Pick three proven skincare bases — Cleanser, Hydrating Serum, Daily Moisturiser. We label them under your name and ship in days. Hand a client a bottle at the end of every facial with your brand on it, not the agency's. Smallest MOQs in NZ — you don't need a warehouse to start.

Your clients trust your hands and your taste. The only thing standing between you and a take-home bottle with your name on it is a manufacturer that'll let you start small. We will.
Start with 5 litres of base — about 40 cream jars or 165 30 ml serum bottles. No distributor case-pack, no 1,000-unit factory minimum. The number you actually need for your client list.
Your own label, custom packaging, batch + best-before stamping. Looks like a brand a client could find on Instagram — not a sticker on someone else's bottle.
Stop earning 30% on someone else's bottle. Your own range, with your retail margin — your $40 cleanser earns you $25, not $8.
Use our shelf-ready recipes first. Customise once you've heard what your clients actually want.
Free sample kit ships same-day to next-day — Cleanser, Serum, Moisturiser in unbranded packaging. Use them on yourself and a few trusted clients for a week.
Approve your label artwork (we design it for you if you don't have a brand yet — most solo therapists don't, and that's fine). Pick frosted bottles, ceramic-feel jars, or simple glass.
Your first run ships within 1–2 weeks of label sign-off. 5 L of base = ~40 cream jars and ~165 serum droppers. Plenty for your first 30–60 clients.
After 1–2 months you'll know what your clients ask to take home. Tweak the recipe with us — add an active, change the scent, adjust the weight. Three rounds included for your second run.
Most solo facialists start with Moisturiser as the take-home hero. Add Body Oil for facial slip + post-treatment retail, and Liquid Hand Soap for your basin.

Ceramide + squalane base. Glides under SPF as a day cream, doubles as a richer night cream. Optional actives — niacinamide, peptides, retinal — labelled appropriately.
Sweet almond + jojoba. Scent-led.
Light-feel carrier-oil base ready for your signature scent. Optional NZ-native skin-claim add-ins — rosehip, blackcurrant seed, sea buckthorn.
Most solo therapists start with just the Moisturiser as a take-home — it's the easiest sell at the end of a facial and the highest retail margin. Add the others as the shelf grows.
