Why Chaé

The same product on every reorder.

Four things that matter after the first run ships, and each one can be verified before you sign.

01

Same batch record, run to run

Every reorder runs on the record from run one — materials, lot numbers, process steps, sign-offs. The reorder point is set before the first pallet ships.

02

A formulator on your product, not just a filler

Linda Chaé, 35 years in the lab, and chief chemist Ricardo Bobian review or refine the formula ingredient by ingredient before the production path is locked.

03

Standards a retail buyer can audit

cGMP with a 98% audit score and Excellent rating. FDA-registered. Registered for OTC drug products. A PCQI-led quality department and a HACCP plan validated by an outside auditor.

04

ToxicFree® by default

Every ingredient is checked against ToxicFree®, retailer, and category rules before purchase. The standard started in Linda’s kitchen: when her raw-material research linked common personal-care ingredients to endocrine disruption, she made the commitment the company still runs on — Do No Harm.

Who this is for

Best fit: established brands with active sales, approved or near-final formulas, growing demand, or a need to move production into a more capable repeat-manufacturing environment.

5,000+ Unit Targets

Switching Manufacturers

Demand Exceeding Supply
Demand is outrunning supply and you need capacity before the next stockout.
SKU Expansion
You’re adding SKUs, sizes, or formats to a line that already sells.
Process overview

From SKU review to reliable production

Five steps and one point of contact: Brian Conner coordinates your order from the first review to the truck.

SKU Review
Step 1

SKU Review

You send the product, target volume, timeline, and formula status. We tell you honestly whether it’s a fit.

Formula & Sample Review
Step 2

Formula & Sample Review

The formulation team reviews the formula, makes samples, and checks the packaging is compatible at scale.

Production Planning
Step 3

Production Planning

Brian writes the production traveler and work orders; Rita sources materials and components against the date.

Production
Step 4

Production

The batch runs with in-process checks and a full batch record, so run forty matches run one.

Delivery & Reorder
Step 5

Delivery & Reorder

Finished goods are staged and shipped, and the reorder point is set before you’re anywhere near out.

Before you send

Is Chaé the right manufacturing fit?

Four quick answers before you send product details. Everything else is on the Contact page.

Do you work with startup brands?

Chaé primarily works with established and scaling brands, but also takes on qualified new-product development when there is a defined product concept, formula direction, production plan, and a realistic path to a 5,000+ unit run. If the project is still only an idea with no defined product, formula direction, or production plan, Chaé may not be the right fit yet.

Do we need every detail finalized before reaching out?

No. The review is easier if you can share your product category, formula status, target run size, current manufacturer status, packaging needs, and timeline — but you do not need every detail finalized before starting the conversation. Not sure where you stand? The Project Planner scores your readiness in two minutes.

What happens after we submit the form?

Chaé reviews your product category, formula status, target production volume, packaging needs, current manufacturer situation, and timeline. From there, the team tells you whether the project is a strong manufacturing fit and what the next production steps would look like.

Do you work with brands outside Colorado?

Yes. Chaé Manufacturing works with brands across the United States from its facility in Walsenburg, Colorado.
