Our Process

Expertise | Precision | Innovation

This combination defines every step of our work to deliver exceptional products that meet your specifications and exceed your expectations.

From Research & Development to Manufacturing and Quality Assurance, we operate with a seamless process, prioritizing originality, excellence, and client collaboration. Here’s how we bring your product vision to life.

Partnership Assessment

Let’s see if we have chemistry

The first step in our process is the most crucial: finding out if we’re the right fit for you and how we can best support your company. You’ll find our team passionate, collaborative, and resourceful.

Partnering with a new CDMO provider can feel overwhelming and risky for many brands. For those moving from in-house or DIY production, it’s an especially new process. And those from a less than ideal experience with another CDMO are extra cautious in due diligence.

No matter how you find us, our goal is to ensure you are set up for success.

We begin by understanding the basics of your needs, including product types, volume, ingredients, and your brand's business goals. Then, we’ll often cover educational topics, including:

How to know when it’s time for a contract manufacturer

What to look for when you evaluate companies

Questions you should ask us and other firms you interview

What to expect in the process

How to transition the timing for your production

What the minimums typically are for your products

What value-added services are included

Research & Development (R&D)

Innovation is at the core of our process. Our experienced and degreed chemists blend science and market insights to develop original, custom products for nearly every niche.

Tailored Formulations: We take pride in creating unique, stable formulas that meet your product’s specific needs, never from a generic library.

Client-Chemist Collaboration: Work directly with our chemists to ensure your ideas are accurately translated into prototypes, saving time and promoting precision.

Access to Exclusive Resources: We foster strong and long-term relationships with our vendors, providing access to innovative raw ingredients at competitive prices for faster turnaround times.

No R&D Cost: We invest in you and your ideas by offering the benefits of our standard R&D services at no charge, confident that our dedicated work will earn your business.

Manufacturing

Our versatile manufacturing capabilities and rigorous adherence to quality standards ensure every product meets the highest expectations.

We're equipped to meet your needs, from skin, hair, and health care to body care, veterinary products, and home fragrances. Our manufacturing procedures are thoroughly documented and rigorously maintained to ensure consistency and accountability.

Filling Operations

Precision and compliance are key to our filling process. Our experienced and skilled professionals ensure product integrity and security at every step.

Flexible Packaging: From a few grams to bulk drums or totes, we offer a broad range of filling equipment capable of handling tubes, jars, and bottles in plastic, aluminum, or glass.

Advanced Equipment: Our operations utilize single-head and multi-head piston or vacuum fillers, offering both regular and high-speed capabilities, along with tamper-evident and heat-induction seal options.

Rigorous Quality Checks: Fill-line supervisors inspect and document all results, while Quality Assurance (QA) personnel verify every step for consistency and compliance with various QA specifications.

Quality Assurance (QA)

Quality is embedded in every step of our process. Our experienced QA team follows strict protocols to guarantee that every product is precisely as promised.

Comprehensive Testing: Experienced QA personnel meticulously test incoming raw materials, work-in-progress production runs, and final product inspections.

Screening Instruments: Our labs feature advanced testing and analytical apparatus for formula accuracy, raw material evaluations, and standard physical characteristics measurements.

Periodic Quality Testing: We maintain a routine testing schedule for our manufacturing and filling equipment, as well as our water systems, to ensure consistent cleanliness and functionality. For additional reassurance, we partner with reputable, independent microbiological testing laboratories to ensure accurate and unbiased results.
