Our founder spent years inside the beauty manufacturing world, helping shape private-label hair care lines for a major manufacturer. But everything changed when the company was acquired by a venture capital firm. The new priority? Profits at all costs — even if that meant letting go of employees who had been there for decades. After a brief stint with another manufacturer that lacked the ethics and transparency she stood for, the breaking point became a breakthrough. Her husband suggested a new path forward: and just like that, Derde Puffin Groop was created — a private-label manufacturer rooted in the values others too often forget:

We exist for the salon owners, stylists, and indie entrepreneurs who want to launch something real — not just another bottle on a shelf. We offer low minimums, clean formulas, and the kind of customer service that makes you feel like you’re building something with us — not just buying from us. We’re proud to be the kind of company where the team is valued, the customer is heard, and the products actually deliver on their promises.

You deserve more than just a supplier. You deserve a partner.
