Explore our premium selection of phytomedicinal raw materials and standardized extracts, engineered for biological stability, efficacy, and cell-regulatory anti-wrinkle performance.
UniCare stands at the global vanguard as a professional supplier and exporter of natural active ingredients. We bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific innovation and nature's raw botanical power. Our bioactive formulations and standardized herbal solutions are strategically applied in industries demanding superior standard compliance: dietary supplements, functional food systems, clinical cosmetics (cosmeceuticals), and pharmaceutical formulations.
Leveraging deep-rooted partnerships with selected premier Chinese extraction facilities, UniCare operates within a matrix of globally respected quality frameworks. Our production infrastructure maintains active certifications including GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP. Each partner factory features highly autonomous laboratory control blocks loaded with ultra-modern analytical verification systems, ensuring batch-to-batch chemical profile replication and indefinite quality safety.
The global demand for high-efficacy anti-wrinkle formulas is experiencing a major paradigm shift. Driven by advanced cellular biology and the regulatory push against synthetic preservation agents, cosmetic formulators and nutraceutical manufacturers are seeking bio-active alternatives that offer tangible molecular benefits. Modern cosmeceuticals target specific pathways of aging—specifically the inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), the promotion of Collagen Types I & III synthesis, and the defense of the dermal matrix against oxidative stress.
Phytochemical active compounds, particularly polyphenols (Resveratrol) and flavonols (Quercetin, Fisetin), act as powerful sirtuin activators. Sirtuins (SIRT1) regulate DNA repair, cell cycle control, and tissue regeneration, dramatically reducing cellular senescence.
Ultraviolet radiation induces the expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) which break down elastin and collagen in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Advanced botanical extracts like Green Tea Polyphenols and Epimedium Icariin block this enzymatic cascade to preserve structural elasticity.
At UniCare, we design industrial active solutions based on ecological responsibility, technological leadership, and value creation.
We continuously isolate, refine, and prove the efficacy of botanical active ingredients to unlock untapped metabolic values.
Adapting state-of-the-art biological extraction technologies to upgrade existing product chemical safety profiles.

Our core competitive advantage is rooted in advanced hardware capability. UniCare’s partners operate the largest and most technologically advanced extraction facility in China. The entire processing line is directed by a real-time, modern, intelligent, automated control system, eliminating human-induced contamination and quality fluctuation risks.
Currently, our manufacturing base features two dedicated GMP workshops containing six multi-functional extraction lines. Among them is the only industrial-scale production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract utilizing the specialized acetone process in the whole of China. An integrated set of fermentation tanks, custom enzyme-modification units, and traditional Chinese medicine piece preparation suites enables an annual throughput of 30,000 tons of botanical raw materials.
The entire facility has passed the China GMP certification and maintains continuous compliance protocols.
Our Ginkgo Biloba Extract holds direct EU-GMP and CEP certifications for export into high-barrier European regions.
All active extraction lines utilize digital monitoring for temperatures, pressure, flow rate, and solvent ratios.
Outfitted with modern, highly integrated industrial distillation and crystallization systems available in China.
Scale economy guarantees procurement advantages, providing a stable supply even during global market shifts.
Features 3 annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (10T & 15T) and 2 multi-functional lines (32 extraction tanks).
The only operational acetone-process extraction line for Ginkgo Biloba in China meeting EU GMP specifications.
Six large-scale fermentation tanks (20-ton capacity each) optimized for developing bio-transformed enzymes and actives.

UniCare reinvests 10% of our annual net profit directly into research and development. In addition to optimizing traditional plant extraction processes, we run a dedicated R&D division focusing on natural fermentation. By optimizing microbial bioconversions, we produce highly bioavailable, enzyme-modified active compounds that circumvent traditional plant growth cycle limits.
To expand our research capabilities, UniCare maintains a close partnership with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation. This cooperation bridges lab-scale molecular discovery with mass-produced pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and healthcare ingredients.
To control raw material safety at the source, we run a fully traceable procurement network that monitors crop health, soil composition, and pesticide usage across every parcel of partner farmland.
UniCare partners with local growers to establish dedicated cultivation centers: Ginkgo Biloba leaf bases, Epimedium planting areas, Phellodendron zones, and Olive leaf cultivation sites. Many of these bases operate under the Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) model.
