Explore our premium active raw materials, meticulously processed to exceed USP, EP, and JP standards for international pharmaceutical, nutritional supplement, and cosmetic distribution.
Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech Co., Ltd. is a pioneering, GMP-compliant manufacturer and global exporter specialized in the research, commercial extraction, and international distribution of enzymes, natural plant extracts, vitamins, amino acids, and key pharmaceutical intermediates.
With an unwavering commitment to quality assurance and continuous technological evolution, we supply high-performance botanical derivatives and enzyme formulations to formulators, researchers, and brands in over 50 countries across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Our premium birch bark extraction facility focuses on harvesting, purifying, and scaling the active pentacyclic triterpenes—mainly Betulin (up to 98% HPLC) and Betulinic Acid—offering an unprecedented standard of safety, bioavailability, and biological efficacy.
A comprehensive overview of our extraction engineering, chiral chromatography separation, and innovative bioavailability enhancement protocols for industrial-scale Betulin production.
Traditional extraction protocols utilize toxic solvents like chlorinated hydrocarbons. ShineHerb utilizes supercritical CO2 extraction combined with polar co-solvents (food-grade ethanol) to run at lower temperatures. This avoids thermal degradation of the triterpenes while guaranteeing a zero toxic organic solvent residue profile.
To isolate Betulin and Betulinic Acid at high purity levels (98% HPLC), we implement precise column chromatography followed by multi-stage crystallization utilizing safe recrystallization solvents. This selective separation achieves clear separation of structurally identical isomers, preventing batch interference.
Pentacyclic triterpenes are highly hydrophobic, presenting formulation challenges. Our R&D division has developed micro-emulsion and cyclodextrin-inclusion complexes. This increases raw dispersion properties and water solubility by over 300%, facilitating seamless incorporation into cosmetics and beverages.
Looking forward, ShineHerb is investing in synthetic biology platforms to engineer yeast strains capable of producing precursor lupeol and betulin. This hybrid model ensures consistent long-term supply resilience, insulating B2B partners from wild-harvest seasonal limitations and climatic shocks.
Industrial applications of Birch Bark Extract (Betulin and Betulinic Acid) spanning dermatology, pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and functional consumer products.
Maximizing raw processing capability and minimizing environmental footprint through closed-loop automated green chemistry extraction.
Operating out of the High-Tech Zone in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, our manufacturing center maintains direct sourcing partnerships across China's major forest reserves. This guarantees traceably documented raw birch bark input, completely free from agricultural contaminants.
Our extraction lines utilize programmable DCS control systems, providing continuous logging of solvent temperature, pressure, flow metrics, and yield rates. By upgrading to a closed-loop recycling infrastructure, we recover more than 95% of our processing ethanol, reducing carbon emissions and minimizing manufacturing overhead.
Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech Co., Ltd. has built its reputation on three main pillars: Quality, Technical Support, and strict GMP Requirements.
Quality is the core of a company's survival and development. ShineHerb Biotech has established a strict quality management system, covering raw material inspection, production process control, solvent and excipient management, and final product testing, ensuring rigorous quality control at every stage.

Expert answers addressing the chemical profiles, certification requirements, biological activities, and formulation compatibility of Birch Bark Extracts.
The primary active components of birch bark extract (harvested mainly from Betula platyphylla or Betula pendula) are pentacyclic triterpenoids, most notably Betulin (found up to 30% in the dry outer bark) and Betulinic Acid, alongside lupeol, oleanolic acid, and specific polyphenols.
ShineHerb source-controls raw birch bark by partnering with forestry authorities that manage forest clearing and timber processing byproducts. Instead of cutting down living stands, we collect and extract the outer bark from felled timber, ensuring a completely circular, zero-deforestation raw material loop.
We utilize a multi-step purification method consisting of primary extraction with food-grade ethanol, followed by target filtration and decolorization over activated carbon beds. The refined concentrate is subjected to column chromatography and recrystallization to selectively precipitate Betulin, yielding a pure white crystalline powder validated at ≥98.0% by HPLC-DAD.
Betulin and Betulinic Acid are powerful anti-aging actives. They inhibit the enzymes elastase and collagenase, preventing the degradation of elastin and collagen fibers. Concurrently, they stimulate the expression of Type I and Type III collagen genes in dermal fibroblast cells, smoothing fine lines and restoring skin elasticity.
For water-based applications like serums, toners, and functional beverages, we produce customized water-soluble complexes. This is achieved by encapsulating the hydrophobic Betulin inside hydrophilic beta-cyclodextrin cavities or using self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS), drastically improving stability and bio-absorption rates.
Yes, every batch undergoes third-party lab verification (SGS/Eurofins) for heavy metals (Arsenic < 1ppm, Lead < 2ppm, Mercury < 0.1ppm, Cadmium < 1ppm). We ensure strict compliance with EC 396/2005 for pesticide residues, and guarantee our products are free of ethylene oxide (EtO) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH4).
Our high-purity Betulin powder is stable for 24 months when stored in its original unopened packaging. It should be kept in a cool, dry warehouse protected from direct sunlight, high moisture, and heat to prevent powder compaction or triterpene oxidation.
Yes. Under our contract manufacturing services, we process raw ingredients into consumer-ready formats. We handle custom capsule encapsulation (gelatin or Vcaps), tablet pressing, powder blends, gummies, and custom-labeled retail bottles in our cleanrooms.
We provide complete commercial documents, including a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Allergen Statement, Non-GMO declaration, and Phytosanitary Certificates to guarantee seamless customs clearance.
Standard stocked specifications (such as Betulin 98%) ship within 3–5 working days from our Xi'an warehouse. Custom specifications requiring specialized column chromatography or micronization processes typically ship in 14–21 days, depending on batch volume.
