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 Sarati International the better choice?
When you want to test a market with very small stock orders, from 10 units per SKU, or need licensed OTC products such as sunscreen. Its custom formulas also start at 1,000 units, below Cosmetic Makers' 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. Sarati's FAQ says it does not do drop shipping, but it can send products to your fulfillment company.
