Guide
What are Organic Cosmetic Manufacturers?
There isn’t a single, universal definition of “organic” in the context of cosmetic products and manufacturers. Unlike vegan cosmetics, organic is not a fixed term and leaves plenty of room for interpretation.
Therefore standards can vary significantly from one manufacturer to another and from one country to another. Basically, any cosmetic manufacturer can claim their products are organic.
To provide reassurance to consumers and companies, there are a number of third-party certifiers for organic cosmetics.
Common certifications come from organizations like the EWG, ECOCERT, and COSMOS-standard, among others.
However, these certifications share common principles, such as:
- Source of Ingredients: The majority of the ingredients should be of natural origin and organic farming, which avoids the use of artificial chemicals and GMOs.
- Processing: The methods used for processing organic cosmetics should be clean and environmentally friendly.
- Packaging: Packaging should be sustainable and minimize waste.
- No Harmful Chemicals: Organic products typically do not contain harmful synthetic chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, which are often found in conventional cosmetics.
Note that “the majority of ingredients” is still very vague. While it basically means that more than just >50% of ingredients should be organic, most consumers think of 90% or more being organic when they think of organic products.
Organic vs. Natural Cosmetic Manufacturers
The distinction between “organic” and “natural” cosmetics is significant yet often misunderstood.
Natural Cosmetic Manufacturers
“Natural” refers to products that are derived from natural sources without synthetic additives, but this term doesn’t specify how the ingredients are sourced or processed.
Organic Cosmetic Manufacturers
On the other hand, “organic” products not only must originate from natural sources but also adhere to stringent regulations regarding farming and processing methods.
Organic ingredients must be grown without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and processed without artificial chemicals, ensuring a minimal environmental impact.
Therefore, while all organic products are natural, not all natural products are organic.

MOQ of Organic Cosmetic Manufacturers
The minimum order quantities (MOQ) for most organic cosmetic products do not differ significantly from those for “normal” cosmetic products.
There are two types of private label cosmetics and custom development.
1. Pre-Produced Private Label Organic Cosmetics (White Label)
There are two types of private label cosmetics.
The first are pre-produced products, mostly available in very low order quantities <500.
You will have a hard time finding organic products of this type.
2. Pre-Formulated Private Label Organic Cosmetics
The second one are pre-formulated (but not pre-produced!) products made for you.
They usually start at around >1000 units.
This is what you should look out for when trying to start “small”.
For colored cosmetics (makeup), it is quite common to use existing formulations. This allows multiple brands to sell the same organic lipstick in different packaging, for example.
Opting for such an existing formulation can save you time and money compared to developing a new one.
3. Custom Formulated Organic Cosmetics
For a custom formulation, the MOQ ranges from 1000–5000 units. Skin Care is on the lower end, while most makeup products are on the upper end of this range.
We’ve found that many skin care manufacturers advertise hundreds of private label formulations but hesitate when you ask for a catalogue (especially when it comes to organic products).
You’ll soon find out that most organic skin care manufacturers cannot hold up to their marketing claims.
For a custom formulation you should plan with a one time fee between €500 and €4,000 just for the development.
