How to Price Skincare and Supplement Products: A Beginner’s Guide to Profitable Margins
Struggling to price your private label products? Learn how to calculate profitable margins for skincare and supplement brands — without guessing.
You’ve chosen your formulas, your labels look amazing — but when it comes to pricing, you’re stuck. Charge too little, and you barely break even. Charge too much, and your customers vanish.
Here’s how to set profitable, strategic prices for your skincare or supplement brand — even if you’re just starting out.
Start by knowing your true product cost per unit, which includes:
💡 Example:
If your product costs £3.20 to make and £0.80 to package and ship = £4 total landed cost.
| Strategy | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Keystone Markup | Double your cost (2x) | £4 → £8 |
| Premium Markup | 3–5x cost for prestige brands | £4 → £12–20 |
| Tiered Strategy | Lower for entry SKUs, higher for hero products | £4 cleanser → £9 / £4 serum → £15 |
For DTC brands, aim for a 3–5x markup to account for marketing spend and profit.
Ensure your net margin (after all costs) allows for sustainable growth.
