Most nila in the bulk market moves through trading houses. It changes hands two or three times before it reaches a cosmetic manufacturer, and by then nobody in the chain can say which production batch it came from.
We supply it in both forms — whole lumps by the kilo for buyers who mill in-house, and powder milled to your specification. Same material, same grading, priced to your volume.
Pure Moroccan Nila available in raw unground stone format or precision-milled cosmetic powder.
Unground Raw Format
Pressed cakes and stones in their original unground form, graded on colour depth, fracture, density and moisture.
Milled to Order
Milled to order from those same graded lumps, never bought in as powder.
Skincare brands building hammam, clay mask and brightening ranges. Contract manufacturers who need a raw material that arrives the same every time. Soap makers who need colour that survives saponification and a full cure.
Spa and hammam distributors, and brand owners who want finished jars filled and labelled under their own name rather than bulk material to handle themselves.
Manufacturer-direct supply, consistent batch colour, full lot documentation — no trading house in the chain.
Almost everyone selling nila in bulk is a trading house marking it up. We manufacture — so we hold the specification.
Questions about a batch get answered from production records, not forwarded to a supplier we have no control over. You deal directly with the people who made the material.
For a cosmetic brand the real risk is not one bad batch — it is a shade that drifts mid-production run.
Every lot is checked against a retained reference before it ships, so the hundredth kilo matches the first. Material outside the band is re-graded, never blended upward.
Each shipment carries a lot number tracing back to a specific production batch, with a sealed retained sample kept on our side.
Certificate of Analysis (lot-specific), Safety Data Sheet, Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice and packing list. Testing covers heavy metals, microbiology, moisture and colour strength.
We quote against your requirement — form, grade and volume all move the number. Lumps cost less than powder since you are not paying for a mill run.
Tell us the form, the volume and the market you sell into. We send a full specification sheet and a price against your real quantity. If we are not the right supplier for your requirement, we will say so rather than quoting badly.
Lumps are the unground pressed form; powder is the same material milled. Lumps let you mill to your own mesh and cost less per kilo.
Plant nila is indigo, from the plant used for centuries to dye textiles. Mineral nila is ultramarine — a different material, and the one to choose when shade consistency matters more than a botanical claim.
Yes, and a good number of our customers do. It is cheaper per kilo and gives you full control over particle size.
Worldwide by air and sea. Every quotation states the Incoterm, so confirm the term before comparing our price against another supplier's.
