Here is a quick guide to helping you understand what we do, and answers to questions we are often asked.

Chances are that you have started your research on what it takes to have your own line of natural and organic private label skin care products. And chances are you understand this can be a multifaceted process. At Wild West Skincare, our focus is to simplify this process for you by drawing together all the pieces required that meet your needs and budgets.

More on The Process:

1. The Consultation: During this meeting, we will discuss your project, your vision, your brand, your timeline and your goals – including your budget. Our focus is to ensure we understand what you are hoping to accomplish and achieve for your customers and your business. In that way we can best identify how we can best assist you in achieving your goals.

2. The Products: Based on your objectives and budget we will work with you to identify the best products for your skincare line. We encourage you to test our products by ordering our sample kit. The stock products we carry are listed in our product catalog, both the catalog and our 2018 Sample Kit are located online. If you want a to try a product not available in our 2018 Sample Kit, you are free to order any of our Back-Bar sizes without purchasing a Brand Creation. 

3. The Packaging: We offer a set house packaging that consists of Amber containers with black tops, this packaging for you is quality and recyclable – it includes bottles, jars, pumps, sprays, and closures. Looking for something different? You can also source unique packaging, have it sent to us and we will sell you the gallon sizes of our product that we will fill from. There will be a filling fee based on the different steps that you want us to do for your order. 

4. The Labeling: A key component to your product success will be the labeling solution you choose. We offer a few levels of label options depending upon the containers you choose and your budget. For small runs and market tests, we offer a very cost effective in-house printing solution – with Vinyl Matte Bopp Four Color Water Resistant Labels. You can also print your label art with a third party printer, then send it to us for labeling. Once we understand your label needs we can provide cost estimates for your project.

Statement of Organic Variation: 

Our products are handcrafted according to our own, original recipes.  Every batch is made in small, quality controlled amounts. They are mixed, poured and prepared by hand. 

Regarding our handmade products: We use multiple organic elements that are added separately following requirements for that product. This creates variations in the appearance of each individual products within the same order as well as different batches. The products you receive will not be an exact match to the products received in your last order. This is a good thing! It means that our dedication to handcrafting unique small batches of organic and natural goodness is a dream come true for our family and that our products will bring satisfaction to you and your clients without the harsh chemicals.

Our ingredients are natural and organic this will cause normal variation in our products between orders placed at different times. Here are some normal organic product traits that will generally not be accepted as defects: Color, smell, consistency, and clarity. There are exceptions to every instance and these will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Examples of what is acceptable for exchange: packaging has a defect, a seal broke during transport and spilled the product, if the product in transport ruined the labels, contamination located inside of the product.
