Our Purpose
Simply put, our purpose is to refine the product line creation process while avoiding upfront costs and fees. We do this by drawing on the 125+ years of formulation experience in The Halcyon Network, modifying existing products to your needs. These products would be unqiue to you, and they'd be built on an existing foundation. This let's us private brand without minimum orders or startup costs, while also giving you the cross-industry reach of an established distributor.
Why might I want my own product line?
Product lines are very versatile, and creativity is the limit to how you can apply them.
If you're a hair salon, you may want the ability to expand into the retail market for passive income and reach, you may also want the free marketing of having your salons name in peoples homes. If you're a real estate agent, having a product line for your client gift baskets is the perfect way to stay memorable. This both increases the likelyhood of the individual becoming a repeat client, and means their more inclined to recommend you to their friends and family. If you're an influencer, then having a product line gives you to many advantages to list. One of the most interesting is the ability to get your branding off of peoples screens and into their life. This sets you apart from other influencers by giving your fans something to remember you by. In essence, it makes you seem more real than other influencers, and gives people a physical connection to you. There are also the benefits of passive income, increased notoriety, better perceived reputability, and capitalization on an existing audience.
In summary: product lines are absurdly versatile, and an application for them can be found in almost any industry.
How much work would I need to do?
We would take care of everything, so you don't need to worry about R&D, testing, manufacturing, designing, packaging, pricing, etc...
Our purpose is to make it as easy as possible for you to have a product line, so you can just tell us what you want, and we'll make it happen. Once we've finished developing the product to your specifications, we'd wholesale them to you under you branding. This means it's as easy as placing any other wholesale order.
Are there any minimum order sizes?
There are no minimum order sizes required, although we generally recommend purchasing two to three months worth of product at a time.
How does The Halcyon Network work?
In essence, we're a distributor who allows for complete customizability.
This means that we buy existing, proven product from our partnered suppliers, modify it to the clients specifications (eg. scent, texture, quality, packaging, etc...), and distribute it to the clients as their own brand. Because of this, we're able to build unique product lines while pulling on over 125 years of collective formulation experience. All of this knowledge is now at your disposal, without any of the startup costs that would be incurred by developing product from scratch.
What makes your product so different and unique?
When we started out, we had one simple goal: To help people. Since then we've expanded our horizons by also dedicating to ethicality and sustainability.
Is it ethical for a company to hide it's ingredients behind long names? We didn't think so, so we only use natural and readable ingredients, with names you'll recognize. We're also vegan and we never test on animals.
Is it sustainable to mass produce products in a factory and send them around the world? We didn't think so, so we make small batches, and offset our carbon footprint by planting a tree for every product purchased. This makes us carbon negative, as we're taking more carbon out of the atmosphere than putting in!
How do you remain accessible to all?
As you can see by our prices, we strive to remain accessible to any and everyone that wants to join us in making the world a healthier and more sustainable place, regardless of income. This is why we've sacrificed our profit margins to keep prices low: So we can help as many people as possible, making the world of skincare more sustainable and ethical in the process.
As for shipping, we do ship worldwide, but you'd need to get a custom shipping quote from us if you live outside of North America.
Why might my shipment be delayed?
