phytogenx, Inc.

In 2007, Julie Panzner started PhytogenX in her garage—coding bottles in her living room and making batches of products on her kitchen stove. Today, the local personal care beauty products manufacturer employs over 180 people and powers beauty brands found in luxury retailers nationwide.

What sets PhytogenX apart? It doesn’t compete with its clients. Instead, it focuses entirely on innovation and helping brands navigate the complex world of clean beauty regulations and FDA compliance. Its clients range from celebrity hairstylists launching their first product lines to established brands reformulating for major retailers.
