Kids Skincare Manufacturer Australia

Epilab manufactures kids skincare for Australian brands targeting the toddler-to-teen age range. Body wash, body lotion, hair products, lip care, hand sanitiser and gentle face products for ages 3 to 12.

All kids skincare made in Melbourne. Custom formulation, private label and white label under one roof. Kids skincare sits between baby and adult: less restrictive than baby formulation but still gentler than adult products.

What we make

Body wash, body lotion, gentle face wash, lip balm, kids shampoo, kids conditioner, hand sanitiser and bath products positioned for the 3 to 12 age range. Fragrance and colour can be more playful than baby products. Often presented in fun characters or themed packaging.

Three ways to launch a kids skincare product

Custom formulation

Custom kids skincare is formulated around playful sensory experience (fragrance, colour, texture) within a gentle skincare base. Six to ten weeks. MOQ starts at 500 units.

Private label

Private label kids products use our existing library. Three to six weeks.

White label

White label kids products ready to ship with your label. Two to four weeks.

Minimum order quantities

500 units for most liquid formats. 3,000 for tube-packaged formats including kids lip balm in tubes.

Formulation considerations

Kids skincare formulation uses gentler surfactants than adult products but allows more fragrance loading than baby products. Colour can be added for the playful market positioning. Tear-free is often desirable but not always required at the kids age range. Active ingredients are still kept conservative.

Cost transparency

Kids skincare unit cost is similar to baby products. Themed or character packaging may add cost depending on the licensing arrangement (if any) and decoration method.
