I am interested in the following three ready-to-use base products from your company: * `Cica Baume B5+` (Compare to La Roche-Posay) * `ANR Serum Base` (Compare to Estee) * `Light Invisible Sunscreen` (SPF50+, PA++++, Compare to Loreal UV Defender Invisible Fluid) I have a few questions to assist with my decision: 1. Are these three bases **ready to use** directly on the skin without needing to add any additional extracts or ingredients? (I plan to use them personally, not for resale.) 2. If I want the company to fill the products into packaging for me, what other service fees are there besides the "Base Cost" and "Packaging Cost"? 3. Since I am buying for personal use and not for a brand, what is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for filling services in terms of units or kilograms?
