The client is BioSwiss, a top European brand specializing in organic beauty and premium dietary supplements headquartered in Switzerland. Its core product lines include organic plant face creams, sugar-free protein meal replacements, and high-end complementary foods for infants. Its products are sold in premium pharmacies and organic supermarkets across Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The brand strictly complies with EU E473, FDA 21 CFR 172.859, ISO 22716 and clean label standards. It imposes extremely stringent requirements on sucrose ester SE (sucrose fatty acid ester): high purity with minimal impurities, natural raw material sources, low odor, low free sucrose, customizable HLB values, and complete organic and compliance certifications. It is a mid-to-high-end client with strong customization demands and zero tolerance for quality defects.
In March 2026, the client launched R&D for two new products: organic plant face cream and complementary food for infants, requiring two customized grades of SE exclusively for the two lines:
· For face cream: HLB=14.5±0.3, purity ≥99.8%, no solvent residues, derived from natural coconut oil, mild and non-irritating, compliant with EU organic certification standards;
· For complementary food: HLB=10.0±0.2, low free sucrose (≤0.5%), low odor, compatible with milk protein, biodegradable, and supported by complete compliance documents for infant food-grade applications.
The client previously contacted three domestic SE manufacturers, none of whom could meet the customization requirements: some failed to deliver precise HLB control (tolerance ±1.0), some could not reach the required purity (≤99.5%), some lacked organic certification or infant food-grade production qualifications, and all factories refused to adjust production processes, only pushing standard off-the-shelf grades. This stalled the client’s new product R&D. The client entrusted HiSiaddi to complete formula customization, lab trials, pilot production and mass production launch within 20 days, together with preparing all supporting compliance documents.
1. High-precision HLB customization: Conventional standard SE grades feature integer HLB values (e.g. 10, 14). The client required precise HLB values to one decimal place (14.5/10.0) with a tolerance of ±0.3, a precision most domestic manufacturers cannot stably achieve via existing production processes.
2. Extreme purity and impurity control: The cream grade required ≥99.8% high purity, zero solvent residues, undetectable heavy metals and microorganisms. The complementary food grade demanded free sucrose ≤0.5% and low odor with no allergenic ingredients—far stricter than the national standard (free sucrose ≤3.0%).
3. Natural raw material origin & organic certification: The product must be synthesized from non-GMO natural sucrose and coconut oil fatty acids, supported by full certifications including EU Organic, E473, FDA, Kosher and Halal.
4. Dual-system compatibility & process adaptability: One grade needed to suit water-in-oil face cream (stable low-temperature emulsification without water separation), while the other had to fit infant complementary food (stable under high-temperature sterilization, compatible with milk protein and free of agglomeration).
5. Flexible small-batch production & fast delivery: An initial order of 5 tons for each grade required formulation customization, production, testing and delivery within 20 days, whereas conventional manufacturers normally take over 45 days for customized orders.
HiSiaddi assembled a cross-functional team of technical specialists, R&D engineers and compliance experts to align closely with the client, break down customized parameters, identify core technical bottlenecks, and screen leading domestic manufacturers with customization capabilities: Liuzhou Agri-Fat and Zhejiang Hetang Technology. Both are SE manufacturers with over 20 years of production experience, equipped with GMP workshops, patented processes and EU certification qualifications.
Core technical contradictions: Conventional esterification processes cannot accurately control HLB values; standard purification technology fails to achieve 99.8% ultra-high purity; raw material traceability cannot satisfy organic certification standards. Solutions: Customized esterification reaction parameters, multi-stage molecular distillation purification, full organic raw material traceability, and independent dual-formula development for the two applications.
1. Cream-grade SE (HLB=14.5±0.3, high-purity type)
· Raw materials: Non-GMO organic white granulated sugar + natural coconut oil fatty acids (C12-C18, low iodine value) with full traceability records.
· Process: Adjust the molar ratio of sucrose to fatty acids to 1:1.8, control reaction temperature at 125℃±2℃ and vacuum degree at -0.095MPa to precisely regulate the ratio of monoester to diester and lock the HLB value at 14.5.
