Hydrogel Mask Manufacturer · Hydrogel Face Mask OEM & Private Label
Yanse is a hydrogel mask manufacturer in China — hydrogel face masks, eye patches and lip masks for private-label brands. One plant-based carrageenan gel base. Eye patches, full-face masks and lip masks. Halal and vegan compatible as standard. MOQ from 3,000 units per SKU on stock shapes & standard packs (custom die-cut or custom formula from 5,000). Those four together, in one factory, on one line, under one set of documents — and every one of them verifiable before you place an order. Cast in-house on a three-head line in a Class-100,000 cleanroom under ISO 22716 and US FDA Cosmetic GMP.

Four things brands ask for together — and how to check each one.
Most briefs for this category ask for the same four things at once: one gel base across formats, a plant-based gel rather than gelatin, halal and vegan compatibility, and a launch-scale minimum. Any supplier can claim all four. Below is how you verify each of them before you commit — including what to ask us for.
| Condition | What we state | How you verify it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · One gel base, three formats | Under-eye patches, full-face masks and lip masks are cast from the same carrageenan/agar gel base on the same line. They differ by die, finished gauge and fill — not by formulation. | Ask for all three formats in one sample set, from one batch. Same base means the same feel, the same cool, the same essence behaviour across the set — which is exactly what splitting across three suppliers cannot give you. |
| 2 · Plant-based, not gelatin | The gelling system is carrageenan and agar — red-algae and seaweed polysaccharides. No animal-derived gelling agent. A gelatin route exists only if a brief specifically asks for it. | Two checks. Full INCI of the gel base on request under NNN — look for carrageenan / agar and the absence of gelatin or hydrolysed collagen as a structural agent. And a physical one: a plant gel holds its shape at body temperature, where a gelatin sheet softens. |
| 3 · Halal & vegan compatible | Because the gelling system carries no animal-derived ingredient, the base is compatible with halal and vegan positioning as standard rather than as a special run. | Halal-certified bases are available, and we support ESMA (UAE) and SFDA (KSA) documentation. Ask for the certificate covering the specific base your product uses — not a general factory statement. Compatibility of the base and certification of a finished product are two different things, and we will say which one you are getting. |
| 4 · MOQ from 3,000 per SKU | 3,000 units per SKU on a stock shape, a stock pouch or jar with your artwork, and a ready or lightly adapted formulation — no tooling at all on that route. | Ask for the quotation as a ladder: 3,000 / 5,000 / 10,000 / 30,000 / 50,000. Bands are exact quantities, not ranges. Tooling appears as a separate line, charged once. If a supplier will not show you the ladder, the entry figure is not a real one. |
And the factory behind the four: 8,000㎡ owned plant in Zhangzhou, Fujian · Class-100,000 cleanroom · 11 QC checkpoints · ISO 22716 and US FDA Cosmetic GMP, both certified by Bureau Veritas · on-site supplier audits passed with L'Oréal, Watsons, MINISO and Mentholatum · 1,000,000 units/month capacity.

