What Will It Take to Regulate Crypto Exchanges?

Published

on

Konstantinos Stylianou is an assistant professor at the University of Leeds School of Law, and a visiting scientist at the Brown University Department of Computer Science.


Shortly after Bitcoin SV was delisted from Binance, CoinDesk advisor Michael Casey published an insightful op-ed discussing whether the delisting amounted to censorship (it doesn’t), whether exchanges should be held to high standards of neutrality (they should) and whether regulation is necessary to achieve this result (it is).

The idea is that because major exchanges play such a crucial role in the industry (Casey claims that “[t]hey are the cryptocurrency industry) they should not be allowed to arbitrarily discriminate between crypto assets — rather they should be regulated to operate as neutral platforms.

But ask any regulation expert and they will tell you that, absent Goldilocks conditions (hold that thought), neutrality is neither the natural state of markets, nor the natural instinct of regulators.

If that’s the case, regulation of the kind that would have saved Bitcoin SV and of the kind Casey advocates for – while possible – might not quite be around the corner.

Neutrality is rare and regulation even rarer

That neutrality is not the natural state of markets, we’ve known for a while.

It is hard to notice when there is an abundance of choice and people get what they want, but when there is too little of something, the owner of that bottleneck resource often becomes partial and does not treat everyone the same.

When the first telephone networks were rolled out, they suppressed devices and services from competitors and even arbitrarily refused call service. Microsoft saw Netscape as a threat and sabotaged it. Apple and AT&T similarly blocked Skype in the early days of the iPhone. There are countless other examples of platforms disfavoring complements or customers.

Were regulators called in to save the day in all these cases? They were indeed. Telephone networks were designated as common carriers, which came with the obligation to provide non-discriminatory service; Microsoft was forced by antitrust regulators to abandon the practices that squeezed Netscape out of the market; and Apple and AT&T dropped their restrictions against Skype after the Federal Communications Commission threatened them with net neutrality action.

It may seem that regulation came to the rescue whenever necessary to restore neutrality. But the truth is that despite occasional corrections, neutrality still remains the exception in the market and in regulatory action.

Part of the reason is that the law actually acknowledges that non-neutrality is not all that bad. The ability to deviate from uniform practice is what allows companies to differentiate themselves in the market. Not all grocery stores carry the same products, neither do they all place them in the exact same shelf, and this helps consumers and producers address diversified needs.

Even extreme differentiation, like exclusive agreements that make a business proposition unique in the market, can be good. For example, Nintendo’s exclusive console agreements helped bootstrap an entire industry by tying popular games to Nintendo’s consoles thereby increasing competition.

It is not that this kind of discriminatory practices have no downsides. Far from it. But it is also a standard assumption in modern market-driven economies is that regulation distorts markets too, and therefore, the enactment of rules requires proof that, left alone, the market would perform demonstrably worse.

In the mind of a regulator

To decide whether Binance, or any exchange for that matter, should be neutral and not discriminate against crypto assets (be it cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives or other), regulators would consider a number of factors.

Power

The most decisive factor to regulate is sustained monopoly power or dominance in the market.

Regulators usually impose neutrality on platforms because users and/or complements (read: cryptocurrencies) can’t or realistically won’t turn to alternative platforms, which would allow the dominant platform to exploit them.

If Binance were a monopoly exchange, then delisting a cryptocurrency would result in driving it out of the market. Or, if the cost of switching from Binance to another exchange was prohibitively high, then, similarly, Binance users and listed cryptocurrencies would be trapped by Binance’s choices.

But neither of those conditions are true here. There are numerous exchanges on which Bitcoin SV can be traded, and signing up with Binance does not preclude users from trading on other exchanges too. In other words, both Bitcoin SV and users multi-home.

In that sense, Bitcoin SV is not in the same position as companies listed on NYSE or Nasdaq, because by and large, companies are listed on only one exchange, and delisting them would mean that they cease to be publicly traded.

