manufacturing phytoceramides
Due to tariffs& customs duties, phytoceramides are pretty expensive here in Mexico. How difficult is it to manufacture phytoceramides? What kind of equipment and costs would I be looking at.If I could produce the product here and get the price down, there’s a big market here waiting to be tapped. Any help here would be appreciated. In advance, thank you for your time

Seems like no one on this forum knows anything about ceramides.

Some of us know quite a bit about ceramides. However, knowing the chemicals, how to formulate with them, and how they work or don’t work physiologically is a far cry from being able to talk knowledgeably about how to synthesize or extract them.
Chemical synthesis, extractions, purifications, etc. are not really functions usually/ever asked of cosmetic chemists. We understand how chemicals are put together generally, and most of us can follow along with a chemical process flowchart, but to get advice on how to produce chemicals and/or scale-up production, you will need to talk to organic chemists and chemical engineers. It’s like asking a dermatologist to do heart surgery…Unfortunately, this is information you’re most probably going to have to pay to find out, either with a consultant or by doing the research yourself. -
A cook can know a lot about making omelets without knowing how to raise chickens.
Most of the people here are formulators not synthesis chemists.
