Bradford Labs today unveiled its new brand identity, uniting 150-year-old Bradford Soap Works, a leader in solid personal care manufacturing, and 99-year-old Solo Laboratories, a specialist in aerosol and liquid personal care solutions, under a single personal care product development and manufacturing platform. The new name and visual identity reflect the company’s evolution into a full-service partner, shaping the future of personal care product development. Bradford Labs brings together integrated solutions tailored to masstige and prestige brands, delivering innovative, high-performance capabilities across a broad range of applications.
With nearly 250 years of combined experience in personal care manufacturing, Bradford Soap Works and Solo Laboratories each bring legacies rooted in continuous innovation, technical expertise, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
Bradford Soap Works: Founded in 1876 and celebrating its 150th anniversary, Bradford Soap Works built its reputation as a trusted partner in solid personal care manufacturing. The company is known for its vertically integrated capabilities, custom soap and syndet base development, and high-performance bar formulations spanning cleansing, shampoo, conditioner, shave, and OTC products.

The Bradford Labs rebrand includes the launch of a new website, bradfordlabs.com, designed to showcase the company’s expanded Research and Development resources, technical expertise, and commitment to innovation. The updated digital experience provides customers and industry partners with a clearer view of Bradford Labs’ full-service offerings and its role as a strategic partner in product development and manufacturing.
