UpRising Beauty exists because the industry's largest factories priced out the next generation of brands. We rebuilt the model. 2,500-unit pilots get the same R&D depth as a 100,000-unit launch.
Where our expertise was forged
At UpRising Beauty, we are committed to advancing the cosmetics industry through rigorous research, purposeful innovation, and uncompromising quality.
We create high-performance products that elevate beauty while honoring environmental responsibility, ethical sourcing, sustainability, and social responsibility.
Four principles that govern every project that crosses our floor. From formula bench to finished pallet.
In-house R&D that stays ahead of global trends. Ingredient-first formulation, supported by a proprietary raw material library.
Dedicated project management for every brand, regardless of size. Clear communication. Streamlined timelines.
Radical transparency in sourcing and formulation. Every ingredient disclosed, every supplier traceable. You know exactly what goes into your product and why.
Eco-conscious manufacturing designed for a better future. For our partners, our communities, and the planet.
UpRising Beauty was founded on a clear premise: the cosmetics manufacturing industry was built for companies that already made it.
Legacy contract manufacturers demand 20,000-unit minimums, rigid timelines, and resources most indie founders simply don't have. The brands reshaping beauty were being locked out before they could even get started.
We built UpRising to change that. Starting at 2,500 units and scaling to 100,000+, we provide the infrastructure, expertise, and boutique-level support for founders to launch with confidence, iterate quickly, and grow without starting over.
UpRising Beauty's fragrance capabilities are powered by our partnership with Kavango, a New Jersey-based contract manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in scented product development and production. Their turnkey home fragrance programs have been trusted by some of the most recognized brands in the industry.
A home and ambient fragrance portfolio extending across reed diffusers, room sprays, scented beads, sachets, and air fresheners forms the foundation of that expertise. Kavango brings that same depth of scent development and manufacturing precision to personal care fragrance formats, including body mists and fine fragrances.
Together, we offer brands a seamless path from scent concept to finished product, across both lifestyle and personal care categories.

Our founding team holds over 75 years of collective cosmetic expertise and more than 20 patents, with backgrounds spanning L'Oréal, Unilever, Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, and Avon.
Unlike most contract manufacturers, we don't license technology. We develop it. Every formula draws from both proprietary innovation and best-in-class industry ingredients. Our capabilities are rooted in the science driving the future of beauty; advanced delivery systems, exosomes, peptides, microbiome science, and active functional materials.
That institutional knowledge now powers something more agile, more accessible, and more aligned with the future of beauty. We built UpRising so that every brand defining the next era of beauty has access to world-class manufacturing expertise, at any size, at any stage.
