Small Batch Skincare Manufacturer: Inside a 500-Bottle Serum Run

Want to see what a small batch skincare manufacturer actually does? In this short video, our founder walks through a real custom serum order, from a butterfly pea flower infusion to 500 finished bottles, all made in our Toronto lab.

What a small batch skincare manufacturer does, step by step

For this client we developed a plant-based serum built around butterfly pea flower. Start to finish, the run looked like this:

  • Infuse the botanicals overnight, then press out the extract
  • Filter it down to a clear, uniform base
  • Blend with antioxidants in our overhead mixer
  • Fill all 500 bottles in-house
  • Run quality control in-house
  • Apply labels, and the order ships

The result is a serum with a deep indigo-blue colour that shines on the skin, produced in a controlled, low-volume run.

Why small batch works for new brands

Small batch manufacturing lets you launch or test a product without a huge upfront order. You keep control of quality, move faster, and scale when the demand is there. We start custom manufacturing from 250 units and handle formulation, filling, QC and packaging under one roof, in Toronto, for brands across Canada and the US.