Harm and market distortion

Regardless of power, would decisions such as Binance’s delisting of Bitcoin SV undermine important public interest goals such as market stability and efficiency, consumer and investor protection, and capital formation?

Regulation is more likely if the problematic conduct threatens harm to public interest goals, is frequent, and has long-lasting effects without second-best alternatives being able to contain them.

At the moment, the picture is still fluid. For one thing, regulators still grapple with the question of whether crypto assets even form part of financial markets. If they do not, then there would be no legal basis to subject exchanges to financial regulation.

Assuming that they do, the frequency of the problematic conduct matters too. Crypto delisting is not unheard of but it is not exactly common either. There is no exact formula to calculate a threshold. In the case of network neutrality rules, fewer than five instances were enough to set the regulatory process in motion, whereas for privacy, numerous and repeated instances by tech giants have not resulted in regulation yet.

We also don’t know the extent of the harm of delisting. When the trading of conventional securities is suspended, they effectively disappear from the market, perhaps permanently. On the other hand, despite Bitcoin SV’s delisting from Binance, it still traded on another seven exchanges.

To be sure, Bitcoin SV’s price suffered significantly upon the announcement of the delisting on April 15 (from $73 on April 14 to $55 on April 15), and the effects to its medium-long term liquidity and reputation are yet to be accounted for (likely bleak).

This, in turn, can have severe consequences for investors’ financial situation.

But regulation is concerned with broad effects, not individual actors. The key lies less in the fate of Bitcoin SV specifically, and more in the effect of the practice of delisting in the overall stability of the market. It is a very different situation if delisting is regarded as a normal business practice whose risk is acceptably assumed by investors, and if delisting is regarded as serving no other purpose but to manipulate the market or to defraud investors. Only the latter could invite regulation.

Information inadequacies

The market can only work efficiently if all parties are sufficiently well informed to evaluate their options.

If investors had perfect information, then their reactions to Bitcoin SV’s delisting would reflect their up-to-date assessment, and there would be no need for regulation to protect them from anything. Any price, reputation and liquidity fluctuations would correspond to investors’ full and accurate beliefs and manipulation by Binance would be impossible.

This is clearly not the case here or in any other market. Perfect information is one of the most unrealistic assumptions of neoclassical economics in modern economies.

But the obvious solution to information inadequacies is more information and more transparency, not neutrality. The difference is that transparency enables actors to make a (presumably better) choice, whereas neutrality is a choice itself: it mandates a specific treatment (i.e. non-discrimination).

Regulators would normally want to start with the least onerous measure (transparency). If it is not effective, they can escalate to neutrality. If still ineffective, they may even dictate the rules of listing and delisting themselves.

Unequal bargaining power and anticompetitive conduct

The main idea behind non-regulated competitive markets is that actors behave well because market forces discipline them. If, however, the competitive forces exercised by competitors (other exchanges), complements (cryptoassets) or customers (investors) are weak, market players (exchanges) are unconstrained to act in ways that harm others.

Think about how much more difficult it would be for an exchange to delist Bitcoin with its much higher market capitalization, velocity and liquidity compared to Bitcoin SV.

Evidently, Bitcoin is more valuable to exchanges and therefore the constraints around how exchanges treat it are tighter. In reality, the majority of cryptocurrencies are nowhere near as important as Bitcoin, and the fact that they are not backed by unified institutional actors further diminishes their bargaining power.

Large investors could have a similar constraining effect, since exchanges would not want to lose investors who can generate large volumes.

For this to work it would mean that cryptocurrency ownership is concentrated in large investors (there is evidence in that direction, for example 42 percent of Bitcoin is owned by the top 0.01 of addresses), but also that these investors are actually active and that churn is high or at least plausible.

Politics, politics, politics

The factors listed above leave out one important aspect of regulation: the fact that, ultimately, it is a political game, not an academic exercise. If politics favor regulation then that’s the most likely outcome regardless of how the factors listed above weigh in. We even have a fancy name for it: New Institutionalism.

