The Reality of Launching a Beauty Brand

Most aspiring founders fail—not because their ideas aren't good, but because they don't have access to the knowledge that major brands use to succeed.

01

Manufacturer Relationships

Big brands have vetted supplier networks built over decades. Independent founders start from zero, often getting taken advantage of or ghosted.

02

Formulation Expertise

Understanding what makes a product actually work—stability, texture, efficacy—requires years of product development experience.

03

Regulatory Navigation

FDA compliance, ingredient restrictions, labeling requirements—one mistake can delay your launch by months or kill it entirely.

04

Retail & Distribution

Getting into Sephora, Ulta, or major retailers requires understanding exactly what buyers look for and how to position your brand.

This is the gap I bridge. I bring the same processes, relationships, and expertise used by billion-dollar beauty brands—and make them accessible to independent founders.
