Protopical Solutions Brings Topical Products to Market
The ProTopical Solutions team at work in the clean room, ensuring precision, quality, and innovation at every step.
For startups bringing new topical products to market, manufacturing can be one of the biggest barriers to success. High minimum order requirements and limited access to specialized production often put innovation out of reach. ProTopical Solutions is working to change that, providing formulation development and Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) manufacturing services designed specifically to help emerging brands test, launch, and grow.
By offering flexible manufacturing capabilities tailored to emerging businesses, ProTopical provides an accessible pathway for entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to market, gain traction, and scale sustainably. And when demand increases, they are ready with trusted industry partners to support the next stage of growth.
Joining the Warehouse Business Accelerator Innovation Hub at Forge Campus was a turning point for ProTopical Solutions. While searching for a manufacturing facility, the team found that most available spaces were simply empty warehouses, far from ideal for the specialized demands of clean-room production. At the Innovation Hub, they found not only the industrial infrastructure needed to launch their operations, but also an entrepreneurial ecosystem designed to support growth. With access to technical resources, business guidance, and a collaborative startup community, the ProTopical team has found invaluable support as they build a strong foundation for long-term success in Northern Colorado.
That foundation has taken significant work. Throughout 2025, ProTopical focused on designing and building its manufacturing infrastructure, working closely with architects, contractors, and the City of Loveland permitting office while installing specialized equipment. Equally important was the development of a robust Quality Management System, a critical FDA requirement that ensures the safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity of every product they produce.
Today, ProTopical has successfully completed both its manufacturing buildout and the quality systems needed to support compliant, long-term growth.
Beyond the technical milestones, ProTopical has felt strong support from both the dermatology industry and the Northern Colorado entrepreneurial community. Their mission remains clear: to provide an affordable, attainable entry point for small and emerging companies looking to transform innovative product ideas into market-ready solutions.
That mindset of helping others extends beyond manufacturing. Matthew Ebeimer, co-founder of ProTopical Solutions, shared one phrase that has long inspired his work: “One of my favorite terms from working with patents and patent attorneys is ‘skilled in the art.’” It’s a concept that reflects ProTopical’s commitment not only to technical excellence, but also to education and mentorship as they help train the next generation of scientists, engineers, and manufacturing professionals.
With specialized expertise, a commitment to quality, and a passion for supporting emerging innovators, ProTopical Solutions is helping shape the future of product development, right here at the Warehouse Business Accelerator.
