How to Launch a Skincare Brand with Low MOQs

(Without Compromising on Quality, Compliance, or Credibility)

Thinking of starting your own skincare brand, but worried that you’ll need to order 5,000+ units just to get started?

You’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges for new skincare brand founders is finding a manufacturer who’s willing to work with low MOQs (minimum order quantities) while still delivering high-quality, compliant products that are ready for market.

That’s exactly why we created Retail-Ready Formulations at Mayk — a low MOQ manufacturing service that lets you launch your skincare brand with as little as 50 units per SKU.

Whether you're a first-time founder, a content creator, or a business looking to expand into beauty, here’s how you can launch smart, lean, and fast with high-quality skincare products that are proudly made in Korea.

Why Low MOQ Manufacturing Matters

Starting a skincare brand used to mean huge upfront costs, long development timelines, and a lot of risk. For smaller brands and solo entrepreneurs, this often made manufacturing feel out of reach.

Low MOQ manufacturing changes the game by letting you:

• Start small, without large capital investment

• Test the market before scaling

• Launch limited drops or pilot SKUs

• Build traction before committing to high-volume production

The key is finding a low MOQ partner who can still deliver top-tier product quality, and credible manufacturing.

Step 1: Choose a Ready-Made Formula

At Mayk, our Retail-Ready Formulations are pre-developed, stability-tested Korean skincare products you can rebrand as your own — no R&D required.

These are real products — created by GMP-certified Korean manufacturers using proven ingredient combinations, clean formulations, and trend-driven actives. That means you get a legitimate product that’s truly retail-ready, not just a private label shortcut.

Step 2: Pick the Quantities That Work for You

You can now launch with:

• As few as 50 pieces per SKU

• The ability to scale gradually without pressure

• Flexible packaging options (you can choose if you want to produce with or without labels or boxes)

This gives you full control of your launch — whether you're experimenting with a niche product or building toward a multi-SKU lineup.

Step 3: Add Your Brand Touch

You don’t need a product developer or design agency to get started. With Mayk, you can:

• Apply your own logo and branding

• Use your own labels, or choose from our label templates*

• Customize boxes, or go box-free if you’re starting lean

And if you’re unsure where to start, we’re here to guide you through packaging choices that align with your brand’s vibe and values.

*Extra charge applies when you use our label design templates.

Step 4: Ensure Global Compliance

One of the biggest hidden challenges in skincare manufacturing is regulatory compliance — but we’ve already handled that part.

Every product in our Retail-Ready line is formulated to meet the most common global regulations, including the U.S., EU, and parts of Asia. That means you can register and sell your products without the worry of banned ingredients, unstable formulations, or red-flag claims.

• First-time beauty founders