As a function of the executive branch, regulation is subject to political pressure and revolves around interest groups. Nascent immature markets, such as that of cryptoassets, are usually captured by the interests of the existing regulatory authority and those of the public.

They are captured by the existing authority (in the US, this is the SEC) because they are already in the game and by extending their reach they justify their existence. Widened reach and heightened activity entitles them to more funding and higher rating. Just look at how everyone speaks of the European Commission as the global antitrust and privacy enforcer after having gone after Google and the like.

Nascent markets are also more likely to be regulated in the name of the public interest both because people are generally more vulnerable in new market contexts, and because industry interests have not developed lobbying capacity yet. This leaves the field clear to side with the public which is generally seen as the weaker side.

A few industry associations are already present in blockchain markets (EEA, PTDL, ISDA) but none seems to represent the collective interests of exchanges. On the contrary, regulatory interest and grassroots support for crypto assets seem stronger.

In the end, it is usually not a question of whether a market segment will be regulated or not; rather a question of how it will be regulated.

How Augustine Paspalakis Built a 7-Year Streak Predicting the Super Bowl Coin Flip

Published

on

Man walking confidently through brick archway in a Toronto Raptors Vince Carter jersey

The Streak That Turned Into Legend

For most people, the Super Bowl coin flip is a 10-second formality before the real game begins.

For Augustine Paspalakis, it’s destiny.

For seven consecutive years, Augustine has predicted the Super Bowl coin flip correctly, a streak so absurd that even Vegas oddsmakers have started paying attention. Friends document it. Screenshots exist. Bets were placed. Every single year, the man calls it right.

Now, as Super Bowl 2026 approaches, he’s gunning for his seventh perfect call.

How It All Started

It began on a couch, not in a casino. No spreadsheets, no odds calculators…just wings, beer, and a friendly argument.

The first time, Augustine didn’t even mean to make a bet. It was Super Bowl Sunday, and his buddy dared him to call the flip. “Heads,” he said casually, eyes half on the TV. The coin landed, and everyone laughed. He was right. No big deal.

But the next year, something clicked. The same group gathered again, different teams, same energy. Someone joked, “Let’s see if the coin whisperer’s still got it.” Augustine grinned, thought for a second, and called it again. Right. Again. The room went silent for half a beat, then exploded in disbelief.

By the third year, it wasn’t luck anymore, it was lore. Friends started texting him days before kickoff, asking for his call like he was some kind of oracle. “What’s the flip this year?” they’d say. And when he answered, people listened.

Year four sealed it. He made his pick early that week, with confidence that felt almost eerie. The moment the ref tossed the coin, the entire living room stood up, half in suspense, half in superstition. The coin spun, glittered under the lights, and hit the turf exactly as Augustine predicted. Again.

From that point on, the tradition was born. Every January, people wait for “The Call.” Augustine doesn’t play around with odds or chase parlays, he makes one prediction, once a year, and that’s it.

Now, it’s ritual. He announces his pick days before the game, the message spreading through group chats and Discord servers. No hesitation. No second-guessing. Just a quiet confidence as the coin leaves the ref’s fingertips, and another roar from the room when he’s right.

“It’s the Only True 50-50 Bet”

When asked what makes the coin flip so fascinating, Augustine summed it up perfectly:

“This is the only bet in the world that’s truly even. Not Vegas, not the sportsbooks, no one has an edge. It’s pure chance, every single year. You can’t find odds like that anywhere else.”

And yet, somehow, Augustine keeps beating it.

For Augustines friend’s, it’s both hilarious and haunting. His friend Tom said, “Every February, I tell myself this has to be the year it ends,” he says. “But then he calls it, cool as ever, and boom, he’s right again. It’s freakish.”

The streak has turned what was once a simple coin toss into a small spectacle. People don’t just watch the Super Bowl kickoff anymore, they watch him. Because when Augustine makes a call, the room listens, the coin flips, and time seems to slow for just a second… before reality lands exactly the way he said it would.

The Dream Factor

It’s not just the coin flip. Augustine’s friends swear he has “the dreams.”

