Hyaluronic Acid Gummy Manufacturer for Global Brands
EUPHM produces hyaluronic acid gummies at 1,000 unit MOQ, with 7–10 day samples and 20–35 day mass production. GMP, ISO 22000, HACCP, halal lines support US, EU, UK and Middle East launches.

Overview
Sourcing a hyaluronic acid gummy that holds its label claim and survives retail distribution is a formulation and process problem, not just a purchasing decision. EUPHM runs pectin and gelatin gummy lines in Guangdong, with in-house dosing control for hyaluronic acid from 20 mg to 120 mg per gummy. This page covers the specifications, ingredient grades, filling options and compliance documents you will need before placing a purchase order.

Production Capacity and Gummy Formats
EUPHM operates depositing lines with a daily output of 1.2 to 1.8 million gummies across two shifts. Hyaluronic acid gummies run in pectin, gelatin and mixed gels. Standard moulds include bear, round, square, heart and star shapes at 2.5 g to 5.0 g. We can run custom moulds from 10,000 units per shape. Bottling runs on the same site, from 30-count to 120-count PET or HDPE bottles, with induction seals, child-resistant caps and desiccant options.
For pilot runs, the line minimum is 1,000 units per SKU, which lets you test stability and consumer response before committing to a full 1,000 unit order. Changeover between flavours takes 4 to 6 hours, so multi-flavour orders are scheduled in blocks to reduce downtime. Lead times stay at 20–35 working days for orders up to 500,000 units, provided raw materials are in stock. Hyaluronic acid powder is held in controlled storage and released by batch.
Formulation and Ingredient Sourcing
Hyaluronic acid is supplied as sodium hyaluronate, typically 100–200 kDa molecular weight for oral gummies. We dose at 20 mg to 120 mg per piece, with overage of 5–10% to cover degradation over 18–24 months. Common combinations include vitamin C, collagen peptides, biotin and vitamin E. Pectin-based formulas are vegan and use fruit pectin with sodium citrate; gelatin formulas give a firmer chew. Flavour systems are natural or nature-identical, with no titanium dioxide.
We source sodium hyaluronate from suppliers with USP or EP grade documentation, and each lot arrives with a certificate of analysis. You can specify the country of origin for the HA raw material, and we will hold that supplier for repeat orders. Sugar-free versions use maltitol or allulose, with 0–2 g of sugar per gummy. Colour comes from fruit and vegetable concentrates such as black carrot, spirulina and paprika. Every formula is tested for potency, pH and water activity before depositing.
Quality Control, Compliance and Shipping
EUPHM is an FDA-registered facility and holds GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP certifications. halal and vegan certificates are available on request for the relevant lines. Every batch of hyaluronic acid gummies is tested for HA content by HPLC, plus micro, heavy metals and stability. We retain samples for 24 months. Documentation includes certificate of analysis, certificate of origin, allergen statement and nutritional panel for US, EU, UK and GCC labelling.
Shipping is arranged from Shenzhen or Hong Kong ports. Air freight for samples takes 3–5 days to the US and 2–4 days to the EU. Sea freight to Los Angeles is 18–22 days; to Rotterdam 28–32 days. We provide commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and health certificate. For Middle East orders, we include halal certificate and shelf-life statement. MOQ for retail bottling remains 1,000 units per SKU, and we can consolidate multiple SKUs into one shipment.
Quality Control and Batch Documentation
Every production batch of hyaluronic acid gummies is sampled at three points: incoming raw material, in-process gummy mass, and finished packed goods. Incoming hyaluronic acid is tested for identity by FTIR and for potency by HPLC against a validated standard, with a specification of 95.0 to 102.0 percent of label claim. Gelatin or pectin, sweeteners and colours are checked against COA and in-house specification before release to the dispensing area. In-process checks cover weight variation at plus or minus 3 percent, texture and pH, and hyaluronic acid uniformity by taking six cores across the batch.
Finished-product testing is carried out on a composite sample from each lot. Potency is verified by HPLC, microbials by total aerobic count, yeast and mould, E. coli and Salmonella, and heavy metals by ICP-MS for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury against the limits in USP <2232> or the destination market's requirements. Disintegration is run in purified water at 37 degrees Celsius to confirm the gummy breaks down within the target window, typically under 30 minutes for pectin and under 20 minutes for gelatin. Each lot receives a batch number that links the COA, the dispensing record and the retention sample.
The certificate of analysis issued with each shipment states the product name, batch number, manufacture and expiry dates, and the test methods used. Results are reported against specification with pass or fail, and the signature of the QC manager. Where a buyer needs it, we add a statement of allergen status, a non-GMO declaration and a residual solvent screen. COAs are issued in PDF and can be matched to a specific PO and SKU code so that the receiving warehouse can reconcile documents without emailing for clarification.
Retention samples of every batch are held for the shelf life plus six months in the factory's controlled storage at 25 degrees Celsius and 60 percent relative humidity. The stability protocol runs at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for potency, microbials, moisture and sensory attributes, with accelerated conditions at 40 degrees Celsius and 75 percent relative humidity for 6 months to support early shelf-life claims. Buyers can request the stability summary for the relevant formula before committing to a label claim.
Packaging, Labelling and Retail Readiness
Hyaluronic acid gummies are packed in HDPE bottles with induction seals and child-resistant or standard caps, in blister packs of 10 or 12, in single-serve stick packs, or in sachets for sample and travel formats. Bottle sizes commonly run from 30 to 120 gummies, with desiccant where the formula is moisture-sensitive. We hold tooling for 150 ml, 250 ml and 500 ml bottles, and can quote custom moulds for brand-specific shapes. Cartons are specified with a minimum edge crush test of 32 ECT for export, and pallets are configured to 1,200 by 1,000 mm or 1,200 by 800 mm depending on the destination.
