What’s Small Batch Beauty?

If you love highly effective skincare paired with highly educated professionals, it’s time for you to take a look at small-batch beauty.

Small batch beauty is a production method in which products are made in much smaller amounts than conventional products. In this form of production, products are typically handmade rather than made by machines. This allows beauty brands to minimize waste, avoid overproduction, and design formulations specific to their clientele.

The number of products made is much smaller which means small batch production is also either low or zero-emission. Smaller quantities can ensure a fresher product, proper storage and packaging, use of natural preservatives, and well-thought-out products that provide results.

When I started out on my skincare journey, I was overwhelmed by the number of options. After Esthetics school, I was even more overwhelmed by the different professional skincare lines. As a formulator, it’s taken years of time and research to learn how to read labels, investigate ingredients and choose ingredients that I know will help others achieve beautiful skin. We make our products in-house using GMP (good manufacturing practices), good manufacturing practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to specific quality standards.

This trend has consistently grown over the last few years, but it is by no means a new concept. Brands choose this method of production for sustainability, ethics, exclusivity, and perfection, just to name a few. In the end, you receive a product that has undergone conscientious human quality control but also a lot of love, consideration, and attention. Small batch beauty is in kind to 5-Star Hotels and Michelin Star restaurants. The expectation is a superb product and a desire for simple luxury that comes in the form of a daily product to start your morning off right or create the perfect ending to a normal day.

Small batch skincare companies know their products inside and out. There are many companies, big and small, professional and over-the-counter that use third-party manufacturers, usually known as white label or private label. This is a quick way to bring products to market on a large scale. Let me first say that there is nothing wrong with private label products - I just prefer the familiarity and the thoughtfulness that one gets with small-batch skincare formulation. We can control which ingredient suppliers we support, when a formula needs to be adjusted in some way due to the availability of ingredients, we can make those decisions ourselves and for our customers' highest good. When you’re talking small-batch, it’s created in such a way that you know the product much more intimately. This means that we have full control over both the quality of production and most important of all, the quality of the ingredients.
