Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add SPF to my private label face cream?
Yes, but SPF products in Canada are regulated as drugs (not cosmetics), requiring a Drug Identification Number (DIN). This adds regulatory complexity and cost. Many brands launch without SPF first, then add an SPF moisturizer as a second SKU once their brand is established.
Can I use retinol in my face cream?
Yes. Retinol (vitamin A) can be used in cosmetic face creams in Canada at appropriate concentrations. Retinol creams should include appropriate warnings about sun sensitivity and avoid claims that characterize the product as a drug.
What is the minimum order quantity for private label face cream?
MOQ depends on formula complexity and packaging. Custom formulas with specialized packaging typically start at 500–1,000 units. Stock formula options are available at lower MOQs. Contact our team for a specific quote.
Does Welsdom provide custom face cream formulation?
Yes. Our custom formulation service covers face creams and all skincare categories. We develop formulas to your specification including texture, actives, fragrance preferences, and clean ingredient standards.
