Top 10 Hyaluronic Acid Suppliers, Manufacturers, Wholesalers, and Traders in Fiji

Nestled in the heart of Suva's industrial hub, Fiji Hyaluronics Ltd. isn't just a supplier—it's a pioneer. Established in 2010, this family-run manufacturer has grown from a small lab to a cornerstone of Fiji's HA production, serving clients across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. What sets them apart? Their dual focus on pharmaceutical and cosmetic-grade hyaluronic acid, ensuring that whether you're formulating a life-saving joint injection or a viral TikTok-worthy serum, you're getting consistency.

Walk into their state-of-the-art facility, and you'll find rows of stainless-steel fermenters humming away, producing HA through a bio-fermentation process that avoids animal-derived sources (a win for vegan brands). Their star product? A high-molecular-weight HA powder with a molecular weight of 1.5-2 million Da, perfect for pharmaceutical applications like ophthalmic drops and intra-articular injections. For cosmetics, their low-molecular-weight serum base is a hit among local skincare brands—think plump, dewy skin in a bottle. "We test every batch three times before it leaves the door," says operations manager Maria Tuivuna. "Our clients don't just buy HA; they buy peace of mind."

Certifications? They've got the lot: ISO 9001 for quality management, GMP compliance for pharmaceutical production, and even a Halal certification to cater to Fiji's diverse market. And if you're a small brand just starting out, don't worry—they offer sample sizes as small as 100g, so you can test before committing to bulk. It's no wonder Fiji Hyaluronics has become the go-to for brands that refuse to compromise on quality.

If Fiji Hyaluronics is the "maker," Tropical Biotech Supplies is the "connector." Located just minutes from Nadi International Airport, this wholesaler and trader has built a reputation for bridging the gap between global HA producers and local businesses. "We noticed a problem," explains founder Rajesh Patel. "Small to medium brands in Fiji couldn't access bulk HA at competitive prices because they couldn't meet the minimum order quantities of international manufacturers." So in 2015, he launched Tropical Biotech, pooling orders from local clients to negotiate better rates with suppliers in China, South Korea, and Europe.

Today, their warehouse is stacked with 20kg bags of HA raw material, from sodium hyaluronate to acetylated HA (a stabilized version perfect for long-lasting moisturizers). They specialize in bulk supply—minimum orders start at 5kg, but regular clients can score deals on 50kg drums. What's their secret? Speed. "We keep 10+ tons of HA in stock at all times," Rajesh says. "If you need a pallet of cosmetic-grade HA by the end of the week, we can make it happen." They also offer custom blends, mixing HA with other trending ingredients like niacinamide or peptides, saving brands the hassle of sourcing multiple components.

Catering to Fiji's multicultural market, Tropical Biotech holds ISO 22000 food safety certification and Halal certification, making their HA suitable for everything from skincare to halal-certified supplements. Their client list reads like a who's who of local wellness: from Suva-based serum brands to Lautoka's natural supplement companies. "We're not just selling ingredients," Rajesh adds. "We're helping Fijian brands compete on the global stage."

For brands that put "organic" and "sustainable" front and center, Pacific Wellness Extracts in Lautoka is a breath of fresh air. Founded by environmental scientist Leilani Koroi in 2018, this manufacturer prides itself on producing hyaluronic acid using 100% organic sugarcane feedstock, sourced from local Fijian farms that practice regenerative agriculture. "Conventional HA often uses corn or soy from monoculture farms," Leilani explains. "We wanted to create an option that's kind to the planet and the skin."

The result? A line of organic HA products that have taken the clean beauty world by storm. Their bestseller? A cold-pressed organic HA serum that's 98% pure HA, with the remaining 2% being organic aloe vera juice (locally sourced, of course). It's lightweight, absorbs in seconds, and has become a staple for brands targeting eco-conscious consumers. For supplement brands, their vegan HA capsules—encapsulated in plant-based cellulose—are a hit, with no artificial fillers or preservatives.

Certifications here are non-negotiable: USDA Organic, Ecocert, and even a Fair Trade certification, ensuring that the sugarcane farmers supplying their feedstock get a fair price. Take a tour of their Lautoka facility, and you'll spot solar panels on the roof and rainwater harvesting systems—they're on track to be carbon neutral by 2026. "Sustainability isn't a marketing buzzword for us," Leilani says. "It's how we do business." For brands that want to tell a story beyond just "effective ingredients," Pacific Wellness Extracts delivers in spades.

