Best Olive Leaf Extract Supplier & Exporters

Global Industrial Ingredients Partner: High-Yield Oleuropein & Hydroxytyrosol Manufacturing, Certified Facility and Customized Active Ingredient Formulations

The B2B Standard for Olive Leaf Extract Supply

Olive Leaf Extract (extracted from Olea europaea L.) has transitioned from a traditional herbal remedy to a cornerstone active ingredient in global pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and cosmeceuticals. At the center of its bioactivity are key secoiridoids, primarily Oleuropein, and its downstream metabolite Hydroxytyrosol. As an industry-leading Olive Leaf Extract supplier and exporter, UniCare offers a reliable bridge between state-of-the-art agricultural practices and scientific, large-scale extraction procedures.

For global brands sourcing ingredients, guaranteeing the concentration and safety threshold of active compounds is paramount. Our partner network relies on sophisticated separation technologies to ensure that standardized batches (ranging from 10% to 80% Oleuropein) perform consistently in end-user formulations.

Why Source Olive Leaf Extract from China?

Technological transformation, infrastructural scale, and integrated agricultural supply chains make Chinese manufacturing centers uniquely competitive.

Technological Integration & Scale

Chinese botanical extraction facilities lead the world in transitioning from manual, batch-based processes to automated, continuous-countercurrent systems. This shift provides crucial benefits for global enterprises:

  • Continuous Extraction Efficiency: Utilizing advanced countercurrent loops optimizes solvent-to-biomass contact, ensuring maximum recovery of Oleuropein without thermal degradation.
  • Ecological Solvent Management: High-efficiency closed-loop ethanol recycling lowers environmental footprints and minimizes industrial overheads.
  • Traceable GACP Bases: Partnering directly with regional growers allows raw material standardizations right at the soil level, bypassing intermediary agents.

R&D Excellence & Raw Material Traceability

We control quality from the seedling selection up to final packaging, matching GACP guidelines with advanced molecular biotechnology.

10% Reinvestment in Innovation

UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have also established a professional R&D department for natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through traditional processes and disrupt industry development.

UniCare Research and Development Lab

Traceable Cultivation Bases

In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, extending procurement to every piece of planting land and tracking raw materials for each batch. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, controlling active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, and pesticide residues.

Planting Cultivation and Procurement

Genetic & GACP Cultivation Agreements

UniCare has cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, and olive leaf planting bases. Some of these bases are planted strictly in accordance with the GACP management model. In addition, we cooperate with seedling research and development companies to develop high-content seedling cultivation, and cultivate better seedlings through hybridization or gene optimization, continuously reducing unit costs to benefit users.

Our deep cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation supports the development and transformation of new raw materials of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced goods.

Multidisciplinary Industrial Applications

Standardized formulations engineered to resolve chemical stability, bioavailability, and organoleptic challenges across different industries.

Dietary Supplements

Formulating functional capsules, tablets, and powders requires highly stable Oleuropein. Our powder features low hygroscopicity, reducing caking during dry blending and high-speed tableting.

Cosmeceuticals & Skin Care

Focusing on Hydroxytyrosol for its superior antioxidant potential. Our cosmetic-grade extracts are processed to remove green chlorophyll pigments, preventing discoloration in emulsions and serums.

Food Preservatives & Beverages

Utilizing water-soluble polyphenols as natural antimicrobial agents. Our food-grade solutions are deodorized to minimize the bitter herbaceous taste profile in liquid systems.
