When exploring the requirements for contract manufacturing, the most frequently asked question is: "What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for cosmetic OEM services?" Generally, those asking this question are individuals just beginning to venture into the cosmetics industry, or owners of beauty salons and skincare shops who have limited prior knowledge regarding the production process.

The unit cost for small-batch cosmetic contract manufacturing is inherently high. This elevated cost is often not attributable to the factory's production operations themselves, but rather to the associated packaging elements—specifically the containers, packaging materials, retail boxes, printing, new design concepts, and prototyping. When production volumes are low, the total cost of this entire series of processes is amortized across a smaller number of units; consequently, the cost per individual bottle or product unit appears significantly higher.

A professional OEM manufacturer is capable of providing brand owners with comprehensive, one-stop solutions—tailored specifically to meet the brand's actual needs through personalized, one-on-one service. Daao, for instance, possesses its own independent R&D laboratory to support these initiatives.
