Questions brands ask.
Which is better for a new skincare brand?
For most new skincare, body care, haircare and deodorant brands, Cosmetic Makers is the closer fit: you can start from one of 3,000+ stock formulas, and formulation, production, testing and fulfillment happen in one building, tracked in software you can see.
When is Celmark Labs the better choice?
Celmark suits brands that sell both skin care and liquid supplements, or that need USDA Organic, NSF or Health Canada certified production, at a similar 5,000 unit minimum.
Do both companies offer fulfillment?
Cosmetic Makers runs a 50,000 sq ft fulfillment warehouse in the same facility, connected to TikTok Shop and Amazon, with same-day shipping for orders in by 2pm EST. Celmark lists warehousing and distribution in its Orlando facility, but we could not find direct-to-consumer order fulfillment on its website.