Most factories cast one gel. We cast three at once.
A hydrogel line is not hard to buy. What separates one supplier from another is what the line can do beyond laying down a single flat sheet — and what the people running it can tell you when a sheet goes wrong.
Two or three formulations, one sheet
A three-head system casts separate gels side by side. Used to keep incompatible actives apart — each at its own pH — not just to add colour.
Halal & vegan compatible as standard
A carrageenan/agar system holds its shape in summer freight. Gelatin softens near body temperature — well inside what a container reaches.
Eye, face and lip from one base
Three formats, one gel system, one line, one set of documents. No colour matching across three vendors, no lead times to reconcile.
We can tell you why a sheet failed
Tearing has seven causes and a symptom-to-cause table. Syneresis has four. A supplier who cannot name them is guessing on your batch.
Stay-in-place is a specification
Fill-weight CV, essence-to-gel ratio, cross-link density and die fit decide whether a patch holds. We test adhesion and wear-time retention against your spec during sampling — with the method stated.
Three formats, one gel system.
They differ by die, gauge and fill — not by formulation. That is what makes a set cheap to extend and expensive for a competitor to copy across three suppliers.
| Format | Typical gauge | Wear time | What drives the spec |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eye patch | Thicker end | 15–20 min | Small area, near-horizontal in use — thickness buys cooling and essence load at almost no adhesion penalty |
| Full-face mask | Thinner end | 15–20 min | Must hang on a vertical curved surface. Over-specify thickness and it slides; cooling is bought back through water content |
| Lip mask | Thinnest | 10–20 min | Compound curve in constant motion; needs an elastic gel. Colourant rules for lip use are stricter in the US and EU |
Custom die-cut shapes available; a stock die keeps a launch at the entry band. Packaging: single sachet, multi-pair pouch or 30–60 pair jar. Deep dives — how thick should a hydrogel mask be · why lips are the hardest format · packaging & filling.
An 8,000㎡ factory your buyers can trust.
Hydrogel casting runs in our own plant in Zhangzhou, Fujian — not a partner line, not a trading arrangement. The same roof that has passed on-site supplier audits with L'Oréal, Watsons, MINISO and Mentholatum.
The line between a cosmetic and a problem.
A hydrogel mask hydrates and cools. Those are appearance-level cosmetic effects, and they are what we will help you write. We will not draft a claim your dossier cannot carry.
- Cosmetic wording only — no drug, medical or whitening-cure claims
- US MoCRA registration and listing support; EU CPNP / CPSR support
- Halal-compatible plant gel base; documentation support for ESMA (UAE) and SFDA (KSA)
- Lip formats: colourant clearance confirmed per market before artwork — lip lists are narrower than face lists
- Shelf life supported by real-time stability, not accelerated data alone, plus preservative efficacy testing on the final pack
Everything your technical team needs.
The eight lines we would want to see in a brief — and the ones we will hold ourselves to in an acceptance criteria.
| Gel system | Plant-based carrageenan/agar type as standard; gelatin route on request |
| Water content | Target and range specified per product |
| Finished gauge | Target and tolerance, measured at five points per sheet |
| Gel strength | Specified with the test method named, plus a fold test as a pass/fail criterion |
| Release liner | Differential peel force, so the sheet is never asked to support itself unbacked |
| Free essence charge | Grams per pouch with tolerance, verified by check-weighing |
| Pack structure | Named laminate (PET/AL/PE, metallised or clear PET/PE), seal width and seal strength with test method |
| Zoning | Where used: zone ratio, transition width target and batch-to-batch consistency of that width |
Test small, then scale fast.
The entry band is real and it comes with three conditions, because those are what make it possible.
Stock shape, stock pouch or jar with your artwork, and a ready or lightly adapted formulation. No tooling at all on this route.
Class-100,000 cleanroom capacity for mature brands and retail private-label programmes — same line, no re-qualification.
| Band | Typically |
|---|---|
| 3,000 | Launch or pilot on a stock shape & standard pack — prove the SKU on the production line |
| 5,000 | Entry for a custom die-cut shape or a custom formula |
| 10,000 | Where the per-unit cost of custom tooling drops noticeably |
| 30,000 | Established SKU, planned replenishment |
| 50,000 | Volume programme, scheduled production slots |
We quote a ladder rather than a single price, because setup, changeover and QC time are close to fixed and the per-unit cost falls in steps rather than smoothly. Bands are exact quantities, not ranges — 7,500 units is quoted at the 5,000 band. Tooling is a separate line, charged once and not repeated on reorders. Bands apply per SKU; where SKUs share a gel base, die or pouch, we confirm what overlaps. What actually sets a hydrogel minimum →

The questions a magazine can't answer.
Your customers will ask these, and the answers decide whether a product gets a good review. We make these formats, so we explain the mechanism rather than repeat the marketing — including where the honest answer is "no".
Do eye patches help puffy eyes?
Yes for fluid, no for structural — and the mechanism is mostly cold. What decides the cooling window.
Are hydrogel eye patches vegan?
Gelatin vs carrageenan — and why a "collagen" patch on a plant gel sheet still fails a vegan claim.
Can you reuse under-eye patches?
No — three reasons, including water activity around 0.99. And what customers are really asking for.
Why do under-eye patches slide off?
Usually too much free essence, lubricating the one thing holding the patch on. Six specifications decide it — and they belong in your purchase spec.
How long to leave eye patches on
15–20 minutes — and why a drying patch reverses and pulls moisture back out of the skin.
Do hydrogel eye patches work?
Dark circles are vascular, pigmented or structural. A patch helps one partly, one barely, one not at all.
Do lip masks work?
Lips have no oil glands and a thinner barrier — which is exactly why occlusion shows more there.
Do sheet masks work?
An excellent hydration event, a modest delivery vehicle — and the essence matters more than the cloth.
