Urist Cosmetics Inc.
Rooted in science. Built on legacy. Focused on what’s next.
Founded in 1948 in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Urist Cosmetics Inc. has been a trusted manufacturer of premium skincare and personal care products for over 75 years. The company was established by Dr. Harold Urist, Ph.D., a pioneer in cosmetic chemistry whose vision was to create scientifically driven formulations for real-world results.
For more than four decades, Robert Urist, son of the founder, led the company’s growth as it expanded into new markets and categories. After earning a biochemistry degree from the University of British Columbia, Robert joined the family business in 1981, first as a formulating chemist and eventually serving as President from 1999 onward. His unique blend of marketing expertise and scientific insight helped shape Urist into a globally recognized private label manufacturer.
In 2025, Urist Cosmetics began its next chapter following its acquisition by EGB Capital Inc.. Under the leadership of President Madison Clohessy, the company continues to evolve—investing in innovation, operational scalability, and next-generation formulations tailored for B2B clients across skincare, hair care, and wellness sectors.
Today, Urist Cosmetics manufactures hundreds of custom products for private label clients around the world. Our customers include:
- E-commerce and direct-to-consumer beauty brands
