turnkey service.

Manufacturing-only (packaging procurement not included):

Full turnkey manufacturing: our standard minimum is 5,000 finished units per SKU, subject to the packaging format and project requirements.

Manufacturing-only projects focus on producing and, where agreed, filling or assembling products using customer-supplied packaging. You procure the bottles, jars, tubes, caps, pumps, labels, cartons and other components.

Full turnkey covers a broader scope that may include formulation, ingredient sourcing, packaging procurement, manufacturing, filling, labeling and finished-product assembly. Full turnkey projects require a minimum of 5,000 units per SKU. The final scope is set in your quotation.

No. The 1,000-unit minimum for skincare, fragrance and body care does not include packaging procurement. Manufacturing-only customers supply compatible packaging to the approved specifications.

If you need us to source and coordinate packaging as part of a full turnkey project, the minimum is 5,000 units per SKU.

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit, an individual product variation used for inventory and manufacturing. Different formulas, fragrances, shades, sizes or other variations may be separate SKUs. For example, a 50 ml and a 100 ml facial serum may be treated as two SKUs.

No. The MOQ applies to each individual SKU. Ordering 500 cleansers and 500 moisturizers does not meet the 1,000-unit minimum for either product. Each SKU must meet the minimum on its own.

3,000 units per shade for manufacturing-only. A four-shade lipstick collection needs 3,000 units of each shade, 12,000 units in total. Full turnkey projects start at 5,000 units per SKU.

Manufacturing-only sheet masks have two options:

• Individual sheet masks: 5,000 masks per SKU
• Boxed sheet masks: 1,000 boxes per SKU, five masks per box

Both equal 5,000 masks, but the packaging and retail units differ. Full turnkey packaging requirements are reviewed separately.

Our standard minimums apply to commercial production. Development samples and lab-scale evaluation batches are separate from commercial orders. If you’re not ready for a full production run, we recommend starting with a product development consultation.

Commercial manufacturing involves production setup, equipment preparation, raw-material handling, quality control, filling, cleaning and documentation. Minimums spread those costs across the run so unit costs stay commercially practical and production stays consistent.

Our published MOQ is the standard requirement. Some projects carry additional technical or supplier minimums, especially with custom components, specialty ingredients or complex processes. We discuss any project-specific requirements during quotation.

Yes. We evaluate custom formulation projects based on your product category, texture, performance goals, ingredient preferences and commercial requirements. A detailed product brief helps us confirm technical feasibility.

Our standard custom formulation fee is $2,000 per base formula, credited back against your first two qualifying production purchase orders under the agreed terms.

Manufacturing, packaging and other separately quoted services are not included in the development fee.

A base formula is the underlying formulation of a product. It sets the core ingredient system, texture and product characteristics. Different shades, fragrances, actives or substantial modifications may require additional development. We confirm how many base formulas your project needs during technical review.

The fee covers formulation services and is credited toward qualifying production orders under the agreed terms. Refund, cancellation and unused-credit conditions are governed by your written agreement.

No. Development and commercial manufacturing are separate stages. The fee covers the agreed development scope; manufacturing is quoted on the approved formula, ingredients, packaging and quantity. Eligible development credits are applied under the agreed terms.

Yes, we evaluate requests to change texture, viscosity, fragrance, color, ingredients or positioning. Not every change is technically feasible, and modifications can affect stability, compatibility or manufacturing requirements.

Yes, after a feasibility review. We may need the complete formula, ingredient specifications, manufacturing instructions and available testing documentation. Acceptance depends on technical compatibility, documentation, ingredient sourcing and legal requirements. Formulas that are OTC drug products cannot be accepted.

We can use reference products to understand the texture, appearance, absorption, viscosity and performance you want. An independently developed formula may not reproduce every characteristic exactly, and all development respects intellectual property rights and legal requirements.

Yes. Include preferred ingredients or an exclusion list in your brief. We evaluate compatibility, stability, sourcing and intended use. The presence of an ingredient does not by itself establish a performance claim.

Yes, you can request formulas that exclude specific fragrances, colorants or other components, depending on the product’s technical needs. Claims such as hypoallergenic, organic, vegan or sensitive-skin suitable may require additional substantiation or supplier documentation.