When it comes to pharmaceutical-grade hyaluronic acid, precision is everything—and Fiji Pharma Ingredients in Nausori has mastered the art. This trader specializes in importing and distributing high-purity HA for medical applications, from wound dressings to orthopedic gels. "The pharmaceutical industry has zero room for error," says lead pharmacist Dr. Amina Khan, who founded the company in 2012 after working in a Singaporean biotech lab. "That's why we only partner with GMP-certified manufacturers in Europe and Japan, where HA production standards are the strictest."

Their product lineup reads like a medical textbook: ultra-pure HA with a molecular weight of 800,000-1.2 million Da for ophthalmic solutions (think dry eye drops), low-viscosity HA for topical wound care, and cross-linked HA for dermal fillers. Each batch comes with a detailed certificate of analysis (CoA) and a traceability report, so clients can track the HA's journey from fermentation to final delivery. "We once had a client in Vanuatu who needed a specific viscosity for a veterinary joint supplement," Dr. Amina recalls. "We sourced a custom batch from our partner in Germany and had it delivered in 48 hours. That's the level of service we're known for."

Certifications include WHO-GMP, CE marking for medical devices, and FDA registration, making their HA suitable for export to regulated markets like Australia and the EU. While they primarily serve pharmaceutical companies, they've recently dipped into the high-end cosmetic market, offering a "medical-grade" HA serum base that's become popular among luxury skincare brands. "Quality is our north star," Dr. Amina says. "Whether it's going into a hospital or a high-end beauty counter, our HA meets the same rigorous standards."

For skincare entrepreneurs dreaming up the next viral hyaluronic acid serum or moisturizer, Island Cosmetic Solutions in Denarau is a one-stop shop. This wholesaler focuses exclusively on cosmetic-grade HA and related ingredients, with a knack for staying ahead of trends. "We attend every major beauty trade show—In-Cosmetics, Cosmoprof—to see what's hot," says founder Sarah Jones, a former cosmetic chemist who moved to Fiji from Australia in 2018. "Right now, it's low-molecular-weight HA that penetrates deeper, and multi-molecular HA blends that target different skin layers. We've got both in stock."

Their Denarau warehouse is a treasure trove for beauty brands: 1kg jars of sodium hyaluronate powder, pre-made serum bases in 5L bottles (perfect for small batches), and even ready-to-label hyaluronic acid moisturizer tubes for brands that want to skip the formulation step. "Not everyone has a lab," Sarah explains. "Our pre-made bases are formulated by cosmetic chemists and tested for stability, so brands can just add their signature scent or active ingredient and go."

What makes them a favorite among indie beauty brands? Their commitment to cruelty-free and clean beauty. All their HA is vegan, and they're Leaping Bunny certified, ensuring no animal testing at any stage. They also offer halal and kosher-certified options, tapping into niche markets. "We had a client from a small island in Tonga who wanted to launch a halal skincare line," Sarah says. "We sourced the right HA, helped with packaging compliance, and even connected them with a local label printer. We're more than suppliers—we're partners."

With a minimum order of just 500g for powders and 1L for liquids, they're ideal for startups. And for brands looking to scale, they offer bulk discounts and dedicated account managers. "The beauty industry in Fiji is booming," Sarah adds. "We're here to make sure local brands have access to the same high-quality ingredients as the big international names."

Labasa might be known for its sugarcane fields, but Viti HA Traders is putting this northern Fijian town on the map for another reason: reliable, affordable hyaluronic acid. Founded in 2017 by brothers Jone and Timoci Waqavakatoga, this regional trader started small—supplying local beauty salons with basic HA serums—and has since expanded to serve the entire northern division, from Taveuni to Vanua Levu.

What's their niche? Accessibility. "In Labasa, not everyone can afford to order 5kg of HA," Jone explains. "So we offer smaller quantities—even 100g bags—at prices that won't break the bank." They source their HA from trusted manufacturers in China and India, focusing on mid-range cosmetic-grade products that balance quality and cost. Their bestseller? A 1% HA solution in a user-friendly dropper bottle, perfect for salons that want to add a "hydrating boost" add-on to facials.

While they primarily serve local businesses, Viti HA Traders has recently started exporting to small Pacific nations like Kiribati and Tuvalu, leveraging Labasa's port connections. "We know the challenges of shipping to remote islands," Timoci says. "We pack orders in waterproof containers and work with local shipping lines to get products there in under a week." They're also active in community initiatives, offering free HA workshops for women-owned beauty startups in rural areas. "We want to grow the industry from the ground up," Jone adds. "When small brands thrive, we all thrive."

