NourishUs Naturals Introduces Integrated In-House Filling Services to Help Brands Protect Margins and Reduce Operational Risk

Press Release - February 2026

Integrated manufacturing and filling model gives skin and hair care brands greater control amid rising costs and supply chain complexity

PORTLAND, Ore. - NourishUs Naturals, a naturally derived skin and hair care manufacturer, today announced the introduction of in-house filling services, expanding its end-to-end manufacturing capabilities at a time when brands face increasing cost pressure, logistical complexity, and operational volatility.

By bringing filling under the same roof as formulation and manufacturing, NourishUs Naturals enables customers to reduce vendor handoffs, eliminate unnecessary shipping legs, and maintain tighter control over timelines, quality, and costs. The integrated approach is designed to help brands protect margins and stay operational as external factors continue to impact manufacturing economics across the beauty and personal care industry.

“As costs rise and supply chains become less predictable, every extra handoff matters,” said Laura Badcock, COO, NourishUs Naturals. “Keeping manufacturing and filling together allows us to remove friction from the process, preserve margins and give brands more room to experiment, whether that’s testing and launching variations, exploring new formats or responding faster to market demand.”

Broad Filling Capabilities for Emerging and Growing Brands

The introduction of in-house filling marks a strategic expansion of NourishUs Naturals manufacturing model, designed to help beauty and personal care brands navigate rising costs, freight volatility, and increased operational risk. By consolidating formulations, manufacturing, and filling within a single facility, the company is reducing common points of failure that can erode margins and delay product launches.

The move is particularly significant for emerging and growing brands, where additional vendors and shipping legs can quickly strain budgets and timelines. NourishUs Naturals’ integrated approach offers a single point of accountability from formulations through filled product, helping customers simplify operations while maintaining consistency and control.

NourishUs Naturals now supports filling across a wide range of viscosities, including liquids, oils, creams, soft solids, salts, and scrubs, with formats spanning bottles, jars, tubes, and sample packets. The company also supports small-format sampling and multi-pack kits, giving brands greater flexibility to launch, test, and promote products without adding operational complexity.

Packaging is supplied by customers and reviewed in advance to confirm compatibility, while labels are reviewed prior to filling to support regulatory alignment and documentation needs. Together, these capabilities allow brands to move to market with fewer handoffs, clearer oversight, and reduced exposure to downstream disruptions.

“Brands today are looking for partners who can help them weather uncertainty, not add to it,” Badcock said. “By integrating filling with manufacturing, we’re able to reduce handoffs, limit risk, and give customers more control over cost and timelines. That level of accountability is critical to building long-term partnerships that last, especially as brands look to scale thoughtfully without locking themselves into rigid production models.”
