The Skin Science Company makes private label products for beauty salons, beauty rooms, lash and brow studios, nail salons, massage therapists, day spas, head spas and wellness studios. Sell your own range under your business name, use it in your treatments, and start from 50 units per product, made in Melbourne.

Why salons and spas launch their own range

• Your clients already ask what you use. When the answer is your own product, the sale stays in your business.
• Retail that pays. Your own label on the shelf earns a better margin than reselling another brand that clients can find cheaper online.
• Your name goes home with them. Every bottle on a bathroom shelf is a reminder to rebook.
• Gifts and vouchers. A branded product makes an easy add-on to a gift voucher or treatment package.

Popular products for salons and spas

• Massage oils and massage balms
• Body scrubs and body butters

Starter range ideas

Most businesses start with two or three products that match their main treatment, then add more once those sell.

• Massage and day spa: massage oil, body scrub and body butter
• Nail salon: cuticle oil and hand cream
• Beauty room, lash and brow: face oil, cleansing balm and lip scrub
• Head spa and hair: hair oil and scalp scrub

Two ways to start

1. Your brand on our bases

The fastest and simplest option. Choose from our existing personal care bases, filled and unlabelled, ready for your label. There is no development fee, and the minimum is 50 units per product.

2. A custom product

Want a signature scent or texture that is yours alone? Our cosmetic chemist develops it to your brief. Custom products include a development fee, a first sample, one round of feedback and revision, and stability testing, which we require for every custom product.

Supplies for your treatments

Many of our salon and spa clients also buy carrier oils, butters and clays in larger sizes for use in treatments. See our wholesale range for bulk sizes.

Keep your wording cosmetic

Claims like pain relief, muscle recovery, healing or treating a skin condition can make a product a therapeutic good regulated by the TGA. Describe how your products feel and what they do for the skin's look and feel, such as softening, smoothing or moisturising, and you stay in cosmetic territory. A claims review of your labels is available if you want a second set of eyes.

How it works

1. Send your brief. The products you want, your scent ideas, packaging and how many units you need.
2. Samples. We make your first samples, from our bases or a custom formula.
3. Feedback. For custom products, you send one round of combined feedback and we make one revision.
4. Production. We fill and label your products in Melbourne, ready for your shelves and treatment rooms.

Your timeline and pricing are confirmed in your quote.

Extra services