In the week leading up to the Super Bowl, he reportedly experiences vivid dreams, some about the game, others about everyday life events, that tend to unfold exactly as seen. They’ve predicted business deals, travel mishaps, even random encounters that later happened word for word.

Coincidence? Maybe. But when the dreams line up with seven straight winning calls, people start listening.

Big Nights, Bigger Wins

Every year, the Super Bowl isn’t just a game for Augustine, it’s an event.

He doesn’t watch from a couch anymore. He books entire floors. Last year’s viewing at The Encore in Boston turned into a full-scale VIP takeover, private bartenders, velvet ropes, and bottles of top-shelf champagne flowing like water. Friends flew in. Clients showed up in tailored suits. Even a few low-key celebrities made appearances, eager to witness the streak in person.

As kickoff approached, the energy in the room shifted. Everyone knew why they were really there. The coin flip. Augustine’s call.

When the ref lifted that coin, the room went silent, dozens of people, all holding their breath. Then the coin hit the turf, the stadium erupted, and the Encore suite followed right behind it. Another win. Another roar.

Some say Augustine’s calls have made friends and family tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Others whisper it’s more. But those close to him know, it’s never been about the money.

“I’m not a gambler,” Augustine said that night, swirling a glass of 1942. “It’s not about risk. It’s about rhythm, the timing of life, not the flip of a coin.”

That’s the paradox of Augustine Paspalakis. He throws the best party in the building, he makes people money, he laughs the loudest, but when it’s time to call the flip, the entire room listens like he’s about to drop prophecy.

The Strategy He’ll Never Reveal

People assume it’s luck. Others whisper about secret algorithms, hidden cues from the referees, or obscure statistical models.

But those close to Augustine say it’s simpler than that, an intuition honed from patterns he swears he feels more than calculates.

Whatever it is, it works.

Hollywood producers, rappers, and a handful of NFL insiders have quietly sought his annual prediction. And each year, he gives it with a smile, never a guarantee, just a feeling.

Augustine’s Super Bowl 2026 Pick

Here it is, the moment everyone’s been waiting for.

After reviewing historical data, dissecting coin-toss trends, and pairing that with his uncanny intuition, Augustine Paspalakis has officially made his call for Super Bowl 2026 at Levi’s Stadium:

HEADS

To the average bettor, that might sound like superstition. But for Augustine, it’s strategy.

He treats the coin toss like analysts treat stock charts, running through decades of data, probability distribution models, and environmental variables. “Wind patterns, stadium type, even the ref’s flipping style, every detail matters,” he once joked to a friend, half serious, half scientist.

And he’s not wrong. According to Sportsbook Review and SportsBettingDime, tails has appeared in 31 of 59 Super Bowls (52.5%), including 8 of the last 12. In fact, several professional bettors quietly admit that the “tails never fails” trend has outperformed nearly every other novelty prop bet in the game.

But Augustine’s approach isn’t just numbers, it’s rhythm. He studies patterns the way traders study markets and trusts his instincts when logic reaches its limits. Over the years, he’s become a quiet figure in sports betting circles, with journalists and analysts alike referring to him as “the guy who always knows the flip.”

“People think I just guess,” Augustine said in an interview last year. “But this isn’t about luck, it’s about flow. Every year, there’s a pulse to the game. You just have to feel it.”

And when that coin spins under the lights of Levi’s Stadium this February, a lot of people, bettors, insiders, and longtime believers, will be watching him more than the game itself.

Because if history repeats itself, Augustine will be back at The Encore next year, glass raised, surrounded by friends and fans, as the coin lands tails up, once again proving that maybe, just maybe, some people are born with the rhythm of the game in their blood.

Who Manufactures Mielle Organics Hair Growth Products?

Published

on

File Name: hair growth oil manufacturer.jpg

Mielle Organics rose to fame for its powerful hair-strengthening oils, especially the viral Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil. But despite the brand’s massive popularity, one detail remains tightly under wraps…Mielle does not disclose its manufacturer.

