Premium (hero product)
Collagen Face Patch
A full-face hydrogel patch built around one honest premise: the substrate does most of the work. Hydrogel is chosen over non-woven because it holds a high water load, sits flat against the face without lifting at the edges, and delivers the cooling sensation that makes the format feel like a treatment. The actives support the story, but the reason a hydrogel patch outperforms a paper mask is physical, not chemical. We would rather explain that than sell you a percentage.
Product Overview

Key Active Ingredients
How the Active Ingredients Work
The system below is our standard ODM baseline for the serum load, adjustable for your target market and price point. On a patch, the substrate specification matters at least as much as the actives, so it is specified alongside them rather than treated as packaging.
Hydrogel Substrate (Agar / Carrageenan gel matrix)gel matrix carrying roughly 25ml serum per sheet
The actual hero of this format, and specified first for that reason. A gelled polysaccharide sheet holds far more water than a non-woven carrier and releases it slowly, which is why hydrogel patches stay wet for the full wear time instead of drying out and pulling moisture back off the skin. It also conforms to facial contours under its own weight, so it keeps contact in humid conditions where a paper mask slides. Gel strength is the parameter to tune: firmer gel survives shipping and handling better, softer gel drapes better on the face.
Hydrolysed Collagengrade and level set per project
Present for skin feel and for the category recognition the collagen name carries, and we prefer to be straight about the mechanism. The molecules are far too large to cross the barrier in any meaningful quantity, and nothing about applying them converts into collagen your own skin has built. What they genuinely do is hold water at the surface and leave the plump, bouncy after-feel customers notice in the mirror. Marine and bovine grades are both available and the choice decides your halal and vegan positioning, so it is worth settling early.
Peptide Complexbaseline 3% · range 3–4% on the trade-solution basis
Quoted on the supplier trade-solution basis, not as pure peptide — the distinction that makes peptide numbers comparable instead of meaningless. Ask any supplier which basis their figure refers to, because a higher number on a different basis can mean less actual peptide. Supportable wording stays at helping improve the look of firmness and smoothness over continued use. We do not write that peptides stimulate collagen production, which is a physiological claim a cosmetic cannot carry.
Hyaluronic Acidrange 0.1–0.5% total sodium hyaluronate
Working with the gel matrix on surface hydration rather than acting as a standalone claim. Low to mid molecular weight leads on a patch because the long contact time actually gives smaller fractions a chance to matter, which is not true of a rinse-off product. The 0.1–0.5% band is the industry baseline for a supporting humectant and sits inside the sheet-mask range reported to CIR for this category. Capped at 0.5% total because past that point the serum gets stringy and the sheet becomes unpleasant to peel from its liner.
Cooling Agents (Menthol / Menthyl Lactate)low level, tuned to sensation rather than to a claim
Delivering the cooling effect that makes this read as a treatment rather than a moisturiser. Menthyl lactate is the gentler option and preferable near the eye area since it gives a longer, softer cold than menthol at the same perceived intensity. Level is set by sensory panel, not by a target percentage, and we write cooling and refreshing only — not soothing in a therapeutic sense, and never anti-inflammatory.
Formulation & Customization Options
| Service model | OEM from your formula or ODM from this baseline; sheet die-cut shape, serum load and box configuration are all specified per project |
| Substrate choice | Hydrogel as standard for the premium tier; non-woven and bio-cellulose are the standard alternatives in this category and we quote them against your price point and shipping weight, though the wear experience is genuinely different and worth sampling side by side |
| Adjustable elements | Serum load per sheet; gel strength; cooling intensity; collagen grade and source; peptide tier including an assist level at 1% trade solution where cost leads |
| Collagen source | Marine or bovine hydrolysed collagen; the choice drives halal and vegan positioning, and a peptide-only vegan version is available if collagen is a constraint |
| Target pH | Set near-neutral, which suits the gel matrix and the peptide phase; final value confirmed per project |
| Packaging | Individual foil sachet as standard, or box of 5 or 10 sheets; sachet is the practical default because a hydrogel sheet needs a moisture barrier to keep its water load through shelf life |
| Certifications | Manufacturing is ISO 22716 and GMPC certified, with SGS testing supported on request. Halal, COSMOS and vegan routes are scoped to your requirement rather than pre-held, and on this formula the collagen source is the deciding factor |
Who This Product Is Built For
Brands opening with a hero SKU
A full-face hydrogel patch photographs well and justifies a premium price without needing a claim that is hard to substantiate, which makes it a workable range opener. The format does the selling.
Salon and spa channels
Long wear time and the cooling finish suit a treatment setting, and individual sachets handle well in a service environment. Pairs naturally with the Collagen Brightening Hydrogel Eye Patch as a two-step protocol.
Humid-climate markets
Hydrogel holds contact where a paper mask slips, which is a real advantage in Southeast Asian conditions and the reason we lead with this substrate for the region rather than defaulting to non-woven.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ and lead time?
Sheets run 5,000–10,000 per SKU, with 45–55 days from sample approval to delivery — stability testing sits inside that window. Allow 3–4 weeks for sampling before it starts. The band is wider than on our bottled lines because die-cut tooling and sachet film are set up per SKU, so your shape and pack choices move the figure more than the formula ever will.
Does the collagen rebuild our customers skin?
No, and we will not write copy implying it does. The molecule cannot cross the barrier in any useful amount, and applying it does not add to the collagen your skin makes. Its real contribution is holding water right at the surface, which is where the plump after-feel in the product name comes from. Selling that honestly is more durable than a mechanism claim an informed customer or a regulator can pick apart.
Why is hydrogel more expensive than a sheet mask?
Because the substrate is a manufactured gel sheet rather than a piece of non-woven fabric soaked in serum, and it carries several times the water load. The cost sits in the substrate and the moisture-barrier sachet, not in the actives. If your price point cannot carry it, a non-woven version is a legitimate option — just sample both, because the wear experience differs enough that customers notice.
Can we make it vegan?
Yes — the collagen comes out and the peptides and hyaluronic acid take over the hydration and bounce. Everything else already qualifies: the gel matrix is a plant-derived polysaccharide and the peptides are synthetic, which leaves collagen as the single blocker. Flag it at brief stage rather than after sampling, because removing it changes the after-feel enough that the vegan version deserves evaluating on its own terms.
How long can it be worn?
Fifteen to twenty minutes is the standard direction, and unlike a paper mask it does not dry out and start pulling moisture back off the skin within that window. Longer wear is physically fine but delivers diminishing returns, and we would rather your directions match what the product actually does than overstate it.
Can we private label this?
Yes. Sachet film, box, insert and die-cut shape are all specified per project, and the shape is part of the brand rather than a fixed constraint. Tell us your target retail price at brief stage and we will build the specification to reach it rather than quoting a premium build and discounting afterwards.
