The only monthly subscription built for beauty brand founders, salon owners & nail techs who need to vet formulas before committing to a $2,500–$10,000 wholesale order.
We benchmarked every comparable subscription before setting our price. Consumer boxes send branded retail samples. We send factory-direct unbranded production formulas — which is why the price and the value are different.

The real comparison is not IPSY — it's direct B2B sampling. Getting samples directly from manufacturers costs $20–40 per formula, with 2–4 week waits and MOQ requirements per inquiry. At $89 ÷ 10 avg samples = $8.90/formula, you pay less than half that price — with same-day signup, free shipping, and a path to 15% off your first wholesale order.
