Main Solution Formulators???

I know there are a TON of solutions on the market BUT as we all know most of them are made by the same formulators and slapped with Private Label and re-sold for double what they are worth.

Who are the main formulating companies? Anyone know

Re: Main Solution Formulators???

Girlietan, just wondering how you can be sure that those companies are actually the manufacturers? I'm not disagreeing, I just wonder how any of us can be sure. Some of the solutions I tried in the beginning were so different from each other, makes me think alot of people are truly manufacturing their own. Then again, how much does it matter? Bottom line, you want a good solution at a reasonable price that your customers love...who REALLY cares which one made it. ?????

Re: Main Solution Formulators???

These are the only manufacturers that I know of who actually have an actual formulation factory/warehouse where they physically make their solution . I agree with you 100% about just finding a good solution . I guess the issue that I find is one of my FAVORITE solutions is about $150 a gallon- this leads me to believe its formulated by a big distributor and the retailer markes it up by 1/2. I offer many different solutions several of the brands I use are very resonable in price where others are anywhere from $150 to $200 a gallon, which is fairly high in comparison to some of my other fav's.

Some companies that do not have labs on-site contract with labs to both develop and manufacture their solutions, they are not "private labeled", but developed by labs for the distinctive companies. In fact, some smaller companies private label for the larger companies...

We at Breeze do have our own manufacturering plant along with Norvell, Biddiscombe, Formulated. California Tan's product is manufacturered for them. Unless the ETS factory is making it for them now. Their parent company.

Aviva and React I believe are direct formulators as well.


Sonoma:

Does South Seas directly formulate their solutions or are those solutions manufactured at an outside lab?

We work with the lab to make our solution , it is not a private label product. We also private label for a few other companies.
