WE’RE DIFFERENT BY DESIGN
It’s about more than manufacturing
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.
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.
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.
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 100% of your formula — we want you to stay with us because you want to (not because you need to).
Ultra-Low MOQ’s—Starting at 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.
