For Gel Makers
Gel economics come down to yield and prep time. One pound of our dried Eucheuma spinosum makes roughly 12 pounds of gel — at our 80lb price of $9.9/lb, that's a raw material cost of about $0.83 per pound of finished gel. Because the moss arrives triple-washed with minimal sand and debris, buyers consistently report cutting prep time in half versus other suppliers.
Consistency matters as much as yield: the same species from the same Palawan harvest zones, batch after batch, means your gel thickness and texture stay standardized. See the full economics in our gel business startup cost guide and profit margin calculator.
For Capsule & Supplement Brands
Encapsulation needs clean, documented raw material. Every batch we ship is third-party tested for lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, salmonella, and E. coli — and we provide the Certificate of Analysis your compliance file requires. The sun-dried moss grinds cleanly into powder with no salt crust or additives to work around. Start with our supplement brand sourcing guide and heavy metal testing requirements.
Why Buy Raw Instead of White-Label Finished Product?
- Margin. Finished white-label gel typically wholesales at $8–15 per 16oz jar. Making it from raw moss costs under $1.50 per jar in material.
- Control. Your recipe, your fruit blends, your capsule fill weight — not a co-packer's fixed spec.
- Freshness. Gel has a 2–4 week refrigerated shelf life. Dried moss keeps 36 months, so you produce to demand instead of holding perishable inventory.
