Looking for a private label serum manufacturer? MoCelie is a Guangzhou-based OEM/ODM factory that develops and produces custom serums for skincare brands in North America and Southeast Asia. With 12+ years of formulation experience, a 10,000+ formula library, and low MOQs, we help both new brands and established companies launch high-performance serum lines.
Why Serums Are a High-Value Product for Your Brand
Serums carry the highest concentration of active ingredients and the strongest brand story. They also command premium price points, which makes them a smart choice for brands building a functional, results-oriented image. Because serum formulas are concentrated, they are where your choice of active ingredients – and your manufacturer – matters most.
Serum Types We Manufacture
- Functional serums – anti-aging, wrinkle care, brightening, and barrier-repair formulas
- PDRN serums – DNA-derived actives for soothing and renewal-focused lines
- Retinol and peptide serums – targeted anti-aging treatments with careful stability design
- Hydrating and calming serums – hyaluronic acid and sensitive-skin-friendly formulas
In-Demand Actives We Formulate With
Our R&D team works with PDRN, collagen, Pro-Xylane, rare ginsenosides, oligopeptides, peptides, retinol, and more. If you are developing a PDRN product, our guides explain what PDRN is and how it is manufactured, so you can brief your formula with confidence.

How Private Label Serum Manufacturing Works
- Concept brief – define your target audience, actives, and positioning
- Formula sample – receive a sample in 3-7 days after your brief is confirmed
- Refinement rounds – fine-tune active levels, texture, and fragrance
- Sample approval – lock the final formula and packaging
- Bulk production – typically 2-4 weeks after final approval
- Quality control and documents – batch testing with certificate of analysis
- Shipping – with export documentation for your target market
In total, plan for roughly 6-12 weeks from approved sample to goods on the water.
MOQ and Small-Batch Testing
Minimum order quantities depend on packaging: bottles generally start at 3,000-5,000 units and soft tubes at 10,000 units. For a first launch, ask about small-batch testing – we support it with neutral sample containers, no printing or branding, so you can validate your formula with real customers before committing to branded packaging.
