Discover our primary selection of premium, high-purity natural active ingredients customized for global food, supplement, and cosmetic industries.
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.
China accounts for over 70% of the world's green tea production. As a premier exporter, UniCare harnesses local agricultural advantages, advanced technology, and rigorous quality standards.
Our sourcing reaches directly to tea plantations in Zhejiang, Anhui, and Sichuan provinces. These sites follow GACP guidelines, mitigating heavy metals and pesticide residue at the agricultural roots.
Utilizing advanced water extraction, resin chromatography adsorption, and supercritical CO2 extraction, we offer EGCG purities up to 98% and L-Theanine crystallization at competitive industrial scale.
Fully compliance with European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) regulations and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) pesticide levels. Automated factory lines achieve massive cost efficiency without compromising purity parameters.
Many global manufacturers face regulatory issues with solvent residues when decaffeinating green tea extract. UniCare's manufacturing process utilizes pure water and natural ethyl acetate (or green CO2 extraction) to lower caffeine contents to less than 0.1% while maintaining zero toxic organic solvent residues in the final powder.
Equipped with the largest and most advanced botanical extraction setups in China, UniCare's manufacturing lines are controlled by modern, automated, and intelligent systems.
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.
We support global brands with custom physical and chemical specs, offering solutions that fit diverse regulatory and application needs.
High EGCG (94%-98%) and Epicatechin variants. Excellent thermogenic and cellular health benefits, packed in standardized formats compliant with FDA dietary ingredient guidelines.
Instant cold-water-soluble green tea extract powder. Clear dissolution profile with zero cloudiness, sediment, or astringent taste. Standardized polyphenols for energy drinks.
Active polyphenol extracts with powerful radical scavenging capacity. Extensively used in formulations for UV-induced skin damage recovery and oily skin soothing lotions.
The global demand for clean label green tea extracts is pivoting toward pesticide-free certification and synergistic combinations (such as L-Theanine + Caffeine combinations for cognitive function). In response, Chinese production centers are introducing ultra-performance chromatography and bio-enzymatic conversion technologies to develop active compounds without harsh chemical extraction methods.
United New Life has established a leading and complete quality control system, and strictly controls the high quality of products in accordance with the quality system.

A direct look into UniCare's extraction facilities, warehouses, and standard operating environments.
UniCare invest 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 the natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through the traditional processes and disrupt industry development. UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming the new raw materials of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced products.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement to every piece of planting land and can trace the raw materials of each batch of products. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, and the content of active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other items of raw materials are strictly controlled.
At the same time, in order to further ensure the high quality of important products, UniCare cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, olive leaf planting bases, etc. 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, so as to continuously reduce unit costs to benefit users.
For QA managers and procurement officers looking for bulk Green Tea Extract, executing a methodical check is essential to guarantee quality and regulatory safety.
Spring harvest green tea yields the highest L-theanine and polyphenol contents, whereas summer harvests contain more bitter catechins. Ensure your supplier defines their harvesting period in the documentation. GACP compliance is necessary to pass EU and USDA pesticide residue screen scans.
Traditional baking and drying techniques can contaminate tea leaves with PAHs. High-end Chinese factories use clean steam drying and indirect heat air flow processing, keeping Benzo(a)pyrene and total PAH levels safely below the EU limits of 10 ppb / 50 ppb.
A qualified partner should provide a complete documentation package: Allergen statements, Non-GMO verification, TSE/BSE free declarations, heavy metals analysis by ICP-MS, and pesticide screening conforming to European Pharmacopoeia (EP 2.8.13) rules.
