Your On-Demand Product Development Team.
We’ve helped launch 7 figure products over the course of our career- let us help you launch yours.
Let’s face it: launching a cosmetic product is kind of brutal. Between trying to create the perfect formula, finding the right manufacturing partner, navigating vague regulation- it is nothing but stress.
Let our team of experts chase down vendors, keep timelines on track, manage testing and navigate the complexities of the regulation and science for you.
With more than half a decade of experience, we have built up an extensive network of ingredient suppliers, vendors and manufacturers within the beauty space. I’ve worked in both in-house innovation teams and within the manufacturing space, so I understand what it takes to move fast while staying true to your vision.
