James Crosty & Paul R Thompson Root Source Inc. was co-founded by James Crosty and Paul R Thompson. These two world-class experts in natural Cosmetics and Private Label development created two award-winning companies that reached international success in less than a decade.
Hands on Experience The first company, CAQTI Cosmetics Inc. (1990 – 2003) was a professional Salon and Spa corporation providing hair and skin care essentials to the professional industry. CAQTI spearheaded the ‘natural movement’ in the professional salon industry. This line consisted of over 40 product entries and was distributed worldwide. It was a leader in natural product development for this discerning market and was recognized by Faith Popcorn, as a product line that is “right on trend.” Relevant Private Label Experience These gentlemen also created Liquid Labs Ltd. (1996 – 2003), the first and original One-Stop-Shop private label/contract packaging for clients wishing to bring their own products to the world markets. This operation was a 20,000 sq. ft. located in super natural Vancouver British Columbia Canada. This private label facility manufactured high-end cosmetics and other products for corporations spanning the globe. It was the first of its kind in North America to provide clients with a full service capability. This full service included: Research and Development, Component Sourcing (bottles, caps, product boxes, shipping boxes), Batching and Production, Branding, Corporate ID packages, Website Development, Professional Consulting in Marketing, Sales and Distribution, Silk Screen Printing, Label Printing, Shipping and Receiving. By combining all these services under on roof, Crosty and Thompson elevated the world of Private Label to a new benchmark and to award winning status. Their Private Label experience alone has seen this professional team bring over 150 brands to market in the past 7 years alone. This astonishing number of clients and products shows that Crosty Thompson work tirelessly and expeditiously to satisfy a clients need and desire to entry a product into the global markets.
