R&D for brands that don't have access to a lab.

Most brands start with a product idea and a manufacturer's catalog of formulas that already exist. Without access to a lab, there's no way to develop something genuinely differentiated: the formula is fixed, and everything distinctive has to come from packaging, marketing, and positioning alone. Meanwhile, companies like P&G and Unilever build their competitive position on formulation itself, running dedicated R&D departments that develop and refine products no one else can offer.

AQPH exists to put that same capability within reach of companies that don't have the scale to build an R&D department of their own. Working with AQPH means real formulation development, from early concept through a production-ready, regulatory-compliant formula, backed by expertise in chemistry, materials engineering, and packaging. It's the difference between selecting a formula and owning one: a product built specifically around what you're trying to say, rather than adapted from something already on the shelf.

Gabriel Haymes

Founder & Chief Scientist

Bringing past experience as a principal scientist at an industry leader, where formulas go through rigorous rounds of testing and sign-off before ever reaching a shelf. His background spans chemistry, materials engineering, and packaging: from formula stability to how a product holds up through manufacturing, shipping, and real-world use.

He founded AQPH to bring that same level of rigor to companies that move faster and leaner than a corporate R&D department ever could. The lab operates out of GIC Greenpoint in Brooklyn, taking on a limited number of partners at a time so each project gets the attention it deserves.
