    Hello,

    We are creating our own cosmetic and want to add our own coloring.  Does anybody know which which raw material manufacturer will sell white cosmetics already pressed so we can add our own color?
    Thank You

    There is nothing available because this can’t be done successfully.

    There’s a long technical answer as to why this is so - but the short answer is that the process would be cost-prohibitive, since manufacturing cost is one of the smallest contributors to the cost of cosmetics.

    Now, if you wanted to buy monochomatic bulk pre-made cosmetics in powder form, blend them yourself to get custom colors, and then press them into compacts on a small scale, that would be possible - and could even be profitable, if you were selling high-end cosmetics.
