Private Label Collagen Cream
The name that needs no education — plumping comfort in a jar.
Formats we fill this emulsion into
Mixed-variant orders can split the stated MOQ across formats under one brand.
| Format / Specification | MOQ | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Collagen 5% + HA cream, 50 ml jar | 1,000 pcs | 10–15 days |
| Collagen + peptide masstige build, 50 ml | 1,000 pcs | 10–15 days |
| Collagen set (cream + serum) | 1,000 sets | 10–15 days |
MOQ and lead time above are the standard liquid, cream and gel route. The real minimum is set by the manufacturing system rather than the category: surfactant systems (shampoo, body wash) start at 2,000 pcs, stick formats at 3,000, and powders and sheet masks at 5,000 — with longer production runs to match.
Collagen cream is the jarred sibling of the best-known ingredient in beauty. Customers arrive pre-sold; the formula's job is delivering an immediate plump-and-smooth feel via hydrolyzed collagen films plus humectants, with peptides carrying the honest long-term story.
We build in three tiers — mass pump jar, masstige glass jar, premium airless — and pair the collagen system with niacinamide or peptides depending on the shelf you target.
Pair this with
Private Label Collagen Serum
The ingredient everyone knows — plumping comfort with honest science.
Private Label Moisturizing Cream
The everyday face cream that carries a brand — engineered by texture tier, not by price alone.
Private Label Peptide Serum
Multi-peptide firming serums for the premium shelf — priced and dosed where real peptides live.
Buyer guides for this build
Before you brief a supplier on this category, these are the guides that answer the questions buyers ask next — timelines, order quantities, cost structure and compliance.
Why texture is signed off against a sample
Two emulsions can share a viscosity reading and still feel entirely different in the hand. That is why the retained Golden Sample is kept on file and a batch is compared with it at release rather than with a written tolerance alone.
Production runs on GMPC and ISO 22716 certified lines under manufacturing licence 粤妆20250206, with traceability from raw material to carton on every batch.
Viscosity is a curve, not a number
An emulsion thickens and thins as it cools, and the curve looks different for every emulsifier system. The figure on a specification sheet is one point on that curve, measured at one temperature.
That matters at fill as much as at the shelf. The product has to flow through the line while still setting to the texture the customer expects in the jar, so fill temperature and cooling rate are treated as part of the formulation.
Which route fits which shelf
Two routes can share a name on the pack and still be built from entirely different emulsifier families.
| Route | Texture character | Typical brief |
|---|---|---|
| Concentrated base | Thick in the jar, spreads thin | Face creams sold on a little going a long way |
| Anionic-emulsified | Classic body, broad compatibility | Mainstream creams where cost leads |
| Polymeric-stabilised | Light body at a low emulsifier load | Sprays and fluid lotions |
| Light lotion | Fast-absorbing with little residue | Volume body and face lines sold on daily use |
Questions we answer on every cream brief
Does topical collagen rebuild collagen?
It films and plumps the surface immediately; peptides provide the signaling story. We word the copy to be both attractive and defensible.
Which tier sells fastest?
Masstige glass jars dominate gifting seasons; mass pump jars win everyday repurchase. Many brands launch both at different margins.
Suitable for oily skin?
The gel-cream variant with reduced shea is the oily-skin route; standard build targets normal-to-dry.
The route an emulsified base takes through production
- 1
Cool on a controlled ramp
The cooling rate decides how the fatty alcohols and butters crystallise, and therefore how smooth the finished cream turns out.
- 2
Set the oil phase against the brief
Emollients, butters and oils are chosen for the after-feel the brief describes, then costed against the price tier.
- 3
Cycle against the destination
Heat, cold and freeze-thaw cycling replicate the shipping route before the batch is released.
- 4
Build the rheology
Thickener and fatty alcohol levels are tuned to reach the viscosity and yield point the pack format needs.
What you can change on this build
- Mass / masstige / premium three-tier packaging
- Vegan collagene-like ferment route
- Night-repair richer variant
- Set bundling with collagen serum
The functional system behind the texture
INCI names and typical levels reflect publicly documented formulation practice. All values are adjustable in your build.
| Ingredient (INCI) | Typical Level | Function & Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrolyzed Collagen | 2–8% | Surface plumping film |
| Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 | 1% | Collagen-signaling support |
| Glycerin + Urea | 5–8% | Deep humectant comfort |
| Shea Butter | 3–8% | Occlusive cushion |
Four points that fix the texture
Freeze-thaw is the harshest check
A shipment that freezes and thaws in transit can break an emulsion that passed every other test. The cycling study reproduces that route for the markets where it happens.
Cooling rate sets the crystal
Fatty alcohols and butters crystallise as the batch cools. Ramp the temperature too quickly and the texture turns grainy in a way that only shows up weeks later.
pH drift and the active inside
Emulsions buffer slowly. Where an active has a pH window, that window is verified at fill and again at the end of the stability study.
Fill temperature and the line
The product has to be fluid enough to fill and structured enough to hold its shape in the pack. Both are read off the same viscosity curve.
Bring us the shelf life, not just the formula
The stability window decides the emulsifier system. Tell us how long the product has to hold, and we build backwards from that number.
