ODM/OEM Collagen Peptide Drink Manufacturer - Private Label Beauty Product for Adult Skin Hair Nails Enhancement
The Challenge: A Premium Vision with a Complex Reality Ember Wellness had a clear vision: to launch a luxurious, ready-to-drink collagen elixir targeting the premium "beauty from within" market. They knew that powders were messy and capsules were clinical; the future was in a delicious, convenient liquid shot. However, they quickly discovered the immense technical challenges:
-
Creating a stable, non-separating liquid formula with a high dose of collagen.
-
Achieving a delicious, sophisticated flavor profile to mask the taste of the active ingredients.
-
Navigating the complexities of liquid production, bottling, and shelf-life testing.
-
Sourcing high-purity, hydrolyzed collagen peptides.
Their vision was stalled by a lack of manufacturing expertise.
