Seoul is globally recognized as the epicenter of advanced nutriceuticals and functional cosmetics. Driven by the rapidly aging population in South Korea and a strong cultural affinity for health-functional foods (건강기능식품), the demand for high-quality botanical raw materials is higher than ever. Chief among these active ingredients is Mulberry Powder (Morus alba), prized for its exceptional concentration of 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), a natural iminosugar that plays a critical role in blood glucose control and glycemic balance.
Seoul-based biopharmaceutical firms, traditional Korean medicine (Hanbang) startups, and K-Beauty formulation labs require consistent, highly purified, and heavy-metal-compliant raw materials. To satisfy these rigorous demands, importers must establish partnerships with manufacturers that possess advanced separation technologies, reliable agricultural origins, and deep regulatory knowledge.
As a leading supplier and exporter serving Seoul, UniCare acts as the bridge between raw agricultural resilience in mainland China and the high-value clinical demands of Korean buyers. We provide customized mesh sizes, standardized active compound percentages (from 1% to 5% DNJ), and prompt logistical deliveries to Incheon Port and Gimpo/Incheon International Airports.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms and extraction methodologies that make Mulberry Leaf Powder a critical asset for modern wellness formulations.
The principal compound of interest in premium mulberry leaf extract is 1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ). As an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, 1-DNJ binds competitively to intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into glucose. By delaying or reducing carbohydrate absorption, it helps prevent rapid blood sugar spikes post-meals, making it a key component in metabolic syndrome formulations across Seoul's functional beverage sectors.
Beyond metabolic health, cosmetic labs in Gangnam and Seongsu-dong utilize Mulberry Leaf Extract for its rich content of oxyresveratrol and mulberroside A. These constituents are potent tyrosinase inhibitors, which suppress melanin synthesis. Consequently, this ingredient is widely integrated into brightening serums, targeted spot-correcting lotions, and anti-aging treatments across the Korean cosmetics sector.

Ensuring clean raw materials from seed genetics to scale-up manufacturing systems.
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 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.
Navigating the supply chain requirements between China's industrial agricultural hubs and Seoul's buyers requires an experienced logistical framework. UniCare manages its logistics network to ensure reliable raw material delivery directly to manufacturing corridors in Gyeonggi-do, Incheon, and central Seoul.
Our partnerships with maritime carriers and air freight networks ensure that raw botanical shipments clear customs quickly. Because we pre-validate every batch against KFDA (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvent parameters at our CNAS-accredited lab, we reduce the risk of quarantine delays at Korean ports. This predictability allows our Seoul clients to maintain lean inventory levels while running Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing schedules.
