We do a whole bunch of things but the number one thing we do is build trust. Trust that we’re always going to tell you the truth about your formulation, trust that we’re going to make your products the way we say we will, trust that we’re going to deliver on time, and trust that we’re going to become your favorite business partner. Because without trust, none of the rest really matters.

formulation

We’ve been making products that are safer on skin and safer for the planet for a long time, quite frankly longer than most. We’ve learned a lot through the painstaking trial and error that innovative products require, and we’ve destilled that learning down to a robust library of bulk bases that we are continuously updating. So it’s highly likely that we have a base product that fits your general needs to kickstart an effecient product development cycle tailored for your specific requirements. Of course if you’re looking to create something uniquely new, let’s talk about custom development.

powered by symrise

While the name Symrise may be new to you, Symrise is the leading global manufacturer of cosmetic materials and fragrances, and they are constantly pushing the boundaries of sustainability and safety. In addition, and fortunately for us, they are a strategic partner and an investor. This means we can offer the most advanced natural and clean active performance materials in the marketplace, in a formula customized for your brand. Pretty cool, right?

production

The only thing we love more than formulating beautiful products inspired by the ingenuity and the creativity of our brand and retail partners, is making those products. Whether we’ve developed the formula, or you’ve brought your own formula, we will consistently manufacture your products according to exact standards and deliver them on time. We follow good manufacturing practices and we are ISO 22716 certified.

testing

The hallmark of any trusted production partner is an openness and willingness to constantly challenge test production. We collaborate with a number of third party labs to run multiple test during the development and production stages, including plate count testing, preservative testing, and stability testing.

Here’s what you need to know:

minimum order quantities.

While we have been fortunate to have scaled with some great brands, we are still grounded in our entrepreneurial roots and the indie beauty community. Our minimums reflect this ethos, with our opening minimum order quantity sitting currently at 5,000 units per stock keeping unit.

Product development typically runs 8-10 weeks, not including testing. However full lead time including R&D, testing, and production is roughly nine months.

lead times.

what we make.

We specialize in personal care, think facial care (balms, serums, creams, moisturizers), body care (deodorant, lotions, oils) and hair care (shampoo, conditioner, masks); we don’t manufacture color cosmetics or OTCs, and do not source packaging or labels (we can help connect you with the right supplier, though!).
