About Us
At Covalo we're disrupting how products are made in the $3 trillion consumer goods industry so sustainable products can be made more quickly and easily.
We’re making consumer goods product development fast and easy so brands in the beauty, home care and food sectors can reduce time to market. By beauty, home care, and food brands we’re talking about companies that produce things like granola bars, laundry detergent, and shampoo. Using Covalo, brands can find the right ingredients and packaging, manage their formulation projects, and select the right service providers - from contract manufacturing to testing to regulatory - all from one place.
By creating one of the world's largest consumer goods supplier databases and the most comprehensive sustainability-related search criteria, our mission is to expedite transparency and sustainability in the consumer goods industry.
Join us to make sustainable consumer goods product development fast and easy, and to disrupt how brands innovate today.

You’ll have the freedom to drive the creation of an innovative new product and to bring new ideas to the table. And you’ll have the flexibility to work partially remotely.
