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 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.
Analyzing the Pacific Northwest's strict clean label trends and the rise of local functional ingredient applications.
Washington state brands demand complete transparency. We ensure low heavy metals, pesticide clearance (GC-MS-MS), and zero adulterants, fully meeting USDA and FDA compliance.
The greater Seattle area, encompassing Bellevue, Redmond, and Tacoma, is a leading hub for functional food startups and supplement companies. However, importing raw botanical extracts poses logistical and quality challenges. UniCare acts as the direct link between state-of-the-art Chinese manufacturing plants and PNW product developers.
Through our partnership with logistics hubs near the Port of Seattle, we provide reliable customs clearance, constant temperature storage, and optimized local transportation. This ensures our premium freeze-dried and spray-dried Black Currant Powder arrives with its high concentrations of delphinidin and cyanidin glucosides intact.
Driving innovation in botanical extraction to deliver sustainable, safe, and active natural solutions globally.
Uncovering and unlocking the latent nutritional and therapeutic potential of natural herbs.
Constantly optimizing botanical extraction yields and active component stability.
Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to manufacture standard-setting ingredients.
Fostering employee growth and supporting sustainable agricultural programs.
Black currant (Ribes nigrum) is natural fruit powder that is exceptionally rich in health-promoting anthocyanins. However, these active molecules are highly sensitive to thermal degradation, light, and oxidation.
Our technical roadmap focuses on protecting these delicate pigments using Advanced Microencapsulation and Low-Temperature Spray-Drying techniques. By coating the active anthocyanins in a natural polysaccharide matrix, we improve both stability and water solubility.
Our Black Currant Powders are designed to meet diverse product formulation needs, from rich colorants to high-potency standardized extracts.
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. This includes the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract using the acetone process in all of China.

Investing in biotechnology and sustainable agriculture to deliver highly effective active ingredients.
UniCare reinvests 10% of our annual net profit directly back into research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have established a professional R&D department dedicated to natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation, we aim to break through traditional extraction limits and innovate new ingredient solutions.
UniCare maintains deep research cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and scale-manufacturing new botanical compounds for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutritional products.
To ensure complete control over raw materials, we have established a traceability system that extends down to individual plots of cultivated land, tracing the raw materials used in each production batch. Raw materials are stored and handled according to our quality management system, where active content, moisture, ash, heavy metals, and pesticide residues are tightly monitored.
UniCare cooperates directly with local farmers to manage planting bases for Ginkgo leaves, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive leaves. Several of these bases are managed in accordance with the GACP model. We also partner with agricultural science firms to develop high-yield crop varieties via hybrid cultivation, working to optimize efficiency and lower costs for end-users.
Our GMP-certified manufacturing processes and standardized testing environments serve global botanical buyers.
Providing technical answers regarding sourcing, purity, and shipping solutions to Seattle.
We standardize our Black Currant Powder using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure specific active anthocyanins, such as delphinidin-3-rutinoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside. This ensures consistent batch-to-batch color intensity and functional potency for dietary supplement manufacturers.
We use protective packaging, including vacuum-sealed, multi-layered aluminum foil bags housed in heavy-duty fiber drums. For shipping to Seattle, we utilize temperature-controlled logistics to safeguard heat-sensitive active compounds from thermal degradation.
Our manufacturing partners operate under strict GMP systems and maintain ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP certifications. Our specialized Ginkgo Biloba production line is also certified under EU-GMP and CEP, demonstrating compliance with pharmaceutical-grade standards.
