We’re Different by Design

 

It’s about more than just manufacturing products

Other contract manufacturer’s insight & perspective is solely in the production phase of the product — and that’s where it ends. We not only think about the best formula to make, but the products full journey to the customer. What’s the best bottle & pump to prevent leaks? We know first hand. What product packaging works best for Amazon shipping? We can tell you.

We think like brand owners — because we are

From CAC & LTV to COGS & AOV, we speak your language. That’s because we also built a consumer brand from the ground up. For nearly 10 Years, we’ve Formulated, Manufactured, Marketed, Sold, & Shipped tens of thousands of units of skincare to our customers. We use this unique & invaluable perspective to help you always make the best choices for your business.

 
 

Ultra-Low MOQ’s — Starting at just 1,000 Units

Now you can launch New Products, Variations, & Seasonal Items. With Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ’s) starting at just 1,000 units, you’re never saddled with years of product inventory sitting in a warehouse & can redeploy the capital. Plus, with lightning fast, Just-in-Time Production, your reorder is ready in as little as 2 Weeks so you’re never out of stock.

100% Clean. Naturally

Looking for a formula filled with harsh chemicals, synthetics & petroleum byproducts? Then we’re not the right fit for you. With our expertise in Clean Formulation & long-term relationships with Natural & Clean Ingredient Suppliers, we’ll make the perfect High-Performing, Clean Formula you’ll love — & that your customers will be excited to use.

100% Custom Formulas.
100% Owned by You.

Why settle for white-label products anyone can buy & sell? All of our formulations are custom designed just for you by our industry-leading chemists. So you make the perfect formula with the exact benefits, textures, & ingredients that your customers will love. And, you’ll own your formula — we want you to stay with us because you want to (not because you need to).

Made in America

All of your formulas are made right here in the USA (NYC more specifically). So you’ll enjoy expert quality you can trust. What’s more, with all of your products made Stateside, there are no language barriers to overcome, no customs delays, you’ll be able to market your products as “Made In America”, & you’ll enjoy shipping delivery times of just days (not months).