Since launching in 2014 and later joining P&G Beauty, Mielle has relied on a combination of proprietary blends, natural ingredients, and influencer-fueled buzz. But the production side? Completely private.
This is a common strategy among top-tier brands. Keeping the manufacturer anonymous protects their formulas and cost advantages. But it also creates a massive opportunity.

Ambitious founders looking to create their own Mielle-style product lines are turning to hair growth oil private label partners like Private Label Labs, labs that specialize in replicating or even enhancing the performance of market leaders.

The logic is simple: If Mielle’s formula works…

If the manufacturer stays hidden…And if consumer loyalty lies in results, not labels…Then private label brands have a serious shot at disrupting the space. And with the right lab, they can.

What Do We Know About Mielle’s Product Approach & Strategy?

When analyzing Mielle Organics from a private label manufacturing lens, a few key pillars of their product and brand strategy become clear:

1. Ingredient-Rich Formulas Rooted in Natural Oils & Botanicals

Mielle Organics products are known for densely packed ingredient lists featuring:

  • Nutrient-dense oils like soybean, castor, jojoba, peppermint, rosemary, and grape seed
  • Plant-based extracts like nettle, horsetail, aloe, lavender, tea tree, and burdock root
  • Functional additives like biotin, menthol, cholecalciferol (Vitamin D), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)

Their best-selling Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil combines over 30 different essential oils and extracts, a signature of “kitchen-to-shelf” brands that started from natural DIY formulations and scaled up.

This level of complexity in formulation signals intentionality: Mielle isn’t about minimalist skincare; it’s about layering proven growth-boosting ingredients for a compounding effect. That makes it both effective and replicable for private label brands with the right R&D partner.

2. Strategic Positioning Post-Acquisition by P&G Beauty

In 2023, Mielle was acquired by Procter & Gamble, a move that validated the brand’s market dominance but also hinted at potential changes behind the curtain: While Mielle continues to operate “independently,” P&G has a long history of vertically integrating supply chains.

It’s likely that manufacturing, sourcing, and even packaging are now partially or fully moved into P&G’s internal contract facilities or optimized vendor partners.

That means smaller brands looking to compete likely won’t get insider access to the same labs, making private label manufacturers with similar capabilities even more valuable.

3. Scalp Health + Length Retention = The Formula for Market Leadership

Mielle’s messaging revolves around “length retention” and “scalp nourishment,” a smart move to appeal to women with textured hair who often struggle with breakage and slow growth. Their hair oil serves both therapeutic (dry scalp, inflammation) and cosmetic (shine, manageability, smell) goals, giving it a multi-use, high-retention value in the market.

What does this mean for emerging founders?

The formula may be proprietary…But the philosophy behind it isn’t. Private label labs that offer hair growth oil private label services can take this approach and custom-build a similar blend, with flexibility on ingredients, scent, packaging, and compliance.

Advanced Marketing Strategy, Simple Price Point

Despite an ingredient list worthy of a $30+ product, Mielle’s hero oil retails for $9.99. This shows they likely benefit from large-scale batch production, minimized COGS via P&G, and aggressive retail placement.

To mirror this price value perception, new private label brands must: Keep packaging costs low (dropper bottles, stock components)

  • Formulate for performance (biotin, essential oils, vitamin D)
  • Balance story + function (emphasize real results & unique angle)

The lesson? Your oil needs to feel premium, but stay affordable.

Why the Manufacturer Isn’t Public (And What That Says)

Let’s address the elephant in the room: No one knows who manufactures Mielle Organics.
And that’s not an accident, it’s by design.

1. Contract Manufacturers = Competitive Edge

In the beauty and CPG world, your manufacturer is often your biggest trade secret.
Why?

Because if competitors know:

  • Who makes your product
  • Where they’re sourcing ingredients
  • What machinery or process is used

…they’re one phone call away from cloning your entire product line. By keeping their manufacturer private, Mielle protects more than just IP, they protect market momentum, ingredient access, and pricing advantages.

