Deploying state-of-the-art purification pathways to deliver fully certified, high-potency raw materials for top-tier manufacturers globally.
Organic Carnauba Wax (Copernicia prunifera) remains one of the world's most resilient, versatile, and high-melting-point plant waxes available. Sourced primarily from the dry northeastern regions of Brazil and refined through complex physical filtration and decolorization cycles, it constitutes a pivotal raw material in international industrial ecosystems. Its exceptional hardness, thermal stability (melting range: 82°C to 86°C), and brilliant structural luster make it irreplaceable for applications spanning food glazing, pharmaceutical coatings, clean-label cosmetics, and precision engineering coatings.
For B2B procurement professionals, securing a stable supply of certified Organic Carnauba Wax is crucial. The market demands rigorous regulatory validation (USDA Organic, EU Ecocert, FDA compliance, Kosher, Halal) paired with a robust supply chain that can withstand climatic and regional challenges. UniCare integrates comprehensive natural refining technologies with global logistics to offer raw material solutions that surpass expectations in terms of purity and compliance.
We provide customized wax formulations tailored to the precise requirements of specific industrial sectors, ensuring seamless integration into your existing production processes.
Provides barrier properties and a smooth, hard finish for tablet coatings. Ensures controlled release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and offers superior humidity protection.
Approved as a glazing agent (E903), our organic carnauba wax provides an excellent moisture barrier, preventing desiccation while delivering a high-gloss finish for confectionery and fresh fruits.
Acts as an organic structuring agent, viscosity modifier, and emollient in lipsticks, balms, and mascaras. Offers a high melting threshold for excellent formulation stability in hot climates.
UniCare is a professional supplier of natural active ingredients. Our products are widely used in various fields such as dietary supplements, food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. We focus on product development and quality stability, and insist on growing together with our customers around the world.
UniCare has established deep cooperation with several excellent Chinese manufacturers who hold complete quality management system certifications, including but not limited to GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP. Each factory features independent testing capabilities and is equipped with advanced and efficient analytical systems to ensure the high quality and long-term stability of every product batch.
UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and partners with the largest and most advanced extraction factories. The entire production line is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system. Currently, the production infrastructure includes two GMP-compliant workshops containing six multi-functional extraction lines, featuring the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract via the acetone process in all of China.
In addition, specialized fermentation and Chinese medicine piece lines allow for an annual processing capacity of 30,000 tons of raw materials, ensuring continuous volume availability for high-demand global supply agreements.
UniCare has established a comprehensive quality control framework that ensures all natural materials and waxes comply with strict global safety indices. Operating within a dedicated Central Laboratory modeled under CNAS guidelines, we strictly monitor active component concentration, residual solvents, pesticides, and heavy metal profiles.

UniCare reinvests 10% of our annual net profit into research and development. Beyond optimizing botanical extraction, we have established a dedicated natural fermentation laboratory. In cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, we develop and scale up innovative active compounds for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
To control quality at the source, we manage a raw material procurement network that reaches down to individual cultivation plots. By establishing dedicated agricultural bases for Ginkgo leaf, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive leaf, we maintain control over pesticide use and environmental factors. Key sites operate under GACP guidelines, supported by ongoing selective breeding to ensure high active ingredient concentrations.
As regulatory scrutiny on synthetic, petroleum-derived microcrystalline waxes and paraffins increases globally (particularly across the EU and North America), natural waxes are experiencing unprecedented demand. Our engineering group is building a roadmap focused on physical purification technologies that eliminate chemical bleaching agents. By using carbon-neutral refining steps, we ensure our organic carnauba wax maintains its natural properties while minimizing processing emissions.
Future development aims to combine natural plant waxes with specialized botanical extracts to create functional coatings. These composite layers will provide both physical protection and active preservation (antioxidant/antimicrobial) for advanced food packaging and pharmaceutical systems.
Technical solutions and regulatory answers regarding organic carnauba wax and specialized plant extracts.
Organic Carnauba Wax is harvested and processed without synthetic chemical processing aids or solvent extraction. Its production complies with organic certification standards (such as USDA Organic or Ecocert). Physically, it retains its natural hard wax esters, high melting point, and stability without leaving chemical residues behind.
Depending on the product class, our partner factories carry GMP, EU-GMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP certifications. Every batch is shipped with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documenting HPLC/UV assays, heavy metals (ICP-MS), residual solvents (GC), and microbial analysis.
We analyze heavy metal levels using high-precision Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This lets us detect trace elements (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper) down to parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, ensuring full compliance with both USP and EP pharmacopoeia standards.
