Two ways folks come to us
Pick whichever one sounds like you.
Most customers walk in with one of two asks. Same factory in Pampa either way, same chemists, same QC bench. Only thing that changes is whether the formula already exists or we're building it.
On the shelf, soon
"I want a product like A, B, C."
We've got hundreds of formulas already proven on retail shelves. Pick one, send your label, pick a scent. Pilot runs from 1,000 units. Samples in weeks, not next year.
Match me to a formulaBuilt to your spec
"I have a spec, formulate it for me."
Bring a brief, a benchmark to beat, or a sketch on a napkin. Our chemists build to it, documented every step, and the same formula scales from pilot to pallet to a full truck.
Formulate it for meNot sure which one? Pick either. We'll sort it out when we write you back.
How we work
How a leather & leathercraft line gets built.
Tell us what you want made
One sentence does it. "Like brand A," "like product B," or something we've never seen. You don't need to talk like a chemist.
We match it or build it
Same day, a chemist or account lead writes you back, with a formula off our shelf or a plan to build one to your spec.
Try the sample
We ship a sample to your door. Smell it. Test it. Hand it around the office. We tweak until you nod.
Lock the pack
Bottle, cap, label, scent, dilution. Your brand on it, our crew packing it. We carry the whole bill of materials.
We bottle it, we truck it
Pilot lot or full pallet, made in Pampa, Texas. Paperwork in the box, freight headed to your dock.