2. Mielle Might Not Use Just One Lab

Most people don’t realize that brands at scale often use:

  • One manufacturer for small-batch R&D
  • Another for mass production
  • Another for packaging or filling
  • A backup lab to mitigate supply chain risk

If Mielle were to publicly link themselves to a single lab, any production switch or quality change could turn into a PR nightmare, especially now under P&G’s umbrella. So the strategy? Stay silent. Stay flexible.

3. Secrecy Prevents Underpricing by Indie Brands

If the public knew which lab was producing Mielle’s award-winning Rosemary Mint Oil or Pomegranate Leave-In Conditioner, thousands of private label founders would be lining up to replicate the formula — then undercutting the brand at $6.99 on Amazon.

Instead, that silence preserves brand exclusivity, protects pricing power, and forces newcomers to invest in their own formulations, often through a white-label partner like Private Label Labs offering hair growth oil private label services.

The Takeaway for Founders

The fact that you can’t find Mielle’s manufacturer shouldn’t frustrate you, It should inspire you. Because in this industry, what you don’t say publicly can be your biggest asset. Mielle’s manufacturing silence is a masterclass in brand protection. And for emerging brands? It’s a signal that you don’t need to disclose everything either, especially when you’re working with a lab that gives you exclusivity, custom formulations, and airtight NDAs.

How to Build (or Reverse Engineer) a Similar Hair Growth Oil

Let’s be clear:

You don’t need to know Mielle’s manufacturer to launch a product that competes, or even outperforms.
Smart founders use strategic reverse engineering and a private label hair growth oil partner to get results that feel just as luxurious… with their name on the bottle.

Step 1: Start with the Right Formula Blueprint

Look at Mielle’s Rosemary Mint Oil. What’s the DNA? Nutrient-dense botanical oils (castor, jojoba, almond, coconut)

  • Herbal and essential oils for stimulation (rosemary, peppermint, tea tree)
  • Fortifying agents like biotin, horsetail extract, nettle
  • Clean beauty compliance (no parabens, sulfates, or mineral oils)
  • This gives you a clear base to mimic, or improve upon.

Step 2: Customize for Differentiation

Want to stand out? Then don’t copy, evolve. Add clinical peptides or caffeine for enhanced follicle stimulation

  • Adjust oil ratios to target high-porosity or low-porosity hair
  • Focus on scalp-first application methods (dropper, roller, cooling tip)
  • Your goal is to make a product that feels premium, smells inviting, and delivers noticeable growth support, in 90 days or less.

Step 3: Choose the Packaging That Signals Quality

Packaging isn’t an afterthought, it’s part of the brand experience.

  • Glass bottles with droppers convey apothecary-grade trust
  • Mist sprays work well for lightweight daily application
  • Serum tubes can increase perceived value for scalp treatment routines

Let your packaging reflect performance + positioning.

Step 4: Partner with a Private Label Hair Growth Oil Manufacturer

This is where the rubber meets the road. To get real traction, you need a formulation partner who understands:

  • Natural ingredient sourcing
  • Custom blend creation
  • Scalable batch production
  • Cosmetic labeling + fulfillment

A lab like Private Label Labs specializes in hair growth oil private label manufacturing, making it easy to go from idea → samples → shelf-ready product with full support.

Risks & Legal Considerations

Before you start bottling your version of a “Mielle-style” hair growth oil, let’s talk about the real risks. Because nothing tanks a brand faster than legal trouble, sketchy claims, or a formula you can’t replicate consistently.

This is where serious founders separate themselves from hobbyists.

1. Patent Rights & Formula IP

Yes, natural ingredients like rosemary or castor oil are not patentable. But combinations, processes, delivery systems, or even ratios can be.

Avoid the rookie mistake of blindly copying a formula. You could unknowingly infringe on a protected blend, especially if your lab isn’t proactive in screening formulations.

The goal? Use the blueprint as inspiration, not duplication.