Yes. Images help communicate texture, color, packaging style and positioning. Include them with a written description of the features you want.

Yes. Each product may need its own base formula, development scope and production MOQ. A collection with a cleanser, serum, moisturizer and mask is normally four separate product projects.

Prepare a product brief that includes:

• Product type and intended use
• Desired texture and performance
• Preferred or excluded ingredients
• Target retail price
• Product size and packaging preferences
• Expected production quantity
• Target launch date
• Reference products or images

Then send us your project and our team will advise on the right development process.

Yes. Samples are developed as part of an agreed formulation project so you can evaluate the product before approving it for production. Availability and fees depend on project scope.

Sampling fees and inclusions depend on your development package. Your proposal lists the number of samples, included services and any additional charges.

Yes. Send feedback on texture, thickness, absorption, appearance or fragrance. Revisions are evaluated for technical feasibility and may require additional development or testing.

The number of included revisions is set in your written development agreement. Requests outside that scope may carry additional fees.

You may run appropriate evaluations, subject to the sample’s intended use and any safety restrictions. Development samples are not approved for commercial distribution or sale.

Prototype production can be evaluated separately, depending on product type, equipment, materials and testing. Prototype quantities do not count as commercial manufacturing orders.

It depends on formula complexity, sample revisions, testing, ingredient sourcing and your response time. We provide a project-specific timeline after reviewing your brief.

Lead time starts once the formula, artwork, packaging, purchase order and deposit are approved. Timing depends on raw-material availability, component delivery, testing, production scheduling and quantity.

Expedited scheduling may be available depending on material availability, packaging readiness and our production schedule. Rush fees may apply.

Yes, as part of a full turnkey project. Depending on scope, this may include bottles, jars, tubes, pumps, caps, labels, cartons and other components, based on supplier availability, compatibility, quantity and lead time.

Yes, for manufacturing-only projects, subject to technical review. Components must be compatible with the formula, filling equipment, closure system and production processes.

Yes, we evaluate filling-only projects with customer-supplied components. We may need to review packaging dimensions, closure specifications, fill volume, material compatibility and sample components first.

Packaging sourcing and production coordination can be part of a full turnkey project. Graphic design, structural design, printing, tooling and custom component development are scoped separately. For printed boxes, see Custom Boxes.

Yes. Labeling, capping, boxing and other assembly can be included in your approved production scope. Availability and cost depend on the product and packaging.

Yes. You are responsible for delivery to the approved specifications and schedule. Imported packaging may need additional compatibility checks, documentation or inspection.

Packaging availability affects the production schedule, since manufacturing and filling are coordinated around approved formulas, raw materials and components. Please tell us about supplier delays as early as possible.

Two fully custom box types:

• Retail boxes: folding cartons, rigid gift boxes, magnetic closure, drawer and hang-tab boxes for the shelf
• Mailer boxes: corrugated boxes for e-commerce, subscriptions, PR kits and influencer seeding

500 boxes. Every box is made to order, so there are no standard sizes or templates.

Yes. The box service is available on its own or together with products we manufacture for you.

Every box is custom quoted based on style, size, material, printing, finishes, inserts and quantity. Tell us your target price per box and annual quantity so we can recommend the best-value option.

Yes. Mail a sample to Elvis Elvin Labs, Attn: Packaging Quotes, 335 Chambers Brook Rd., Branchburg, NJ 08876, or upload photos and dimensions. Include your target price and annual quantity. Start a box quote.

Materials include white cardstock, kraft, soft-touch and specialty papers, rigid chipboard with wrap paper, and white or kraft corrugated, with recycled and FSC-certified options. Printing includes full color, Pantone, white ink and inside printing. Finishes include matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch, foil, embossing, spot UV and windows.

No. Send print-ready artwork, a logo for us to lay out, or ask for full design help.

Yes. We support custom, semi-custom and customer-supplied fragrance projects, including blending, filling, crimping, labeling, cartoning and finished-product assembly.

