What Apollo Health & Beauty Care does

Apollo Health & Beauty Care is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of private label, control label, and contract-manufactured health and beauty care products, positioned as the largest private label and control label personal care manufacturer in Canada. The company develops and manufactures formulations across eight product categories: liquid soap and hand sanitizers, body wash, hair care, skin care, specialty bath, kids and baby, nutraceuticals, and gift and seasonal products. Its core technical asset is a complete library of independently tested, National Brand Equivalent generic formulations accumulated over more than 30 years, supported by an in-house R&D team the company describes as the industry's finest and by operations conducted within GMP guidelines with dedicated QA/QC specialists. The company also holds DIN certifications for cleansing and dandruff shampoo products, enabling participation in regulated OTC therapeutic categories.

The company operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market, selling directly to Mass Merchant, Food, Drug, and Specialty/Department Store accounts in North America, with named enterprise relationships including Wal-Mart, Target, and Loblaws. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per retailer relationship rather than publicly disclosed. Manufacturing is anchored in Toronto, with distribution extending to 15 countries across four continents (Central and South America, Mexico, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East). A wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Apollo Health & Beauty USA, Inc., based in Washington D.C., is responsible for developing U.S. federal government sales, growing U.S. public and private sector accounts, and promoting products into Europe, the Middle East, and South America.

Apollo is owned and led by co-founders Charles Wachsberg and Richard Wachsberg. The company has been operating for more than 22 years and holds ESG and operational credentials including LEED Certification, WSIB Safety Recognition, AODA Customer Service Standard compliance, and a Multi-Year Accessibility Plan. Apollo also maintains a cruelty-free testing position through its partnership with NEAVS, committing publicly to non-animal safety testing methodologies. Financials, including revenue, ownership percentages, and any external investment, are not publicly disclosed.
