Beauty Chain Manufacturing Debuts—& Cosmogen Acquires Asquan

Beauty Industry News: Here’s our Beauty Buzz news roundup for June 2026—celebrating people
and events in the beauty & packaging industries.

Beauty Chain Capital Launches U.S.-Based Beauty Chain Manufacturing

This month’s Beauty Buzz News focuses on Beauty Chain Capital—and its new turnkey manufacturing facility. Beauty Chain Capital is an investment platform focused on the beauty and personal care supply chain. The company has launched Beauty Chain Manufacturing, a vertically integrated, U.S.-based manufacturing platform “designed to deliver speed, scale, and control for today’s leading beauty brands.”

Located in Reno, Nevada, the state-of-the-art facility spans more than 100,000 square feet and supports high-volume production across skincare, haircare, and color cosmetics. 

More About the New Turnkey Manufacturing Facility

The fully integrated model includes full in-house formulation across liquids and powders; large-scale compounding and high-speed filling capabilities; turnkey services (component sourcing/customization; quality assurance, quality control, and regulatory compliance; integrated warehousing, direct-to-consumer, and B2B fulfillment; ending OTC certification).

“Beauty Chain Manufacturing was built to solve the exact problems brands face today—lack of control, long lead times, and inconsistent quality,” said Derek Harvey, Co-Founder of Beauty Chain Capital. “We disrupted the packaging industry with FusionPKG, and we’re now doing the same in contract manufacturing. For too long, brands have relied on overseas partners for innovation, and that model is changing. We’re delivering that same level of innovation with greater speed, flexibility, and control, all based in the U.S. This is a defining moment for brands to take ownership of their supply chains, and we’re positioned to lead that shift.”

Jonathan Gross, Co-Founder of Beauty Chain Capital, says, “Brands today are operating in a fundamentally different environment than they were even five years ago.” He adds, “Speed-to-market, quality control, and supply chain visibility are no longer advantages—they are requirements. Beauty Chain Manufacturing was built from the ground up to meet those demands at scale.

“On top of the incredible, purpose-built facility, manufacturing in a low-cost, low-regulation environment gives us a meaningful competitive edge,” added Jonathan Gross. “We are able to deliver the speed and quality brands expect, without the constraints that have historically pushed production overseas.”

Cosmogen Acquires Asquan for Global Brand Support

The acquisition means the company has a new name—Cosmogen&Asquan Group.

As CEO of Cosmogen, Priscille Allais has held senior executive positions at L’Oréal, LVMH, and Michael Kors. Founder and President of Asquan Group, Henri Tinchant is also the co-founder of HCT Group, where he spent many years. 

Priscille Allais, CEO of Cosmogen&Asquan Group, explains:

“In a consolidating beauty market, it was essential to evolve. The acquisition of Asquan was an obvious step, given the strength of the complementarity between our two companies. It enables us today to become a leading global partner for global brands. At the same time we will further strengthen our environmental and social commitments. I look forward to working closely with Henri Tinchant. His unique industry experience will be a key asset for the Group.”
