The Manufacturing Expertise
Your Brand Has Been Missing
Real industry guidance from people who've stood on the production floor. Formulation, sourcing, MoCRA compliance, manufacturer vetting, scale-up — with full transparency on every recommendation. When referral arrangements exist, we tell you. Always.
Brands deserve access to real manufacturing expertise
Transparent Guidance. No Hidden Agendas.
HBP maintains a vetted network of manufacturers we genuinely trust. Where referral arrangements exist, we disclose them to you upfront — before any recommendation is made. You always know exactly where we stand.
Real Production Floor Experience
Our team has worked inside personal care manufacturing operations — not just consulted from the outside. We know where brands get burned because we've seen it happen firsthand.
Sales + Chemistry Under One Roof
Most consultants come from one side of the industry. HBP covers both: commercial strategy and cosmetic chemistry. Your brand gets a complete perspective from concept to launch.
Seven ways we move your brand forward
MoCRA Compliance Advisory
Navigate the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act requirements — facility registration, product listing, safety substantiation, and adverse event reporting.
Formulation Development & Technical Review
From concept to stable formula — ingredient selection, compatibility testing, claim substantiation, and technical review of existing formulas.
Ingredient & Raw Material Sourcing
Identify qualified suppliers, evaluate raw material specifications, and build sourcing strategies that balance performance, cost, and regulatory compliance.
Testing & Lab Advisory
Select the right testing protocols and labs for your product — stability, safety, efficacy, microbiology, and claims testing mapped to your launch timeline.
Contract Manufacturer Selection & Vetting
Identify, evaluate, and vet contract manufacturers — capabilities, capacity, MOQs, quality systems, and facility audits — without the manufacturer knowing you have a guide.
Production Scale-Up Support
Bridge the gap between lab-scale and production-scale — process parameters, equipment requirements, quality checkpoints, and troubleshooting at scale.
Product Launch Strategy & Manufacturing Roadmap
Build a sequenced roadmap from formulation brief to first production run — timelines, dependencies, contingencies, and decision checkpoints your team can actually follow.
Two disciplines.
One complete perspective.