Cosmetic Labeling & FDA Compliance

The FDA doesn’t “approve” cosmetics before they hit the shelf, but they do regulate:
Ingredient disclosures

  • Safety substantiation
  • Claims (you can’t say “cures alopecia” if it doesn’t)
  • Allergens and prohibited substances

⚠️ If your label says “stimulates hair growth”…but your product isn’t backed by appropriate evidence, that’s a legal red flag.

This is why partnering with a private label manufacturer that knows FDA labeling law is critical.

3. Quality Control & Manufacturing Consistency

Imagine this: Your first 500 units feel amazing. Your second batch smells off and separates in the bottle. Now your Amazon reviews are tanking, and customer service is blowing up.

✅ Avoid this with:

  • COAs (Certificates of Analysis)
  • Batch testing for contaminants
  • Clear manufacturing SOPs

Your manufacturer should already have this infrastructure, if not, walk away.

4. Brand Trust vs. “Generic Copycat” Perception

Here’s the truth: if you look like a Mielle dupe, smell like a Mielle dupe, and cost less, some customers might flock to you…But others will write you off as a cheap imitation.

The key is differentiation:

  • Upgrade the packaging
  • Tweak the ingredient blend
  • Target a niche audience (e.g., postpartum moms, protective style users, men with coarse beards)
  • You’re not copying Mielle, you’re building your own lane using what works.

Bottom Line

You can build a best-selling hair growth oil…But if you skip the legal, compliance, or quality groundwork, you’re just a ticking time bomb.

Play it smart. Partner with a private label hair growth oil lab that knows the game.

Who Manufactures Wild Growth Hair Oil?

Published

Wild Growth Hair Oil 4oz Bottle on Gradient Background

Let’s talk about that green bottle, Wild Growth Hair Oil. You’ve seen it all over social media, sitting in people’s “holy grail” hair care routines with reviews that sound like pure magic. But here’s the thing: no one actually knows who manufactures it. Seriously, the company doesn’t list it anywhere.

So, I went digging.

What I found was pretty wild (pun intended). Most brands selling “miracle growth oils” aren’t formulating anything themselves. They’re using private label manufacturers who create and bottle the formulas behind the scenes — and that’s where things get interesting.

If you’re someone who’s been thinking, “I wish I could sell something like Wild Growth Oil but make it my own,” — you actually can.

Companies like Private Label Labs, one of the leading private label hair growth oil producers in the U.S., work directly with brands to recreate that same kind of high-performing blend, with your own scent, bottle design, and label.

And let’s be honest: that’s where the real power is. Owning your brand, not just buying someone else’s dream in a 4 oz bottle.

What Is Wild Growth Hair Oil?

Let’s break down what’s actually inside that iconic green bottle.

Wild Growth Hair Oil (4 oz) has become a cult favorite, especially in the natural and textured hair care world. You’ll see it talked about in forums, TikToks, and YouTube videos where people claim it helped them grow inches of hair or rescue thinning edges.

But what is it really?

This concentrated oil blend is designed to:

• Stimulate hair growth
• Thicken weak strands
• Strengthen edges
• And even reduce blow-drying time (wild, right?)

It’s packed into a 4 oz dropper-style bottle, and while the packaging isn’t flashy, the formula is what really stands out.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

Base Oils: Coconut, Olive, Jojoba, Rice Bran, Cocoa Butter, Pumpkin Seed
Superfoods + Extracts: Acerola, Pomegranate, Rosehip, Mushroom, Chickpea, Lentil, Sesame
• Essential Oils: Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, Clary Sage, Frankincense, Geranium, Grapefruit

Scent profile? Herbal, minty, and earthy — you’ll definitely pick up on the eucalyptus and lavender the second you open it.

But here’s the kicker…

For all its natural goodness, this oil is super concentrated, which is why the directions are so specific. Use it post-wash or between wash days, and only a little bit at a time. Think of it like liquid gold for your scalp and ends.