• Vials from 0.5 to 4 ml (up to 30,000 pieces per shift)
• Rollerballs and minis from 5 to 14 ml (up to 24,000 pieces per shift)
• Retail sizes from 15 to 200 ml (up to 20,000 pieces per shift)

Capacity varies with bottle design, closure, labeling and packaging.

1,000 units per SKU for manufacturing-only with your packaging, or 5,000 units per SKU for full turnkey. Each scent and size is its own SKU.

Yes. We support sample vials, promotional programs, travel sizes, discovery sets and gift-set assembly.

Yes. Customer-supplied fragrance oil may be accepted after documentation, compatibility and manufacturing review.

Reference scents help us understand the direction you want. We develop an original fragrance in that style, and other brands’ names never appear on your product. Start a fragrance brief.

Costs depend on:

• Formula composition and ingredient costs
• Product size and fill volume
• Production quantity
• Packaging components
• Filling and assembly requirements
• Testing and quality requirements
• Special handling or processes

We prepare project-specific quotations rather than one universal unit price.

We can review your concept and discuss what’s needed for an estimate. A final manufacturing quotation generally requires a defined formula, packaging specifications, production quantity and manufacturing scope.

Your product category, formula status, desired size, estimated quantity per SKU, packaging requirements, target retail price, product positioning and launch timeline. For existing formulas, technical documentation may also be needed. Our project questionnaire covers all of this.

Usually, because setup and operating costs are spread across more units. Actual pricing still depends on the formula, components and production requirements.

It depends on the service. Manufacturing-only quotations exclude packaging procurement unless stated. Full turnkey quotations may include packaging sourcing and related services within the approved scope.

Shipping, freight, insurance and delivery are reviewed in each quotation. Unless expressly included, shipping is not part of the manufacturing price.

Deposits, payment schedules and remaining balances are set out in your quotation, invoice or manufacturing agreement. Please review the written terms before confirming an order.

Yes. Elvis Elvin Labs is a GMP-certified cosmetic manufacturing facility. Supporting documentation can be discussed during project onboarding.

ISO certification is currently pending. We are not ISO certified at this time.

No. Elvis Elvin Labs manufactures cosmetics only. We are not an FDA-registered drug manufacturing facility, so we cannot produce OTC drug products, including:

• Sunscreens and products with SPF
• Acne treatments
• Antiperspirants
• Anti-dandruff treatments
• Any product making drug claims, such as treating or preventing a condition

If you’re unsure whether your product is a cosmetic or a drug, share your intended claims and our team will review them before quoting.

Stability testing depends on the product type, formula, packaging and intended market. Where applicable, we set a testing plan during development or manufacturing review.

Microbiological testing, preservative efficacy testing and related quality evaluations may be required depending on the product’s composition, packaging and intended use. The testing scope is confirmed before commercial production.

In the United States, ordinary cosmetic products and ingredients generally do not require FDA premarket approval, with certain exceptions such as color additives. FDA registration or listing should not be represented as FDA product approval. Requirements depend on the product and its claims.

We discuss manufacturing documentation and testing requirements as part of project evaluation. The brand owner remains responsible for ensuring products, labels, claims and distribution meet applicable laws. Regulatory responsibilities are defined in the manufacturing agreement.

Yes, we can evaluate formulas for sensitive-skin positioning. Suitability claims require substantiation, and no cosmetic can be guaranteed to prevent reactions in every individual.

Availability depends on the product, formula ownership and agreed scope. Documents may include ingredient declarations, specifications, Safety Data Sheets, Certificates of Analysis and supplier documentation.

Depending on the project: incoming material and component records, batch manufacturing records, in-process checks, fill-weight or fill-volume verification, lot and batch-code records, packaging inspection, finished-product review and production traceability.

We manufacture cosmetics, which are intended to cleanse, beautify or improve appearance. Products marketed to treat, cure or prevent a condition are regulated as drugs, which we do not produce. We can help you keep your formula and claims within cosmetic scope.

Yes. NDAs can be reviewed before confidential formula or business information is exchanged.

Ownership depends on your development agreement and program. Ownership, exclusivity and usage rights are confirmed in writing before development begins.

That depends on the ownership and usage terms in your agreement. We recommend settling these points before development starts.
