Explore our export-ready active ingredients manufactured under stringent GMP, ISO, and MFDS-aligned quality controls with batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (CoA).
As South Korea's cosmetic, nutraceutical, and functional beverage industries demand increasingly stringent active component verification, sourcing unadulterated, highly standardized Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis) has become a strategic priority for procurement directors in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do. SV Botanica (RUIWO Phytochem supply ecosystem) operates as an established global manufacturer and B2B bulk exporter, delivering high-purity polyphenols, catechins, (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and L-Theanine tailored specifically to South Korean regulatory frameworks.
Our extraction facilities utilize advanced liquid-solid countercurrent extraction and continuous centrifugal purification systems, guaranteeing strict control over catechins profiles, solvent residues, heavy metal contaminants, and microbiological parameters. Whether your development pipeline targets K-Beauty derma-cosmetics in Seongsu-dong, Health Functional Foods (건강기능식품) registered with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in Cheongju/Seoul, or high-clarity RTD tea ampoules, our supply chain ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility backed by comprehensive chromatographic verification.
Analyzing key commercial vectors driving green tea active ingredient demand across South Korean cosmetic laboratories, functional food OEMs, and derma-nutraceutical brands.
Seoul’s skincare R&D hubs in Gangnam and Seongsu are heavily formulating around green tea polyphenols for acneic soothing, sebum regulation, and anti-photoaging. Ultra-purified EGCG (>90% or >95%) is in high demand for its ability to neutralize ROS generated by fine dust (PM2.5) exposure and UV radiation.
The Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) recognizes Green Tea Extract as a functional raw material for body fat reduction and blood cholesterol improvement. Formulators require standardized total catechins (>200mg/g) with verified EGCG daily intake thresholds kept safely under the 300mg MFDS limit.
South Korean consumers actively scrutinize ingredient labels for solvent residues. Conventional green tea extraction using ethyl acetate or chlorinated solvents is being systematically replaced by eco-friendly water extraction and food-grade ethanol isolation.
How our varied standardized grades of Green Tea Extract are deployed across commercial manufacturing facilities in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.
OEM Location Focus: Incheon Beauty Zone, Namdong Industrial Complex, Seongsu Formulations Labs.
Ingredient Grade: Decaffeinated Green Tea Extract (EGCG 90% / 95% Pure Grade, Caffeine <0.5%).
Technical Function: EGCG inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1) triggered by urban pollution, while suppressing 5-alpha reductase to decrease sebum overproduction. Decaffeinated status ensures zero irritation on sensitive or compromised skin barriers.
OEM Location Focus: Osong Health Technology Administration Complex & Gyeonggi Contract Manufacturers.
Ingredient Grade: Standardized Green Tea Extract (Polyphenols 50%-98%, Catechins 30%-80%, EGCG 15%-50%).
Technical Function: Catechins stimulate thermogenesis and beta-oxidation of fatty acids. Powder particle sizing (80-100 mesh) ensures smooth flowability in high-speed hard capsule filling lines and tablet compression machines.
OEM Location Focus: Jincheon, Anseong, and Hwaseong Beverage Bottling Plants.
Ingredient Grade: Water-Soluble Instant Green Tea Extract Powder (Cold Water Dissolvable, Low Bitterness).
Technical Function: Proprietary debittering centrifugation removes astringent tannins while retaining active monomeric catechins. Rapidly dissolves in cold liquid without cloudiness, precipitation, or sedimentation over a 12-month shelf life.
OEM Location Focus: Seoul Digital Industrial Complex (Guro-gu) Personal Care OEMs.
Ingredient Grade: Green Tea Extract 50% Polyphenols / High L-Theanine Custom Blends.
Technical Function: Polyphenols reduce micro-inflammation around the hair follicle bulb caused by scalp sebum oxidation, while L-Theanine provides soothing dermal conditioning for stressed scalp micro-environments.
Standardized chemical specifications engineered for technical matching against Korean Pharmacopoeia and MFDS testing standards.

Combining world-class botanical sourcing infrastructure with strict batch verification protocols to ensure seamless import clearance at Incheon Port.
We explicitly state the test method on every Certificate of Analysis (CoA). We eliminate assay discrepancies by validating UV-Vis readings against High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) calibrated to international botanical reference standards.
Every batch undergoes Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) screening to guarantee compliance with South Korea’s strict heavy metal thresholds (Lead <2.0 mg/kg, Arsenic <1.0 mg/kg, Cadmium <1.0 mg/kg, Mercury <0.1 mg/kg).
Our green tea powders are processed using steam-sterilization units with zero Ethylene Oxide (ETO) or irradiation. Multi-residue pesticide screening covers over 400 pesticides aligned with South Korea's Positive List System (PLS).
We source raw Camellia sinensis leaves directly from audited high-altitude tea plantations. Full lot traceability connects the harvested leaf batch to the final extract drum delivered to your facility in South Korea.
Shipments arrive complete with Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Airway Bills / Bills of Lading, Certificate of Origin (COO), Phytosanitary Certificates, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and batch-specific CoAs matching customs requirements.
Our dedicated export desk handles specification inquiries, custom mesh requests, sample dispatches, and regulatory dossier preparation with guaranteed response times within 24 business hours.
Technical, regulatory, and logistics clarity for sourcing directors, QA managers, and formulators based in South Korea.
Our green tea extracts are processed to strictly comply with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) Health Functional Food Code. We standardize total catechins and ensure EGCG levels are documented accurately by HPLC. Additionally, our heavy metal, microbiological, and pesticide residue limits meet or exceed the Korean Food Code standard limits.
We utilize Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) according to ISO 14502-2 or USP methods. Unlike basic UV-Vis spectrophotometry—which can over-quantify polyphenols due to interfering compounds—HPLC provides precise quantification of individual monomers: EGCG, ECG, EGC, and EC.
Yes. We offer specialized decaffeinated grades with caffeine content guaranteed below 0.5% (and ultra-pure grades down to <0.1%). These are widely specified by K-Beauty brands for sensitive skin formulations to eliminate potential topical stimulation or rest-state micro-vascular dilation.
Our standard MOQ starts at 25 kg in heavy-duty fiber drums with double-lined PE food-grade bags. Stocked standardized items can be dispatched via air freight to Incheon (ICN) within 5–7 business days, or via sea freight to Incheon/Busan within 12–18 days.
Yes. All our botanical powders undergo pure heat-steam sterilization. We do not use Ethylene Oxide gas, gamma irradiation, or ETO-generating chemical agents, ensuring full compliance with clean-label requirements in South Korea and the European Union.
Green tea polyphenol powders are naturally hygroscopic. Our export packaging features vacuum-sealed, aluminum-foil inner barriers protected within high-density poly-lined drums, maintaining optimal moisture levels (<5.0%) and preventing clumping during transit and storage in Korean warehousing facilities.
Absolutely. We dispatch 50g–100g pre-shipment samples accompanied by a matching batch Certificate of Analysis via international express couriers (DHL/FedEx) directly to your laboratory in South Korea within 3–5 days for evaluation prior to bulk contract execution.
