Modern Chemistry Labs Rebrands, Acquires ATTAIN Cosmetics

REDMOND, Ore., Oct. 7, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Modern Chemistry Labs, formerly McConnell Labs, has undergone a significant transformation, rebranding and acquiring ATTAIN Cosmetics as part of a strategic move to expand its market reach and service offerings. The company, now operating under the Modern Chemistry Labs (MCL) name, has appointed industry veteran Elizabeth Morris as its new CEO.

Morris, a 15-year veteran of the beauty industry, brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Her career has spanned various roles, including financial analyst, corporate controller, and brand founder. Morris’s background in both finance and beauty operations will be crucial as MCL aims to provide high-performance chemistry, clear communication, and reliable execution for its brand partners.

The acquisition of ATTAIN Cosmetics, a beauty brand founded by Morris, marks a significant step in MCL’s growth strategy. ATTAIN Cosmetics was developed and manufactured at MCL’s Redmond facility, making this acquisition a seamless transition. Morris, who was previously the founder and CEO of ATTAIN, will now lead the company from the inside, bringing a unique perspective to the leadership team.

MCL specializes in the formulation and manufacturing of specialized UV gel systems, skincare, and other beauty and personal-care products. The company supports customers across multiple stages of the product lifecycle, including formulation and product development, batch manufacturing, filling and packaging, quality control, documentation, and regulatory support. The rebranding and acquisition are expected to solidify MCL’s position as a leading provider of contract development and manufacturing services for mid-sized and growing indie beauty brands.

MCL will continue to operate from its Redmond facility, offering brand founders on-site facility access, technical strategy sessions, and direct collaboration with its R&D team. The company is targeting mid-sized and growing indie beauty brands seeking custom formulation and agile domestic production between low-cost overseas suppliers and high-volume, enterprise Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

With Morris at the helm, MCL is poised for continued growth and innovation in the beauty and personal care industry. The company’s commitment to high-performance chemistry and customer-centric service is expected to drive its success in the competitive market.
