NDAs, Non-Competes & Confidentiality for Beauty Brands

Protect the conversations that build your brand.

In beauty and personal care, you talk to a lot of people to grow—labs, freelancers, advisors, influencers, consultants, interns.

Some help shape your brand. Others just hear the good stuff.

Whether you’re sharing your formula, your growth plans, or your launch strategy, your information needs legal boundaries. At tmalaw, we help you set them early and clearly—without slowing your momentum.

Is This For You?

You might need help with NDAs and confidentiality if:

You’re sharing sensitive info with a formulator, agency, or collaborator
You want to protect your product roadmap, vendor list, or launch plans
You’re onboarding contractors, interns, or fractional teams
You’re pitching to retailers or partners and need a layer of security
You’re preparing to fundraise or white-label and want guardrails in place

Brands often ask us:

"Do I really need an NDA for this?"
"What if they already saw the formula?"
"How do I keep freelancers or interns from copying my brand?"
"Is this enforceable in my state?"
"Do I need a non-compete or just a confidentiality clause?"

We help you draw the line—strategically and enforceably.

Mini-Blog: What If Your Next Big Collab Needs an NDA That Gets Both Sides?

You’ve landed a dream collab: a high-profile influencer with real sway in your product category is ready to help co-create your next launch. They’re excited. You’re excited. The energy is right.

But there’s one thing standing between you and that viral development journey: confidentiality.

The influencer wants to document the behind-the-scenes process for their followers—teasing ingredients, filming brainstorming sessions, maybe even sharing packaging mockups. Meanwhile, you’re sitting on proprietary formulations, trade secret strategies, and a very real fear of oversharing.

Here’s the thing: you shouldn’t have to choose between brand protection and creative collaboration.

This is exactly the kind of situation where a smart, customized NDA changes the game. Not a download. Not a template. But an agreement designed to preserve the magic of the moment without exposing your brand to risk.

When you’ve got a lawyer who understands both the legal risks and the influencer marketing world, the result is:
