Direct supply of high-purity extracts engineered to meet the strict quality mandates of Turkish manufacturers.
Istanbul serves as the strategic transcontinental hub connecting European regulatory sophistication with Middle Eastern and Asian manufacturing capabilities. As Turkey’s dominant industrial core, the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and personal care sectors in Istanbul (headquartered in zones like Hadımköy, Tuzla, and Esenyurt) have experienced a significant paradigm shift. Driven by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Health, there is an escalating demand for standardized plant actives that offer verifiable biological efficacy, high stability, and absolute clean-label compliance.
From premium anti-aging cosmetics honoring traditional Turkish hammam therapeutics with modernized formulas (such as high-polyphenol Pomegranate and Olive Leaf extracts) to phytopharmaceuticals requiring GMP validation (like Ginkgo Biloba and Berberine HCl), local formulators demand reliable supply lines. The modern consumer in Turkey requires products that are not only natural but backed by clinical metrics, raising the barrier of entry for bulk raw materials.
Establishing direct routes from optimized cultivation fields in China to manufacturing plants in Istanbul allows local businesses to mitigate pricing volatility, guarantee traceability, and secure a significant competitive advantage in domestic and export markets across Eastern Europe, the CIS, and the MENA region.

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 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.
