We are a privately owned Manufacturing and Product Development facility located in the northern New Mexico art colony of Taos.
Our factory looks out over clean skies and the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountains.


Karl S. Halpert, President, founded the company in 1993 with Aunt Bee's Royal Lip Jelly®, a three-flavor line of lip balm, which he sold through Natural Products stores throughout the United States and Canada. Due to the quality of the Aunt Bee's products, we began to get requests for Private Labeling, which rapidly grew into
our specialty.
Today, we manufacture lip balm, salves, organic personal care products, SPF lip balm, tinted lip products, aromatherapy balm, and other personal are products for other companies Private Labels from a local sporting goods retailer to Fortune 500 companies such as Estee Lauder, and everything in between.
We are FDA inspected and manufacture to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards as set forth by the FDA. In addition, we are a USDA Certified Organic Facility, one of the first in the United States, and members of the Organic Trade Alliance.
We are listed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as a cruelty-free manufacturer, and adhere to PETA's standards. In addition, we require the same of all our own suppliers.