Savusavu, with its crystal-clear waters and eco-friendly vibe, is the perfect home for Green Island Biotech—a manufacturer that's redefining sustainability in HA production. Founded in 2019 by marine biologist Dr. Lisa Wong, this company takes a unique approach: using seawater from Savusavu Bay in their fermentation process, reducing freshwater usage by 60%. "The ocean gives us so much—why not give back?" Dr. Lisa says. "Our process is zero-waste: leftover biomass from fermentation is turned into fertilizer for local farms, and we use solar power to run our facility."

Their product range is small but mighty: an eco-friendly HA powder made with seawater fermentation, and a biodegradable HA serum packaged in compostable tubes. "We've had clients tell us they switched to our HA because their customers were demanding greener packaging," Dr. Lisa notes. "It's not just about the ingredient—it's about the entire lifecycle." They're also experimenting with seaweed-based HA alternatives, tapping into Fiji's abundant marine resources for future products.

Certifications include B Corp (for social and environmental performance), Carbon Neutral, and Ocean Friendly (a local certification for businesses that protect marine ecosystems). While their prices are slightly higher than conventional suppliers, Dr. Lisa says the investment is worth it: "Consumers are voting with their wallets, and they want brands that align with their values. We're here to make that easy."

When it comes to large-scale production, Fiji Bulk Ingredients in Suva is the name to know. This wholesaler specializes in industrial-grade hyaluronic acid, catering to big players like multinational cosmetic brands and food supplement manufacturers. "If you need a truckload of HA, we've got you," says logistics manager Tomasi Raikabula, who oversees their 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Suva's industrial zone.

They source bulk HA from top-tier manufacturers in China and South Korea, with minimum orders starting at 50kg (though regular clients can order full containers). Their claim to fame? Consistency. "We test every incoming shipment for viscosity, purity, and molecular weight," Tomasi explains. "Our clients can't afford batch-to-batch variation, and we deliver that reliability." They also offer custom packaging, from 25kg bags to 1-ton supersacks, and can arrange door-to-door delivery across the Pacific.

While their focus is on volume, they don't skimp on quality. Their HA meets ISO 14001 environmental standards and FSSAI approval for food contact, making it suitable for use in everything from processed foods (as a thickener) to industrial lubricants. "We're the backbone of the supply chain," Tomasi says. "Without bulk suppliers like us, brands couldn't scale. And we take that responsibility seriously."

Taveuni, the "Garden Island," is famous for its lush rainforests—and Taveuni Wellness Traders is leveraging that biodiversity to create unique HA blends. Founded by local herbalist Ratu Kitione, this specialty trader combines hyaluronic acid with traditional Fijian botanical extracts, like kava root and coconut oil, to create one-of-a-kind ingredients for skincare and supplements.

"Fijian plants have been used for healing for centuries," Ratu explains. "Why not pair that wisdom with modern HA? Our HA + kava blend, for example, has natural anti-inflammatory properties—perfect for sensitive skin." Their custom formulation service is a hit: brands can choose from a menu of local botanicals to create signature ingredients that tell a Fijian story. Recent clients include a luxury resort spa chain that wanted a "Taveuni Glow" serum for their guests.

Certified by Fiji's Traditional Medicine Board, their blends are rooted in cultural respect—Ratu works directly with village elders to ensure sustainable harvesting of botanicals. "We don't just extract plants; we honor them," he says. For brands looking to add a touch of Fijian authenticity to their products, Taveuni Wellness Traders is the ultimate partner.

Last but never least, Fiji Biotech Exports is the bridge between Fiji's HA producers and the global market. Based at Suva Port, this exporter works with local manufacturers (including several on this list) to package and ship HA products to international clients, handling everything from customs clearance to compliance with foreign regulations. "Exporting from a small island can be tricky," says export manager Ana Rokotuivuna. "We speak the language of both Fijian suppliers and international buyers, making the process seamless."

They specialize in preparing HA for entry into strict markets like the EU (with CE marking), the US (FDA registration), and Australia (TGA compliance). Their "Export Ready" packages include all necessary documentation: CoAs, MSDS, and country-specific certifications. "A client in Canada once needed organic HA with a specific pesticide residue limit," Ana recalls. "We worked with Pacific Wellness Extracts to test and certify the batch, then arranged air freight to meet their launch deadline."

With a network of partners across 20+ countries, Fiji Biotech Exports is helping put Fijian HA on the global map. "Our mission is to show the world that Fiji doesn't just have beautiful beaches—we have world-class ingredients too," Ana says. For local manufacturers looking to scale beyond Fiji's borders, this exporter is an invaluable ally.
