Built for Beauty

Why Beauty Brands Choose Matrix for Cosmetics Fulfillment

Cosmetics have shelf lives, fragile glass and unboxing customers post online. Our operation is set up for all three.

Lot Tracking and FEFO Picking

Every unit is received with its lot and expiration date. ShipHero picks the oldest-dated stock first, and any lot can be traced to the exact orders it shipped in.

FDA-Registered Facility

Our Los Angeles warehouse is FDA-registered, giving skincare and cosmetics brands a compliant home for inventory from day one.

Branded Unboxing, Every Order

Your boxes, tissue, stickers and inserts, packed to your spec with photo references, so the unboxing on TikTok looks the way you designed it.

PR Boxes and Creator Mailers

Gift sets, launch kits and influencer mailers are kitted in-house and tracked as their own SKUs, ready for drops and seeding campaigns.

Glass and Liquids Packed Safely

Serums, droppers and glass jars get protective packing chosen per SKU, which cuts breakage claims and leaky-box reviews.

Subscriptions and Retail-Ready Orders

Replenishment orders from Recharge or Skio ship on schedule, and wholesale orders go out with EDI and retailer-compliant labeling as you expand.

Compliance and Product Care

How We Handle Cosmetics, Skincare and Beauty Products

Compliance and Handling

Beauty products need more care than t-shirts. Our receiving and packing process is built around that.

  • FDA-registered Los Angeles facility
  • Lot number recorded on every unit at receiving
  • Protective packing for glass, liquids and pumps
  • Damaged or expired units set aside and reported, never shipped

Shelf Life and Lot Tracking

Every unit is tracked from the dock to your customer's door in ShipHero WMS.

  • Expiration dates captured at receiving
  • First-expired, first-out (FEFO) picking on every order
  • Look up which orders shipped any lot, fast
  • Live stock by lot and expiry in your client portal

Side-by-Side

Typical 3PL vs. Matrix for Cosmetics Brands

Topic
Typical 3PL
Matrix Fulfillment
Why It Matters
Expiration Dates
Not tracked, oldest stock gets buried
Captured at receiving, FEFO on every pick
Customers get fresh product and you write off less
Lot Tracking
Spreadsheets or nothing
Lot recorded per unit in ShipHero
You can find every order a lot went to
Facility
General merchandise warehouse
FDA-registered facility
Retail partners and marketplaces ask for it
Shipping Speed
24 to 48 hours to ship
Same day on orders by 2 PM Pacific
Faster delivery means fewer "where is my order" tickets
Unboxing
Plain box, no inserts
Inserts, samples and gift notes to spec
Beauty customers share unboxings
Contract
12-month lock-in and minimums
Month-to-month, no minimums
You stay because it works, not because you're stuck

Bottom line: if you sell anything with a shelf life, your 3PL has to track lots and expiration dates. Matrix does both by default, at no extra charge.

Cosmetics Fulfillment FAQ

Questions Beauty Brands Ask Us

Something not covered? Call (310) 415-7759.

What is cosmetics fulfillment?

Cosmetics fulfillment is outsourced storage, picking, packing and shipping for makeup, skincare and beauty brands. Matrix receives your products into our Los Angeles warehouse, records lot and expiration data, packs each order in your branded packaging and ships it the same day when it arrives by 2 PM Pacific.

Do you track lot numbers and expiration dates?

Yes. Every unit is received with its lot and expiration date in ShipHero WMS, and orders are picked first-expired, first-out (FEFO) so the oldest-dated stock ships first. If you ever need to trace or pull a batch, we can identify exactly which orders contained it.

Is your warehouse FDA-registered?

Yes. Matrix operates an FDA-registered facility in Los Angeles, which makes it a compliant home for skincare, cosmetics and other regulated beauty products.

Can you use our branded boxes, tissue and inserts?

Yes. We store your branded packaging on-site and pack every order to your written spec, including tissue, stickers, samples and thank-you cards. Matrix branding never appears on your shipments.

Do you build PR boxes and influencer kits?

Yes. We kit gift sets, launch bundles, PR boxes and creator mailers in-house. Each kit is tracked as its own SKU with a bill of materials and photographed during the first build so every unit matches.

How do you protect glass bottles and liquids?

We set protective packing per SKU, such as bubble or molded inserts, sealed bags for liquids and right-sized boxes, so serums, droppers and jars arrive intact.

How much does cosmetics fulfillment cost?

Pick and pack starts at $1.50 per order plus $0.35 per additional item, and drops as low as $0.50 per order at volume. Bin storage is $0.25 per day, and there are no setup, platform or account fees. You receive an itemized quote.

How fast can a Shopify beauty brand switch to Matrix?

We onboard beauty brands within 24 to 48 hours. We connect your Shopify store, set up your packing spec and receive your inventory, and can run alongside your current 3PL during the move so no orders are missed.

Do you ship TikTok Shop beauty orders too?

Yes. TikTok Shop and Amazon orders pull from the same inventory as your Shopify store, and we ship them within TikTok Shop's ship-by deadlines.
