Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pure Source help me with my product?

We are a full turnkey facility, helping our customers throughout the entire product development and manufacturing cycle. Pure Source creates your formulas, sources the raw material, supplies packaging as well as having our regulatory team review your product and artwork to make sure the ingredients are safe and compliant.

Does Pure Source compete with its customers?

Unlike other manufactures, Pure Source does NOT compete with its customers. We only manufacture products for other businesses and do not believe it's right to compete with our customers. This is a major differentiator as most manufactures will compete with customers once they see a customer's product is a success.

What type of products can Pure Source make?

Pure Source manufactures a wide variety of cosmetic and over-the-counter (OTC) products. Whether it’s liquid, cream, lotion, gel, stick, patch, or spray form we have you covered. Check out our x page to find more information on the specific products we make.

What is the minimum order requirement?

Our minimum order is 5,000 units. For bulk orders, the minimum order would be four 55-gallon drums.

Can Pure Source accommodate specific ingredient restrictions, such as vegan or paraben-free?

Yes, we formulate products to align with customers' goals. Whether it's a customer's personal banned ingredient list or a stores list we can help you.

Can Pure Source manufacture natural or organic products?

Yes, we make Natural and Organic Products. Pure Source is registered with QAI for the manufacturing of NOP and NSF/ANSI 305 Organic products.

Do I need to provide the formula or can Pure Source create a formula for me?

Majority of our customers have us create formulas tailored towards their exact needs. This can involve reverse formulating techniques to achieve already existing products with changes to meet the current customers claims. Only on minor customers do we follow their previous existing formulas. We help build customers brands which is why they stick with us due to our formulating knowledge. More developed customers come to us for innovating formulas and to create a brand’s Hero product

How long does Product Development take?

Product development generally takes less than three months for an approved formula. It takes around two weeks to make a sample and ship it for you to review. Some customers approve the first sample and others approve the third sample. On average, it takes around three sample revisions before a formula is approved and ready for mass production.

What are your prices?

We offer a wide range of pricing options to help your business grow. These vary based on your specific brand needs and objectives. Whether it's an affordable product featured in Walmart or a Premium product featured in Sephora, we can tailor the product's costs towards your needs. We encourage you to contact us for more information on pricing options for your business goals.

How much does it cost to start the Product Development process?

The sample phase requires a $1,500 dollar retainer which goes towards creating custom samples of your product. We tweak the samples until you are satisfied with them. If you do not place an order with us, we keep the $1,500 dollars for lab time. However, if you do move forward with your product, the $1,500 dollars gets credited towards your order.

How long does it take to receive a quote for a custom product?

It takes around 2-3 days to receive a quote. However, if there is a rare ingredient needed, it can take longer which we will advise you on.

Can Pure Source source ingredients and materials?

Yes, we are a Full Turn Key Facility that handles all the moving pieces of your project. We source ingredients worldwide from vendors that we audit, as well as test every ingredient that arrives at our facility, to make sure the material is safe and compliant. Certain ingredients have a longer lead time and we can advise our customers on this. Our buying power allows our customers to lower raw material costs.

What is your capacity for large-scale production runs?

We have no problem scaling customers products, which is why medium to large size customers choose to work with Pure Source. As an example, a customer came to us to develop an innovative skincare product with a starting order of 10,000 bottles. The customer presented the product on TV and it became an overnight sensation. The demand from retailers came pouring in. Pure Source was able to scale up their product run from 10,000 to over 1.2 million units per month, for nine months straight, without missing a beat.

Does Pure Source supply product packaging?

Yes, we can supply any type of packaging or component for your product.

What’s the difference between Custom Packaging and Standard Packaging?

Custom packaging offers a unique component that stands out and reinforces brand identity, but typically requires a higher minimum order quantity (MOQ) of around 20,000 bottles and a longer lead time. In contrast, standard packaging is less expensive, has a shorter lead time, and usually has a lower minimum order quantity of 5,000 bottles.

To see standard packaging please visit our Product Development page.

Can Pure Source accommodate special packaging requirements?

Yes, we can accommodate special packing requirements and kitting. Each packaging component has unique benefits, so speak to one of our packaging engineers to find out which package works best for your product.

What about getting the product tested?

Our products are formulated and tested to meet the exact claims a customer is trying to achieve. Pure Source’s Quality and Regulatory team of over 30+ professionals keeps our facility up to cGMP standard as well as keeps our customers product compliant and up to date with FDA regulations.

Who does Pure Source manufacture products for?

We do not disclose the names of our clients, or the products we manufacture for them. However, we can proudly say that many of the products we manufacture for our clients are sold at places such as Whole Foods, CVS, Rite Aid, Target, Walgreens, Ulta, Sephora, Kroger, Amazon, and other spaces.

Do you provide reports throughout the manufacturing process?

Yes! We keep our customers updated throughout the entire production cycle, including updates on raw material arriving, samples being completed, or regulatory comments regarding artwork. Being Full Turn Key allows us full transparency with customers.

Does Pure Source have experience with regulatory requirements for the beauty industry?

Yes, we have over 30+ professionals in our Regulatory department who can help guide our team towards making compliant products. Before any product is produced, our regulatory team reviews the ingredients and artwork to make sure everything is compliant. List more organization certificates?

What is Pure Source’s shipping policy?

We handle shipping within the United States. Outside the United States, customers are responsible for their own shipping. However, our shipping department can advise and answer any questions. Our shipping department can also help with special shipping requirements such as products going to retailers who might have specific receiving instructions, or to a residential area where a lift-gate may be needed.