Labels are prepared to the US FDA dietary supplement requirements: a supplement facts panel with serving size, amount per serving and percent daily value where established, a list of ingredients in descending order of weight, allergen declarations, and the name and place of business of the manufacturer or distributor. We also support EU Regulation 1169/2011 nutrition declarations and the Hong Kong and ASEAN formats. Lot number and best-before date are inkjet-printed on the bottle and the carton, with a check that the two match before the case is sealed. Artwork proofs are approved by the buyer before plates are made.
For Amazon and retail listings, we can apply FNSKU labels and polybag the units to the marketplace's prep requirements, including suffocation warning text where the bag opening exceeds the threshold. Carton labelling includes the FNSKU, the case pack quantity and the expiry date in the format the retailer requires. We do not print retail price or promotional claims on the primary label unless the buyer supplies approved copy. Where a buyer needs a GS1 barcode, we can print it from the buyer's GTIN data and verify it with a scanner before packing.
Packaging components are checked against the buyer's approved specification on receipt: bottle wall thickness, cap torque, seal integrity and label dimensions. A packaging line trial is run before mass production to confirm that the gummy drops cleanly, that the induction seal adheres, and that the label is centred within 1 mm. Photographs of the first production carton are sent to the buyer for approval before the run continues, which reduces the risk of a full batch being packed to an unapproved standard.
MOQ, Lead Times and Delivery
Sampling for a hyaluronic acid gummy typically takes 7 to 10 working days from receipt of the approved formula and packaging specification. Stock flavours and colours can be matched faster, while a new flavour or a custom bottle mould adds 2 to 3 weeks. Samples are sent by courier with a COA and a material safety data sheet. Buyers should allow time for their own stability or sensory review before approving, because the mass production window starts only after written sample approval and receipt of the deposit.
Mass production runs 20 to 35 working days after sample approval, depending on gummy weight, dose and packaging format. A 1,000 unit pilot run can be scheduled within 15 working days where the line has capacity. Larger orders are scheduled in campaigns to keep colour and texture consistent across the batch. We confirm the production slot in writing and provide a weekly progress update with photographs at the depositing, drying and packing stages so that the buyer can plan launch dates with their retail partners.
Shipments are quoted on EXW, FOB Shenzhen or DDP terms. Air freight is used for samples and for launch quantities where the retail window is tight, typically 5 to 8 days door to door. Sea freight is used for full container loads and takes 18 to 35 days depending on the destination port. We provide the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis, material safety data sheet, free-sale certificate and, where the destination requires it, a phytosanitary certificate or a certificate of origin. Documents are checked against the buyer's letter of credit before the container is released.
Payment terms are typically 30 percent deposit with the balance against the copy of the bill of lading, and we can work with a buyer's freight forwarder or arrange carriage on their behalf. For DDP shipments, we handle import clearance and duty where the destination allows, and provide the landed cost breakdown before the order is confirmed. Buyers should confirm the destination country's import requirements for hyaluronic acid and for the gummy base, as these can affect labelling and the documents needed at the border.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the MOQ for hyaluronic acid gummies?+
Standard MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU for retail bottling. For pilot runs, we can produce 1,000 units per SKU so you can test the market before scaling. MOQ applies per flavour and per bottle count, not per order.
How long do samples take?+
Sample lead time is 7–10 working days after we receive your brief and deposit for sample costs. You receive 50–100 gummies in retail-like packaging. Two rounds of formula revision are included in the sample fee.
Can you make vegan hyaluronic acid gummies?+
Yes. We use pectin instead of gelatin, with no animal-derived ingredients. The line is cleaned between runs, and we can provide a vegan certificate. Vegan HA gummies typically set at 2.5–4.0 g per piece and are available sugar-free.
What certifications do you hold?+
EUPHM holds GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP certifications. halal and vegan certificates are available for specific production runs. We are an FDA-registered facility. Certificates are shared before purchase order confirmation.
What is the shelf life of hyaluronic acid gummies?+
Typical shelf life is 18–24 months when stored below 25°C and 60% relative humidity. We apply 5–10% overage on hyaluronic acid to meet label claim at end of shelf life. Stability testing at 40°C/75% RH for 6 months is available.
Do you provide stability data for the hyaluronic acid gummy formula before I order?+
Yes. We can share the stability summary for the base formula, covering potency, microbials, moisture and sensory results at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months under controlled storage, plus 6-month accelerated data. If your formula or packaging differs, we run a project-specific stability study, which adds 6 to 8 weeks to the timeline. The summary is issued with the sample so you can set a shelf-life claim with supporting data.
Can you pack hyaluronic acid gummies in stick packs or sachets instead of bottles?+
Yes. We run stick packs and sachets on separate lines from the bottle line. Stick packs typically hold 1 to 2 gummies per serve, and sachets are used for sample and travel formats. Minimum order quantities for stick packs are higher than for bottles because of the film and filling setup, usually from 10,000 units per SKU. We provide film specification and barrier data so you can confirm moisture protection for your market.
What documents do you provide for customs clearance and retail compliance?+
Each shipment includes a certificate of analysis, material safety data sheet, commercial invoice, packing list, free-sale certificate and certificate of origin. Where the destination requires it, we arrange a phytosanitary certificate or a health certificate. For retail compliance, we provide the label artwork proof, FNSKU labelling where requested, and the batch record summary. Documents are issued in PDF and can be matched to your purchase order and SKU code.