Ingredient Profile of Wild Growth Hair Oil

Let’s be real, what makes Wild Growth Hair Oil so popular isn’t just the name. It’s the ingredient list. The formula reads like a smoothie for your scalp, packed with natural oils, plant extracts, and vitamins your hair actually understands.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s inside (and why it matters):

  • Olive Oil: Deeply moisturizing and full of antioxidants that protect hair from environmental damage. It’s a staple for strengthening brittle ends.
  • Coconut Oil: A classic in hair care, it penetrates the hair shaft, reducing protein loss and breakage.
  • Jojoba Oil: Structurally similar to human sebum, making it perfect for balancing scalp oils without clogging follicles.
  • Vitamin D, Iron, and Magnesium: These help nourish the scalp, supporting thicker, stronger hair growth from the root.
  • Phosphorus and Calcium: Essential for hair structure and resilience, think of them as the internal scaffolding for healthy strands.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to hydrate, protect, and fortify.

And here’s what most people don’t know:

Every one of these ingredients can be custom blended or reformulated by private label hair growth oil manufacturers to match or even outperform Wild Growth’s effects. That means if you love this formula but want to make it your own, different scent, lighter texture, faster absorption, you can.

That’s how new brands are being born every single month: taking inspiration from cult classics, but building smarter, fresher, and cleaner versions for their audience.

Can You Create a Hair Oil Like Wild Growth Under Your Own Brand?

Yes, and it’s surprisingly accessible for entrepreneurs who want to launch a natural hair growth product.

Companies like Private Label Labs specialize in helping new and established brands develop custom hair oils inspired by top-performing formulas like Wild Growth Hair Oil.

Here’s how the process typically works:

Start with a Proven Formula or Build Your Own

Many private label manufacturers offer a base formula similar to what Wild Growth uses, packed with botanical oils like coconut, jojoba, olive, and more. Entrepreneurs can tweak these formulas to match their brand values, texture preferences, or scent profiles.

Add Custom Ingredients to Fit Your Target Audience

It’s common to enhance the formula by adding:

• Biotin or caffeine for hair stimulation
• Rosemary or castor oil for scalp health
• Herbal infusions or vitamins for unique differentiation

Packaging & Application Customization

From dropper bottles to spray nozzles or serum pumps, manufacturers offer various formats to suit different audiences, whether for textured hair, postpartum regrowth, or men’s beard oil.

Fulfillment Options

Some manufacturers, including Private Label Labs, provide direct-to-consumer fulfillment options, meaning the product can be shipped straight from the facility to the buyer, helping reduce overhead and speed up delivery.

Why Choose a U.S.-Based Private Label Manufacturer?

If you’re considering launching a hair growth oil brand, choosing a U.S.-based private label manufacturer comes with several critical advantages, especially when compared to overseas options.

Faster Lead Times

Domestic manufacturers often provide shorter turnaround times due to geographic proximity, fewer customs delays, and streamlined logistics. This speed can be a game-changer when you’re testing new product lines or scaling up inventory during high-demand seasons.

Better Compliance with U.S. Labeling & Ingredient Standards

Manufacturers in the U.S. are more familiar with FDA labeling guidelines, INCI compliance, and state-level cosmetics regulations. This reduces the legal risk and ensures your product is ready for retail, online sales, and even big-box store distribution if you scale.

Greater Control Over Packaging & Customization

Working with a local supplier often means easier collaboration on:

  • Packaging types (glass droppers, plastic bottles, airless pumps)
  • Labeling materials (waterproof, eco-friendly, etc.)
  • Small batch testing before full-scale production

This flexibility lets your brand stay agile and iterate based on customer feedback.

Transparent Communication & Quality Assurance

Time zones matter. So does language clarity and direct access to lab technicians or account managers. U.S.-based private label partners typically provide faster responses, real-time updates, and better quality control protocols, including product testing and recall readiness.

Should You Build Your Own Hair Growth Oil Brand?

The demand for natural, effective hair growth solutions, especially those inspired by popular products like Wild Growth Hair Oil, continues to rise.
