Baby Lotion Manufacturer Australia

Epilab manufactures baby lotion for Australian baby brands. Hydrating daily lotion, sensitive-skin formats, bath-time moisturisers and treatment lotions for dry-skin baby positioning.

All baby lotion made in Melbourne. Custom formulation and contract manufacturing under one roof.

What we make

Lotion formats from light, lightweight, hydrating, rich, treatment-grade, and ultra-sensitive. Packaging includes PCR plastic bottles, pump bottles, and tubes (with longer tube MOQ).

Two ways to launch a baby lotion

Custom formulation

Custom baby lotion is formulated around the target skin feel (lightweight, rich, occlusive) and any specific claims. Six to twelve weeks development. Emulsifier selection, conditioning agent loading, humectant balance, plant oils, and preservative system. MOQ starts at 500 units for pump bottles.

Minimum order quantities

Pump bottle MOQ starts at 500 units. Tube-packaged baby lotion starts at 3,000 units. Bottle formats start at 500.

Formulation considerations

Baby lotion emulsions use gentle emulsifier systems, low-irritation preservation, lipid blends that mimic the skin barrier (ceramides, fatty alcohols, cholesterol), and humectants like glycerin at moderate usage. Plant oils common in baby lotion include sunflower, sweet almond and jojoba. Fragrance is omitted or kept very low.

Cost transparency

Baby lotion unit cost depends on lipid loading, actives, packaging format and decoration. Standard daily baby lotion sits at the lower end. Treatment lotions for eczema-positioning sit higher.
