HTP Pharma Partners with the 104-Year-Old Factory Supplying Japan's Leading Collagen – Nitta Gelatin

Over its 15-year journey of formation and development, Sắc Ngọc Khang – the “national” brand of HTP Pharmaceutical Investment Joint Stock Company – has always placed a scientific foundation as the decisive factor in refining every product. That is why the brand always attaches great importance to carefully seeking and selecting leading partners at home and abroad to develop products together.

That is also the reason Sắc Ngọc Khang partnered with Japan's Nitta Gelatin factory – the globally renowned “giant” specializing in researching, producing and supplying Collagen, with 104 years of history.

Partnering with Nitta Gelatin, with its extremely strict global standards, is seen as an important step forward for the “national cosmeceutical” brand Sắc Ngọc Khang, aiming to elevate the brand and create quality Collagen product lines suited to Vietnamese constitutions. From there, it strengthens domestic consumers' confidence in quality, distinctly Vietnamese products amid today's “maze” of imported goods.

Nitta Gelatin – the “kingpin” supplying the world's leading Collagen

Founded in 1918 in Osaka, Japan, Nitta Gelatin has more than 104 years of experience specializing in researching, extracting and supplying high-quality Collagen. Nitta Gelatin currently has 15 factories in 6 countries around the world, including: the United States, Japan, India, China, Canada and Vietnam. Notably, Nitta Gelatin's products have been exported to more than 50 countries and territories.

Through relentless dedication over more than a decade, thanks to advanced techniques, modern equipment and a team of leading engineers and experts in Japan, Nitta Gelatin has consistently maintained its form, becoming the top supplier in Japan and No. 2 in the world for Collagen lines such as Collagen Peptide and Collagen Dipeptide. Notably, the factory supplies Collagen in many forms: powder, jelly, liquid, tablet, and more, to serve diverse Collagen formulation needs.

Thanks to a rigorous extraction process and 15 steps to remove impurities, Collagen Dipeptide always achieves high purity, ensuring safety for long-term use. In addition, with precise amino-acid cleavage techniques, Collagen Dipeptide reaches a super-molecular size, giving it absorption 30 times greater than ordinary Collagen and maximum effect.

One of the achievements that puts Nitta Gelatin far ahead of its competitors worldwide is that its Collagen Dipeptide has been proven outstandingly effective through clinical research in Japan. The results showed a significant improvement in the skin in just 8 weeks, including: a 22% reduction in wrinkles, a 91% increase in moisture, 22% in smoothness, 14% in elasticity and 19% in the skin's rosy brightness.

Using a special, exclusive extraction secret, the Collagen that Nitta Gelatin produces always meets standards and has won high awards for quality. In 2021, the company's Collagen won the “INGREDIENT OF THE YEAR” award in the “BEAUTY FROM WITHIN” category, organized by the NutraIngredients – USA Awards.

In addition to ensuring a sufficient supply of high-quality Collagen to meet market demand, Nitta Gelatin always cares about and puts environmental responsibility first. Therefore, the entire process, from raw-material collection to extraction, follows clear standards, is carefully inspected and meets environmental protection requirements.

With extremely strict international standards, becoming a partner of Nitta Gelatin is no easy feat. Being chosen as a partner of Nitta Gelatin further proves that Sắc Ngọc Khang has the mettle and experience to deliver the highest-quality products to consumers.

Sắc Ngọc Khang and the journey to “Honor Vietnamese Beauty”

Over nearly 15 years pursuing the mission of “Honoring Vietnamese Beauty,” Sắc Ngọc Khang has almost completely won the hearts of Vietnamese women by continuously creating high-quality products that meet users' needs to the fullest. To keep pace with modern trends, Sắc Ngọc Khang constantly transforms and improves its products every day.

Partnering with Nitta Gelatin is seen as an extremely smart move by Sắc Ngọc Khang, both helping to strengthen domestic consumers' confidence and affirming the quality of a Vietnamese brand on the international stage.

Speaking about this project with Nitta Gelatin, HTP Pharma's representative, Mr. Lê Trung Nam, said: “With our core mission of ‘Honoring Vietnamese Beauty' and putting customers at the center, we want to create the best products for Vietnamese consumers, at Vietnamese prices but with international quality standards.”

It is clear that “quality” is always the top priority in all of Sắc Ngọc Khang's products. A prime example is the choice of 100% pure Collagen Dipeptide, which has undergone Nitta Gelatin's rigorous 15-step impurity-removal process, ensuring no fishy smell and no heatiness, breakouts or weight gain for users. This was also an important criterion by which Nitta Gelatin evaluated and considered choosing Sắc Ngọc Khang as its strategic partner in Vietnam.

Nitta Gelatin x Sắc Ngọc Khang and the “handshake” that solves the “pain” of Vietnamese women

Faced with a “forest” of Collagen products on the market today, with their diverse designs, buyers feel as if they have fallen into a “maze” and do not know how to choose a quality, genuine product in Vietnam. The worry that “quality products are expensive, while cheap products are poor quality” has created opportunities for products of unknown origin to “jack up prices” as a way to prove their quality. This leaves many consumers in a “lose-money, gain-trouble” situation.

Therefore, Sắc Ngọc Khang's move to partner with Nitta Gelatin can be seen as pioneering in Vietnam's cosmeceutical market to date. This turnaround does not stop at reviving a Vietnamese brand; now, users can fully trust a Vietnamese brand with products that are “international standard – Vietnamese price,” able to compete fairly with famous brands with long histories around the world.

Sắc Ngọc Khang Collagen tablets and the Sắc Ngọc Khang Collagen Dipeptide Drink are the results of the partnership between Sắc Ngọc Khang and Nitta Gelatin

The two products, Sắc Ngọc Khang Collagen Tablets (launched in 2020) and the Sắc Ngọc Khang Collagen Dipeptide Drink (launched in 2022), are the first proof of the success of this partnership. Among them, the Sắc Ngọc Khang Collagen Tablets, though launched only 2 years ago, have quickly become one of the most loved Collagen products today.

Looking to the future, Sắc Ngọc Khang will continue to leverage its strengths to fully tap Nitta Gelatin's potential, while also partnering with even more world-class partners to create many more quality and diverse beauty-care products for Vietnamese consumers.
