Mens Hair Care Manufacturer Australia

Epilab manufactures mens hair care for Australian grooming brands. Shampoo, conditioner, styling, scalp treatments and beard care, all built to mens-grooming sensory and positioning expectations.

All mens hair care made in Melbourne. Custom formulation, private label and white label under one roof. The mens grooming category has been expanding rapidly and we work with both standalone mens brands and unisex brands that need a focused mens line.

What we make

Mens shampoo, conditioner, scalp treatments, styling products (gel, paste, pomade, cream), beard wash, beard balm, beard oil. Fragrance profiles tilt towards classic mens grooming scents (cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, citrus, woody, fougere) but we build to any brief.

Three ways to launch a mens hair care product

Custom formulation

Custom mens hair care is formulated to the brand sensory and positioning brief. Fragrance is often the major differentiator in mens grooming. Six to ten weeks. MOQ starts at 500 units.

Private label

Private label mens hair care uses our hair care library with mens fragrance and packaging. Three to six weeks.

White label

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

Minimum order quantities

Most mens hair formats start at 500 units. Tube-packaged styling cream and beard balm at 3,000 units. Beard oil in glass dropper bottles starts at 500.

Formulation considerations

Mens hair care formulation is broadly the same as unisex hair care with positioning differences in fragrance, branding and sensory cues. Beard care is its own sub-category with overlap to facial skincare. Beard balm formulation uses heavier waxes than head pomade. Beard oil formulation overlaps with face oil and uses lightweight ester blends.

Cost transparency

Mens hair care unit cost ranges across the same factors as the broader hair care category. Fragrance choice can move cost meaningfully if a designer fragrance house oil is specified.
