Two trusted names, one streamlined partner. Start with dermatologist-formulated, market-ready products in batches as small as 36 units — then scale into custom formulation, full-spectrum manufacturing, packaging, and design with no production ceiling.

How it works

From idea to shelf, on a single timeline.

One intake, one project lead, one accountable team — spanning formulation, branding, manufacturing, and fulfillment.

Discovery & brief

Tell us about your brand, audience, and goals. We map the right path: market-ready, custom, or hybrid.

02 — FORMULATE

Product development

Pick from our dermatologist-formulated catalog or develop a custom formulation with our onsite chemistry team.

03 — DESIGN

Branding & packaging

Identity, label design, structural packaging, regulatory copy — delivered shelf-ready.

04 — SCALE

Manufacture & ship

Run your launch batch, then ramp on demand. From 36 units to truckloads, on the same line of partners.

Who we serve

Built for every stage of a skincare brand.

Dermatologists & med spas

Launch a clinical line patients can take home, with formulations you can stand behind.

Indie founders

Test a concept at 36 units, prove demand, and scale on the same line without changing partners.

Established brands

Add SKUs, switch a tired co-manufacturer, or expand into adjacent categories — all under one roof.

Retailers & distributors

Develop private label and exclusive lines with verified clinical credibility behind every formula.
