Ops Pulse is the regulatory and quality infrastructure growing beauty and personal-care brands use to keep products moving — without building an internal department. For independent brands that have outgrown DIY compliance: we check your formulas against the retailers and the fifteen state laws, build the file the vendor portal will ask for, and own the work as you grow.
Every date cited to the statute or the agency's page. Not a summary.Every ban, limit, label duty, and reporting deadline — by ingredient, by state, with the effective date and the source. Updated quarterly. Free to any brand.
Every product you sell, screened against the fifteen state laws and the published ingredient standards at Sephora, Ulta, Target, Credo, and Whole Foods — each list dated and linked, so you know which version you were checked against. Five business days. If it finds nothing, you're done. If it finds something, the $997 is credited to building the rest of the file.
Your ingredient lists (INCI) per product and three label images. A 25-minute intake form. We walk you through the results on a 20-minute call, or a recorded video if you'd rather.

The Check tells you what applies. The build gets the documentation and execution done. The Partner keeps it current as products, claims, retailers, and regulations change — $3,500 a month is the start of an ongoing relationship, not the end of an engagement. We take three builds a quarter; the next open slot is shown below.
Everything the vendor portal will ask for, built and proven before the request arrives: your ten procedures, product and supplier files, listings filed, labels fixed, reformulations briefed and managed (your manufacturer executes), and a 48-hour drill at week six. Toxicologist assessments, where needed, are coordinated separately. Guarantee: if a retailer document request in the following 12 months can't be answered from the file, we complete it at no cost.
Every new product checked against retailer standards and the state laws before the formula locks, listed with FDA, label reviewed, and filed — so a launch never lands on a shelf it can't stay on. Per launch, or monthly for brands that launch often.
Already have a file and a new portal request? We map what they asked for against what you have, close the two or three gaps, and hand you the package with a cover note. The fastest yes on this page.
Your head of quality, part-time. A seat on your leadership call, the claims and manufacturer decisions, every retailer or investor document request answered by us, and a year-in-review at month nine with the dollars. Your rate is locked for as long as you stay. Refer a brand that signs and your next month is free.
Retailers ask for things in their own words: registration proof, listings, safety substantiation, an ingredient statement for two states you've never heard of. Send us the questions — the portal page, the PDF, or the email — and within three business days you get a one-page read: what you can answer from what you already have, what you can't yet, and what each gap takes to close. No charge, no call required.
Send the questions only — not your formulas or supplier documents. We keep a copy of the retailer's questions (never your answers or product data) so the next brand facing the same portal starts further ahead. If you'd rather we didn't, say so and we'll delete it.
Your brand has no factory. Its quality system is a records system — and that's built and run over a screen. Foreign brands entering the US: ask about U.S. agent and label-contact services for your facility and products.
Every date and every restriction traces to the law or the agency's own page, checked on a date we can show you. Law-firm summaries got Connecticut wrong this year. We didn't.
Procedures a nine-person brand can actually run — three pages each, your manufacturers named, your states covered. Not a binder.
At the end of a build we send a mock document request with a 48-hour clock. What you can produce is the proof. What you can't is the punch list.
"Bigger brands have a person for this. You can't afford one. That's the whole reason we exist."
Ops Pulse was founded by a quality manager with a career in FDA-regulated manufacturing — an industry where "produce the record" is a daily event, not a crisis. The same discipline, sized for a brand with a founder, an ops lead, and two contract manufacturers.
We don't formulate, we don't sign toxicology, and we don't audit factories in person yet. We build the file that survives someone asking for it, and we run it.
One product, one ingredient, one state — we'll answer in an email, no charge. camerone@ops-pulse.com
