Our Specialized Cosmetics Fulfillment Services for Beauty and Skincare Brands

Specialized fulfillment for beauty, skincare, and fragrance products requires precision. Handled’s cosmetics fulfillment services address the industry’s unique needs—temperature sensitivity, shorter shelf lives, fragile packaging, regulatory compliance, and higher return rates—so your customers always receive products fresh, safe, and on time.

Temperature-Controlled Cosmetics Storage

Beauty products like serums, creams, and fragrances are sensitive to heat and humidity. Our climate-controlled cosmetics fulfillment storage maintains consistent conditions to prevent spoilage, preserve product integrity, and ensure compliance with FDA guidelines. By reducing the risk of instability, we help brands protect customer trust and avoid costly returns.

FEFO lot tracking for beauty products

Unlike standard FIFO, our First Expired, First Out (FEFO) lot tracking ensures products ship based on expiration dates. This is critical for cosmetics with active ingredients that lose potency over time. FEFO reduces waste, improves compliance, and ensures customers always receive fresh, effective products—an essential part of cosmetics fulfillment services.

Hazmat Compliance & Handling

Many cosmetics, including aerosols, nail polish, and alcohol-based fragrances, are classified as hazardous materials (hazmat) for shipping. Our hazmat-compliant cosmetics fulfillment includes safe storage, labeling, and transport aligned with FDA and DOT requirements. This prevents shipping delays, protects your brand reputation, and ensures smooth delivery to customers and retailers.

Protective Packaging for Fragile Cosmetics

Cosmetics packaging is often delicate—glass jars, droppers, and makeup palettes can easily break in transit. Handled’s protective cosmetics packaging solutions combine durable materials with branded presentation, so products arrive intact without sacrificing the customer unboxing experience. Each package is engineered to minimize breakage while reinforcing your brand at every step.

Cosmetics returns management

Cosmetics brands face higher-than-average return rates due to shade mismatches, texture issues, or personal preferences. Our cosmetics returns processing ensures items are inspected, restocked when possible, or refunded quickly to keep inventory moving and customers satisfied. By handling returns with speed and accuracy, we help you recover revenue and turn returns into loyalty-building moments.

“The best 3pl for startups”

When we thought we couldn’t find a 3PL that could accommodate a startup, we found Handled. Staff went out of their way to help us set up and integrate our Shopify and now we are fulfilling at a much lower cost per item
