Starting a skincare brand: how to prepare for a quotation
A useful quotation starts with a clear product brief. Rather than relying on a generic launch figure, define what you want to make and ask the factory to assess the complete project.
Define one product and one customer
Start with a product category, such as a serum, lotion or cleanser, and explain who will use it. Describe the desired texture, fragrance direction and intended use. A focused brief makes it easier to compare samples and decide whether a proposal answers the same need.
Separate formula, packaging and supporting work
Ask what the proposed scope includes: formulation, sample development, production, filling, packaging, artwork support and relevant documentation. A bottle and a decorated retail box are separate decisions. Confirm which parts you supply and which parts the manufacturer handles.
Discuss the intended sales market so the team can clarify the documentation and assessment work to plan. Do not assume that one market’s paperwork covers every destination.
Prepare these details before contacting the factory
- Product type and target customer
- Desired texture, fragrance and key ingredients to discuss
- Reference products or an existing formula, if available
- Target fill size and preferred container
- Label, carton and artwork requirements
- Expected quantity for each formula or variant
- Intended market and preferred launch window
If you are unsure about an item, mark it as open for recommendation. You do not need a finished specification before starting a conversation.
Review a quotation on a like-for-like basis
Check that each proposal covers the same formula, quantity, packaging and responsibilities. Ask how sample approval, material availability and artwork approval affect the production schedule. Keep the final approved sample and specification as a shared reference.
