What can I post on Swap Board?
Offer surplus cosmetic ingredients through a Have extra listing, ask for a material through a Looking for listing, or use MOQ buddy to find businesses interested in sharing a supplier order.
How does MOQ buddy work?
MOQ means minimum order quantity. An MOQ buddy listing brings together businesses that want shares of the same supplier order. Members request quantities, and approved shares count toward the order's target. Confirm pricing, payment, and delivery arrangements with the organizer before committing.
What should I include in a listing?
Give the material's name and INCI, the quantity available or needed, your location, and the price or exchange terms. Where relevant, include the supplier, grade, batch and shelf-life details, storage conditions, and available documentation so another business can assess whether it is a suitable match.
Are all materials free?
Listings can offer materials for free, at a stated price, or with a price to discuss. Check the listing and confirm the terms with the poster.