· Purification: Three-stage molecular distillation combined with activated carbon adsorption to remove free sucrose, free fatty acids and solvent residues. Final purity reaches ≥99.8%, free sucrose ≤0.3%, with zero solvent residues.
· Performance indicators: Undetectable heavy metals and microorganisms, mild faint odor, non-irritating, fully compliant with EU organic and cosmetic-grade standards.
1. Complementary food-grade SE (HLB=10.0±0.2, low-impurity type)
· Raw materials: Food-grade white granulated sugar + high-oleic coconut oil fatty acids, tailored for infant food applications.
· Process: Optimize food-grade esterification catalysts, extend reaction duration and regulate esterification degree to stably maintain HLB=10.0.
· Purification: Two-stage molecular distillation plus membrane filtration to limit free sucrose ≤0.4%, deliver low odor and eliminate allergenic components.
· Performance indicators: Meets infant food-grade standards, compatible with milk protein, thermally stable under 121℃/15min sterilization without decomposition or agglomeration.
Lab trials: 5kg samples produced for client laboratory testing
· Cream application: Stable emulsification, no water separation at -5℃ low temperature, no layering at 45℃ high temperature, delicate texture and neutral odor.
· Complementary food application: Uniform mixing with milk, no precipitation after sterilization, smooth mouthfeel and no fishy odor. Test results: All indicators met specifications, with HLB deviation ≤±0.2, exceeding the client’s tolerance requirements.
Pilot production: 500kg trial batches manufactured to verify process stability, batch consistency and production capacity compatibility. All production was carried out under aseptic conditions with strict quality control, and 100% of pilot products passed all tests.
A full set of English-language compliance documents was prepared simultaneously to satisfy EU high-end market requirements:
· Qualification certificates: EU Organic certification, E473 statement of compliance, FDA 21 CFR 172.859 certification, ISO 22716, GMP, Kosher and Halal certificates.
· Test reports: Full SGS test reports covering heavy metals, microorganisms, free sucrose, solvent residues, purity and HLB value; batch traceability reports and raw material origin certificates.
· Labeling: English labels with E473 marking, organic logos, traceability codes and compliance declarations, fully aligned with EU clean label regulations.
Flexible production lines at partner factories were prioritized for scheduling. Within 20 days, 5 tons of each customized SE grade were produced, tested, packaged and shipped. Food-grade sterile aluminum foil bags and moisture-proof cartons were used for packaging, with full cold-chain transportation to guarantee product stability throughout transit.
1. 100% compliance of customized products
· Cream SE: HLB=14.4, purity 99.85%, free sucrose 0.28%, zero solvent residues, perfectly compatible with organic cream formulations.
· Complementary food SE: HLB=10.1, free sucrose 0.38%, low odor and milk-protein compatible, meeting the strict standards for infant complementary foods. All batches demonstrated consistent stability, impurity levels far below regulatory limits, and complete supporting compliance documentation.

When overseas mid-to-high-end clients source domestic SE, their core pain points include: standard off-the-shelf grades failing to match high-end segmented application scenarios, insufficient manufacturer customization capacity, HLB precision and purity falling short of strict EU standards, and incomplete organic and compliance documentation. High-end cosmetics, infant complementary foods and other premium sectors impose far stricter requirements on SE in terms of HLB accuracy, purity, impurity levels, raw material origins and regulatory compliance compared with ordinary food applications. Most conventional manufacturers only produce standard grades and lack customized production processes, advanced purification technology, organic raw material traceability systems and EU compliance experience, resulting in delayed R&D and launch of clients’ new products.
HiSiaddi’s core competitive advantage lies in its "in-depth expertise in SE technology + integration of leading customized manufacturers + precise process development + full-link compliance support". It masters core technologies including SE esterification, purification and HLB regulation, while coordinating top domestic manufacturers with advanced customization capabilities.
