Kumari Sikha Singh connects brand-new beauty and cosmetics brands with the contract manufacturers who actually make their product — before a bad production run kills the launch.
Public trademark filings and FDA cosmetic facility data, updated as it publishes — this is the market I watch.
- →Celebrity-backed indie beauty trademark filings are surging in 2026 — Tate McRae, Lindsay Lohan's Linlo Beauty, and Harper Beckham's relaunch all filed this year
- →MoCRA now requires every cosmetic manufacturing facility to register with the FDA and renew every two years — 2024's first-wave registrants are hitting their 2026 renewal window
- →New indie labels are launching across skincare, haircare, and fragrance — Lixr, Liva, Sweed, Moonglaze, Cyklar, Xinu, and Fugazzi among the names to watch
- →Selfnamed launched as the first B Corp built specifically to manufacture for indie clean-beauty brands — a sign contract manufacturing capacity is scaling to meet new-brand demand
Sourced from USPTO trademark filings, FDA MoCRA facility registrations, and beauty trade press (BeautyMatter, Cosmetics Business, Global Cosmetics News).
No deal to point at yet — so here’s exactly what I put in motion.
- New brand → right-fit manufacturer I match a founder’s real order volume to a manufacturer whose minimums fit where she actually is — not where she hopes to be in a year.
- Manufacturer → MoCRA-ready brand I bring manufacturers founders who’ve already got their safety substantiation and facility registration questions answered, so the relationship starts clean.
Building in the open. I’m working alongside myoProcess — a vetted B2B partner trusted across $1B+ in transactions — while I route my first introductions in this lane. My first closed match replaces this paragraph.
What I see in this market that outsiders miss.
