Pricing breaks down at $28 for a 100g sample, $180/kg for mid-orders around 25kg, and we drop to $150/kg on full pallets of 200kg — that's where teh real savings kick in for.

It's yellow to orange powder passing 80 mesh, so it blends smooth into creams or masks without that gritty texture; purity runs at 99% by HPLC with heavy metals under 10ppm, and we've got COA form lab.

Most buyers go with this for skin whitening formulations, mixing roughly 2-5% into their base — it works just as well as a dietary supplement though, at about 10% of the cost of isolated peptide extracts.
Microbiologicals are within spec, and we usually hold stock of about 500kg or so but confirm lead time on bigger orders since we're not always at that pail count (typically 7-14 days for non-stock items).

One thing — it's better for creams and lotions than leave-on gels because the powder settles fast if water is too thin; anyway, most formulators solve that with a quick thickener adjustment.
