Family owned for three generations, Lady Burd treats all our customers and employees like an extension of our own family.

Over 50 years ago, Roberta Burd founded Lady Burd during a time when women entrepreneurs were an extreme rarity. Roberta found that it wasn’t easy or accessible for women to launch their own businesses, and she vowed to make a difference. For this reason, Lady Burd has kept its MOQs the lowest in the industry since inception. With only $150, you can start your own beauty brand and start turning your dreams into a reality.

While we pride ourselves on our ability to create small batch sizes for our customers just starting out, we’re also experienced with manufacturing for bigger brands. For years, we’ve helped our largest customers fulfill orders for big box retailers, brand name stores, and helped keep their supply flowing for their bustling eCommerce businesses. Here at Lady Burd, we do it all!

Lady Burd offers multiple turnkey services from logo and label design, to helping your brand get their products into PR Boxes. We can even help our customers source custom packaging and custom ingredients to include in their custom formulations.

Let us help you make your dreams become a reality!
