About Health & Beauty Partners
Health and Beauty Partners is a personal care consulting firm based in Gilbert, Arizona. We help established US brands get products made right, sold in more markets, and led by senior operators without a full-time hire. Our team pairs more than 20 years inside contract manufacturing and sales with an in-house formulation lead.
Who Is Health and Beauty Partners?
We're practitioners, not generalists. We've worked inside contract manufacturing, on the sales side and at the bench, so we know where launches stall and where formulas get lost.
We work on your side of the project and coordinate the manufacturers, distributors, and specialists around it. You deal with one team instead of six vendors.
Your formula. Your IP. Always.
Loren Scott, Founder
Loren has spent more than 20 years in personal care sales and contract manufacturing. He co-founded KO-PACK, where he served as President of Sales, and was previously with Arizona Natural Resources and Cohere Beauty.
Today he leads business development, distributor relationships, and strategy at Health and Beauty Partners. He also does hands-on launch and packaging work with growing brands: owning critical paths, solving supplier problems, and getting products to production.
Prior-Role Experience
In prior roles on the manufacturing side, Loren worked on programs for brands including Dollar Shave Club, Bumble and Bumble, Duke Cannon, Suavecito, Alaffia, and ClearStem.
This is prior-role work, not Health and Beauty Partners client work.
Dan Pont, Chief Formulating Officer
Dan has more than seven years in product formulation. In prior work, he has created products for award-winning brands, with products featured at QVC, Ulta, Walmart, Costco, and more.
At Health and Beauty Partners, Dan leads formulation, technical review, and formula transfers, so your product performs the same after it moves to a new manufacturer. See formulation led by Dan →
What Dan Leads
- Custom formulation and line extensions
- Technical review and troubleshooting
- Stability, pH, and preservation guidance
- Formula transfers to new manufacturers, in the US or Europe
