Nasolabial Fold Repair Collagen Patch
A targeted patch for the nasolabial folds, and the hardest adhesion problem in this category. The nasolabial area folds and moves constantly, it sits next to the mouth, and it is one of the few facial sites where a patch has to hold through active expression. That makes the substrate and die-cut specification the real engineering work here, not the actives — and we would rather lead with that than pretend an ingredient list solves it. What the product does is hold moisture against a crease so the line looks softer and less set.
Product Overview
| MOQ | 5,000–10,000 sheets / SKU |
| Lead Time | 45–55 days |
| Sampling | 3–4 weeks for a custom sample round |
| Sizes | Targeted patch |
| Packaging | Individual pouch or box packaging |
| Mini Pack | No - Already in individual packs |
| Suitable For | Pronounced nasolabial folds, dry skin |
| Pricing | Quoted per project once the die-cut shape, serum load and pack format are fixed. This is a small-format patch, so tooling and sachet film carry proportionally more of the unit cost than the serum does. |

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 targeted patch the substrate and fit specification matter as much as the actives, so they are specified alongside them.
Hydrogel Substrate (Agar / Carrageenan gel matrix)gel matrix, die-cut to the nasolabial shape
The component that decides whether this product works. A nasolabial patch must stay seated on a crease that opens and closes with every expression, and it sits close enough to the mouth that edge lift is immediately noticeable. Gel strength and die-cut geometry are tuned together: firmer gel resists peeling at the fold, softer gel conforms into it more completely. We treat this as the primary development variable and expect to iterate it at sampling rather than getting it right on the first sheet.
Hydrolysed Collagengrade and level set per project
Present for after-feel and for the category recognition the name carries. Topical collagen does not penetrate meaningfully and does not become your own collagen — it holds water at the surface and leaves the skin looking smoother and more cushioned after removal. On a crease that reads as a shadow, surface plumping genuinely changes how set the line looks, so the honest mechanism is enough to support the claim. Marine and bovine grades are both available and the source decides halal and vegan positioning.
Hyaluronic Acidrange 0.1–0.5% total sodium hyaluronate
The main hydration workhorse on this format, and a case where a multi-weight blend earns its cost. The long occluded contact time gives lower-weight fractions a chance to matter, while high molecular weight holds water at the surface where the smoothing effect is visible. The 0.1–0.5% band is the industry baseline for a supporting humectant and sits inside the sheet-mask range reported to CIR. Capped at 0.5% total because tackiness near the mouth is noticed immediately and interferes with makeup applied afterwards.
Ceramidesceramide blend as the barrier component, grade and loading per project
Here because a crease that is dry looks deeper than the same crease when the barrier is comfortable, which is a real and often overlooked contributor to how set a line appears. Ceramides support the barrier under occlusion, where the patch already reduces water loss during wear. Supportable wording stays at supporting the look and feel of the skin barrier rather than barrier repair, which is a physiological claim.
Peptide Complexbaseline 3% · range 3–4% on the trade-solution basis
Quoted on the supplier trade-solution basis rather than as pure peptide, the only basis on which peptide numbers are comparable between suppliers. Claim ceiling is helping improve the look of fine lines and firmness over continued use. We do not write that peptides fill, rebuild or stimulate collagen production — filling a fold is what an injectable does, and borrowing that language on a cosmetic patch is the overreach this category is most prone to.
Formulation & Customization Options
| Service model | OEM from your formula or ODM from this baseline; die-cut shape, serum load and pack format specified per project |
| Fit specification | Gel strength and die-cut geometry tuned for adhesion on a moving fold; we treat this as the primary development variable and recommend budgeting a sampling round specifically for fit |
| Claim wording | Softer and less-set looking nasolabial lines, smoother-looking skin around the mouth. We do not write filling, wrinkle-removal or line-erasing claims, which borrow injectable language |
| Adjustable elements | Serum load per sheet; gel strength; ceramide loading; hyaluronic acid weight profile and level within 0.1–0.5%; collagen grade and source; peptide tier |
| Target pH | Set near-neutral, which suits the gel matrix and the peptide phase; final value confirmed per project |
| Packaging | Individual foil sachet or box pack; the moisture barrier is what keeps a hydrogel sheet at its intended water load through shelf life, so sachet is the practical default even in a boxed presentation |
| 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 the collagen source is the deciding factor |
Who This Product Is Built For
Brands building a targeted-patch set
Nasolabial folds are a concern customers self-diagnose and shop for by name, and a targeted patch is a lower-price entry than a serum. Works as a set with the Collagen Brightening Hydrogel Eye Patch covering the other most-asked-about area.
Mature-skin positioning
This is one of the few areas where customers over thirty-five will buy a single-concern product, which makes it a useful acquisition SKU for a range that otherwise sells general moisturisers.
Overnight and multi-step routines
Long wear suits an overnight step, and the Overnight Collagen Eye & Cheek Sleep Patch runs the same substrate approach for the eye and cheek area if you want a full night protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ and lead time?
Expect 5,000–10,000 sheets per SKU, 3–4 weeks to sample, then 45–55 days to produce with stability testing built into that timeline. Die-cut tooling is per shape, so on a small targeted patch the shape decision affects unit cost more than the serum specification does.
Will it actually stay on the nasolabial fold?
That is the real question on this product and we would rather address it directly than claim it is solved. The nasolabial area folds with every expression and sits near the mouth, so it is the most demanding adhesion site on the face. Gel strength and die-cut geometry are tuned specifically for it, and we recommend you budget a sampling round to evaluate fit on real faces. Getting this right matters more to your reviews than any active in the formula.
Can we claim it fills or removes the fold?
No. Filling a fold is what an injectable does, and borrowing that language on a cosmetic patch is the most common overreach in this category. What we write is that lines look softer and less set, which is an appearance claim supported by surface hydration and plumping. It ships across the EU, ASEAN and US without a filing, and it sets an expectation the product can actually meet.
How is this different from a sheet mask on the same area?
A full-face sheet mask does not maintain contact inside a crease, which is exactly where the effect is needed. A die-cut hydrogel patch is shaped and gelled to sit into the fold and hold a water load there for the full wear time. If a customer is happy with a full-face mask, that is a legitimate cheaper choice — the targeted patch earns its price only if the fit is right, which is why we push on the fit specification.
Can we make it vegan?
Yes, by dropping the collagen and letting hyaluronic acid, ceramides and peptides carry the effect. The gel matrix is plant-derived polysaccharide and the peptides are synthetic. Ceramides can be sourced plant-derived or synthetic, so confirm that with us at brief stage as well. Raise vegan positioning early rather than after sampling, since removing collagen changes the after-feel.
Can we private label this?
Yes. Sachet film, box, insert and die-cut geometry are specified per project, and the shape can be adjusted to suit your target market face profile. Tell us your target retail price at brief stage and we will build the specification toward it.
