About
Making other people's brands in Dallas.
ARG Laboratories has manufactured health and beauty products for other people's brands since 1992, out of a plant on Manana Drive.
Founded by Henry A. Ajike.
2639 Manana Drive, Texas 75220.
Creams, lotions, serums, gels and balms.
A contract manufacturer, and nothing else.
We do not have our own brand, we do not compete with our customers, and we have no interest in starting. Everything that leaves this building carries somebody else's name on it. That has been true since 1992 and it is the reason brands are willing to send us a formula.
We are small enough that the person who answers the phone knows what is on the line today, and old enough to have made most things at least once.
Who you will actually deal with.
Henry A. Ajike
Founded ARG Laboratories in 1992.
Darin Hoogendoorn
Three decades in the cosmetics industry. Runs the plant day to day and works directly with customers from first enquiry through to shipment.
Tyrick Allen
Leads formulation and bench development. The person your formula actually goes to. Biology degree, University of Cincinnati. Came up on the bench at Biore, then several major manufacturers, and has been at ARG since 2020.
Come and look
We would rather you saw the plant than took our word for it. Arrange a visit.
Two things on this page need a person to confirm. Henry’s bio is one line because the current live site has no real bio for him, it repeats the section intro verbatim, so there was nothing to carry over and nothing was invented. And the founding year is 1992 on the site but 1988 on LinkedIn. One of those is wrong.
