Consulting Services for
Personal Care Brands
A focused set of services built around the real challenges personal care brands face — from regulatory compliance and ingredient sourcing to getting a formula right, finding the right manufacturing partner, and bringing a product to market the right way.
MoCRA Compliance Advisory
The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act has introduced new obligations for every brand selling cosmetics in the US — facility registration, product listing, serious adverse event reporting, and safety substantiation. We guide you through each requirement, review your labeling for compliance, and help you build the internal processes to stay current as regulations evolve.
Formulation Development & Technical Review
We evaluate formulations for stability, scalability, ingredient compatibility, regulatory considerations, and cost efficiency — and assist with troubleshooting when a product isn't performing as expected. When something goes wrong at the lab or on the line, we help identify why and recommend corrective action.
Ingredient & Raw Material Sourcing
Finding the right ingredient suppliers is harder than it looks. We identify qualified candidates, evaluate supplier documentation (CoA, SDS, TDS), benchmark pricing and MOQs, and help you find clean or sustainable alternatives when needed. Whether you're sourcing a novel active or locking in a reliable commodity, we bring vetted supplier relationships and procurement experience to every search.
Testing & Lab Advisory
Most brands don't know what testing they need, in what order, or which labs to trust — and guessing wrong is expensive. We develop the right testing protocol for your product, help you select qualified labs, and walk you through what the results actually mean. This covers stability testing, micro and challenge testing, safety substantiation, and claim support.
Contract Manufacturer Selection & Vetting
We help you identify qualified candidates, evaluate capabilities, ask the right questions, and assess whether a manufacturer is truly the right fit for your product, your volume, and your brand. This includes manufacturer research, capability reviews, facility assessment guidance, and support through the RFQ and sampling process.
Production Scale-Up Support
We guide brands through the lab-to-line transition — setting realistic expectations and working with manufacturers to resolve scale-up challenges before they become expensive production problems. Process variables change, equipment differs, and what worked at small scale may behave very differently at volume.
Product Launch Strategy & Manufacturing Roadmap
Ideal for emerging brands entering the personal care space for the first timeWe map the full path from concept to finished product — including compliance requirements, timeline planning, budget considerations, ingredient and lab needs, packaging alignment, and selecting the right manufacturing model for your stage of growth. This is the service that ties everything together: a clear, honest roadmap so you know exactly what's ahead before you spend a dollar on production.
