Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

  • US lip balm labeling requires ingredients in descending order of predominance, net weight in both ounces and grams, and appropriate warnings like ‘external use only.’ Our MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 2-3 weeks after design approval.
  • We provide FDA-compliant labeling templates and can arrange third-party testing if needed.
  • Packaging must accommodate ingredient lists and warnings without compromising design.
  • Lead time for production is typically 4-6 weeks after final approval, with documentation support included.
