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 Radical Cosmetics the better choice?
Radical Cosmetics fits brands that want makeup made in house, with color minimums of 2,000 units per SKU and stock private label makeup sold by the pound. Cosmetic Makers makes skin, body and hair care and handles makeup through its partner Lady Burd.
