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 Cohere Beauty the better choice?
When you need fragrance, sachets or powders, or capacity across three plants and 55 filling lines. It also lists a library of 10,000 formulations and ISO 22716 certification.
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. Cohere Beauty lists 800,000 sq ft of manufacturing and warehousing space and a ship product step, but we could not find order fulfillment services on its website.
