SkincareManufacturer
For indie beauty therapists & facialists · Made in Sydenham, Christchurch

Stop reselling Dermalogica. Sell your own.

Pick two proven skincare bases — Hydrating Serum and 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.

Why this works for solo therapists

You already do the hardest part — the facial.

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.

Smallest MOQs in NZ

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.

Look like a real brand from day one

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.

Sell at retail, not at thin wholesale cut

Stop earning 30% on someone else's bottle. Your own range, with your retail margin — your $40 cleanser earns you $25, not $8.

How it works

Two bases. Yours by next week.

Use our shelf-ready recipes first. Customise once you've heard what your clients actually want.

Try the kit

Free sample kit ships same-day to next-day — Hydrating Serum and Daily Moisturiser in unbranded packaging. Use them on yourself and a few trusted clients for a week.

Brand them

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.

On the shelf in days

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.

Iterate as you go

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.

The bases

Two bases. The take-home essentials.

The minimum viable range every solo therapist actually needs. Pick all three or start with one — the cream is usually the highest-margin take-home.

Base · 02

Hydrating Serum Base

HA + niacinamide. The retail hero — the bottle clients pick up at the door.

The product that makes a $90 facial feel like $90. Multi-MW hyaluronic acid plumps surface and deep dermis, niacinamide evens tone over a fortnight, and the watery texture layers under any moisturiser. Highest retail margin in the range.

Base profile: Low/mid/high-MW hyaluronic acid. 5% niacinamide. Panthenol. Light watery viscosity. Unscented standard.

Daily Moisturiser Base

Lightweight ceramide cream. Suits every skin type, every season.

The cream that finishes a facial and the one a client wants to keep using. Ceramides + squalane for barrier, soft cushion finish, glides under SPF or makeup. The forever-product in your range.

Base profile: Ceramide NP/AP/EOP. Squalane, glycerin, panthenol. Soft satin finish. Optional add-on actives (peptides, niacinamide, retinal).

Or start small

Don't need both — start with the cream.

Most solo therapists start with just the moisturiser — easiest to sell, highest retail margin, and a take-home that nudges rebookings. Add the Serum once the Moisturiser is flying off the shelf. Mention which on the brief.

Who's behind this

The same team that built PrimalPantry, Reviana & SkinClear.

A 23-person Christchurch contract manufacturer. We started by building our own indie brands — we know what it's like to be the small fish a distributor won't talk to. Now we make products for solo therapists too.
