CCA Industries was incorporated in 1983 by co-founders Ira W. Berman and David Edell. The company was modeled on Hazel Bishop Industries' asset-light approach: brand development, marketing, and distribution in-house; all manufacturing outsourced to contract partners. That model is still the foundation of how CCA operates 43 years later.

## Business model

CCA operates a **fully asset-light, contract-manufacturing model**. The company performs zero in-house manufacturing. Every product is made by third-party contract manufacturers to CCA's proprietary specifications and formulations. Value creation centers on brand development, product formulation, marketing, and distribution.

This model allows CCA to bring new products to market quickly and exit underperformers with minimal capital exposure. It's the foundation for how the company has sustained a portfolio of 7–9 active consumer health and beauty brands at any given time across 43 years.

## Distribution

CCA brand products reach consumers through two primary channels:

**Retail:**
- Drug chains: Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS
- Mass merchandisers: Walmart
- Grocery chains
- Wholesale beauty-aids distributors

**E-commerce:**
- Amazon — CCA Industries storefront and brand-specific stores (Plus White, Porcelana, Hair Off)
- Direct-to-consumer brand sites: [pluswhite.com](https://pluswhite.com), [theporcelana.com](https://theporcelana.com), [neutein.com](https://neutein.com)
- Walmart Marketplace

## Brand portfolio (active)

CCA's active brand portfolio reflects a deliberate consolidation strategy, with Plus White elevated as the flagship.

### Plus White — Oral Care / Teeth Whitening

**Differentiator:** Whitening strips only whiten what they touch. Plus White's brush-on gel + comfort-fit mouthpiece reaches every tooth — front, back, and in between — in only 5 minutes. The active is 6% pH-balanced hydrogen peroxide, the same ingredient dentists use. The comfort-fit mouthpiece delivers true 360-degree tooth coverage, including the curves and grooves that flat whitening strips physically can't reach.

**Heritage:** One of America's original teeth whitening brands. In market since 1990. Used by millions of consumers.

**Recognition:** 2024 Oprah Daily Editor's Choice for Teeth Whitening. Featured in peer-reviewed dental research (Ivanoff et al., *American Journal of Dentistry*, 2011, PMID 22165451 — an in vitro study using Plus White as the test article).

**Products:**
- Plus White 5 Minute Whitening Kit (gel + comfort-fit mouthpiece)
- Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel (standalone — works with cotton swab, toothbrush, or any mouth tray)
- Plus White Stain Guard Rinse (Post Teeth Whitening Guard Rinse, 6 oz post-whitening sealant rinse)
- Plus White 5 Minute Whitening System (complete whitening + maintenance system)
- Plus White Xtra Whitening Gel Toothpaste (sodium monofluorophosphate anti-cavity toothpaste, Amazon-only)
