Here's a step-by-step guide to calculate the cost of a single bottle of face cream, including the bulk base, additional ingredients, packaging, and labeling costs. I hope this would help you to be able to price your products for PROFIT!

Step 1: Calculate the Cost of the Bulk Base

1. Determine the Cost Per Ounce:
Cost of 1 gallon (128 ounces) of bulk base: $75.00
Cost per ounce = Total cost / Number of ounces
Cost per ounce = $75.00 / 128 = $0.59

Step 2: Add the Cost of Additional Ingredients

2. Calculate the Cost of Fragrance Oils, Essential Oils, and Color:
Let's assume:
Fragrance oil costs $0.05 per ounce of face cream.
Essential oil costs $0.10 per ounce of face cream.
Color costs $0.03 per ounce of face cream.
Total additional ingredients cost per ounce = $0.05 + $0.10 + $0.03 = $0.18

Step 3: Calculate the Total Product Cost per Ounce

3. Add Bulk Base Cost and Additional Ingredients Cost:
Total cost per ounce = Cost of bulk base per ounce + Cost of additional ingredients per ounce
Total cost per ounce = $0.59 + $0.18 = $0.77

Step 4: Calculate the Cost of Packaging

4. Determine the Packaging Costs:
Cost of a basic jar: $0.50
Cost of a basic top: $0.20
Total packaging cost per container = $0.50 + $0.20 = $0.70

Step 5: Calculate the Cost of Labeling

5. Determine Labeling Costs:
Let's assume:
Cost of logo design (one-time cost): $100.00
Cost to transfer the logo onto a label per unit: $0.10
To calculate the cost per unit, you need to decide how many units you plan to produce.

For simplicity, let’s assume you produce 1000 units.
Logo design cost per unit = $100.00 / 1000 = $0.10
Total labeling cost per unit = Logo design cost per unit + Cost to transfer logo onto a label per unit

Total labeling cost per unit = $0.10 + $0.10 = $0.20

Step 6: Calculate the Total Cost per Unit

6. Add Up All Costs:
Let's assume the face cream jar contains 2 ounces of product.
Product cost (2 ounces) = 2 * $0.77 = $1.54
Packaging cost = $0.70
Labeling cost = $0.20
Total cost per unit = Product cost + Packaging cost + Labeling cost
Total cost per unit = $1.54 + $0.70 + $0.20 = $2.44

Summary

Cost of Bulk Base per Ounce: $0.59
Cost of Additional Ingredients per Ounce: $0.18
Total Product Cost per Ounce: $0.77
Cost of Packaging per Unit: $0.70
Cost of Labeling per Unit: $0.20
Total Cost per Unit (2 ounces): $2.44

By following these steps, you can accurately calculate the cost of a single bottle of face cream, factoring in all the essential components from the bulk base to the final labeled product.
