Highly Purified Bio-Active Compounds Under Constant Quality Standardization Protocols
Rosa roxburghii Tratt (colloquially known as Cili, Chestnut Rose, or Burr Rose) represents one of the most therapeutically potent botanical assets native to the mountainous regions of southwestern China, particularly Guizhou. The plant is celebrated globally not only for its resilience but for its unparalleled nutritional profile, characterized by an exceptionally high concentration of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), superoxide dismutase (SOD), flavonoids, and active polysaccharides. As global consumer demand pivots toward natural, clean-label antioxidant therapies, standardization of this ingredient has emerged as a key focus area for food scientists, cosmeticians, and pharmaceutical chemists alike.
Unlike synthetic ascorbic acid, the Vitamin C complex in Rosa roxburghii is organically bound alongside bioflavonoids, which significantly enhances its bio-availability and limits oxidation during processing. Additionally, the high content of native SOD functions as a robust catalyst for neutralizing superoxide free radicals, placing Rosa roxburghii at the apex of natural anti-senescence and immunomodulatory ingredients. For international formulators looking for high-stability active ingredients, partnering with a qualified Rosa Roxburghii exporter is essential to guarantee standardized levels of these active metabolites.
The commercialization of Rosa roxburghii has transitioned from localized, artisanal usage to a highly integrated, technology-driven global marketplace. Regulatory advancements in Europe (Novel Food compliance pathways) and North America (NDI and GRAS frameworks) have unlocked access to major nutritional brands. The primary driver of this transition is the search for natural alternatives to synthetic food additives and highly processed functional beverage enhancers.
Currently, global functional ingredient distribution centers are registering double-digit compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for high-potency antioxidant extracts. The cosmetic sector, particularly in Japan and South Korea, actively incorporates standardized Rosa roxburghii extract for its proven pathway in inhibiting melanogenesis and reducing UV-induced oxidative damage to dermal fibroblasts. As a leading exporter, our supply chain ensures that our partners receive extracts with certified active concentrations, ensuring performance consistency across batches.
UniCare is a professional supplier of natural active ingredients. Our products are widely used in various fields such as dietary supplement, 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 deep cooperation with several excellent Chinese manufacturers who have complete quality management system certifications, including but not limited to GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP. Each factory has independent testing capabilities and is equipped with advanced and efficient testing equipment to ensure the high quality and long-term stability of each batch of products.
Preserving Molecular Bioactivity through Advanced Separation Science
To prevent thermal degradation of native Vitamin C and active SOD proteins, harvested fresh fruits are immediately flash-frozen at -40°C. This arrests enzymatic auto-degradation and preserves the cellular matrix before processing.
Utilizing state-of-the-art ceramic membrane separation filters to clean, refine, and concentrate the aqueous extract. This physical separation technology avoids chemical solvents and preserves clean-label integrity.
Low-temperature vacuum spray drying is executed to convert liquid concentrate into fine, highly soluble powder. This keeps structural denaturation of active enzymes to absolute minimums, maintaining maximum biological activity.
Unmatched Manufacturing Capabilities Engineered for Global Scale
UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and has the largest and most advanced extraction factory in China. The entire production line in UniCare is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system.
Until now, UniCare has built up two GMP workshops, containing six multi-functional extraction lines, among which there is the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract of acetone process in the whole China. Here are several other production lines including fermentation production lines and Chinese medicine pieces. A total of 30,000 tons of various Chinese medicine plant raw materials can be processed each year.
The manufacturing facility has fully passed the comprehensive China GMP certification protocol.
Certified EU-GMP and CEP for Ginkgo Biloba Extract, establishing the baseline for our global pharmaceutical-grade supply chain quality.
All extraction production lines adopt modern, intelligent, and fully automated control systems to eliminate batch variance.
Equipped with the most sophisticated extraction hardware designs available within China's phytochem processing industry.
Annual processing capabilities scale up to 30,000 tons of medicinal raw botanical materials.
Includes three annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (10t & 15t), two multi-functional lines (32 tanks, 6 cubic meters each), and one round dynamic countercurrent extraction line (10t).

Our analytical chemistry matrix relies on state-of-the-art diagnostic instruments. The central analytical laboratory is qualified by CNAS and operates key equipment systems including:
Empowering Product Life Cycles Through Scientific Partnerships and Genetic Research
UniCare reinvests 10% of our annual net profit into research and development. In addition to optimizing traditional plant extraction configurations, we have established a dedicated R&D group focusing on natural fermentation platforms, pushing technical limits to revolutionize active ingredient efficacy.
We maintain structured academic research cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in biocatalytic and fermentation science, translating advanced laboratory discoveries into high-yield, stable industrial products for global pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers.
To achieve complete safety margins, our agricultural sourcing extends directly to controlled cultivation regions. We trace each production run back to its original cultivation zone. Every batch is evaluated for heavy metals, pesticides, active metabolites, and ash values prior to harvesting.
UniCare maintains co-managed agricultural partnerships for raw material bases including Ginkgo Biloba, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive Leaf. These bases are cultivated in strict compliance with GACP protocols. In parallel, our partners work on genetic profiling and non-GMO breeding programs to cultivate high-active strains that lower production costs.
