About
Brand & Bottle
Brand & Bottle is an Australian skincare brand accelerator based in Melbourne. We exist for one reason: the traditional path to launching a skincare brand asks founders to spend tens of thousands of dollars on inventory before they know whether anyone wants the product.
What Brand & Bottle does
We work with aspiring skincare founders end to end — from positioning and product selection through Australian-made manufacturing, packaging, store build and launch mentorship.
Production runs through a GMP-certified Melbourne facility. There are no minimum order quantities, so a first run is sized to what a founder can sensibly risk rather than what a factory prefers to schedule.
Who it is for
Founders who have a clear idea of the brand they want to build and want a manufacturing and launch partner rather than a course. Founders keep full ownership of their brand, their label and their customer list.
How the process works
The accelerator runs as a structured eight-week sequence:
- Positioning and product selection — the customer, the hero product, the promise.
- Brand and label direction, built for Australian cosmetic labelling requirements.
- Australian-made production of your first run in our Melbourne facility.
- Store build and launch assets, ready to take orders.
- Launch mentorship through the first sales and the first reorder decision.
Where we are
Brand & Bottle is based in Melbourne, Victoria, and works with founders across Australia. Everything we produce is Australian made in a GMP-certified facility.
