As a vital provitamin A carotenoid, Beta Carotene has transitioned from a basic food colorant to a cornerstone of wellness and functional nutrition. Modern consumers demand clean-label, plant-derived, and allergen-free alternatives. This dynamic shift drives manufacturers to prioritize non-GMO, naturally fermented, and sustainably sourced bulk Beta Carotene to maintain shelf stability, bioavailability, and label transparency.
The global carotenoids market is experiencing rapid expansion, fueled by the demand for clean-label products. Natural Beta Carotene derived from fermentation (such as Blakeslea trispora) or microalgae (Dunaliella salina) is progressively replacing synthetic options across premium cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and infant nutrition sectors.
Standard bulk carotenoids deteriorate rapidly when exposed to oxygen, heat, and light. To counter this vulnerability, modern B2B buyers look for ODM suppliers capable of supplying customized formulation options, including cold water dispersible (CWD) powders, beadlets, and specialized oil suspensions.
Global logistics and distribution require compliant formulations that meet distinct regional limits. Sourcing beta carotene with comprehensive compliance documentation—including EFSA compliance in Europe and FDA GRAS status in the United States—is critical to eliminating supply chain delays.
Food & Beverage Industry: Our heat-stable and pH-resistant beta carotene formulations ensure consistent coloration in dairy products, juices, bakery items, and functional beverages. We solve the common issue of ringing and sediment formation in liquid applications.
Dietary Supplements: Leveraging high-purity crystalline formats and microencapsulated beadlets, we deliver provitamin A sources optimized for multi-vitamin tablets, softgels, hard capsules, and functional gummies.
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized for its deep color and powerful antioxidant profile, our cosmetic-grade Beta Carotene helps protect formulations from oxidative degradation while offering skin-conditioning benefits in anti-aging creams and sun protection lotions.
"Delivering stable raw materials isn't just about sourcing; it requires an deep understanding of matrix interactions, emulsion chemistry, and structural stability."

A Global Leader in Natural Ingredients
Benefiting from the solid foundation provided by its parent company, Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc. focuses on researching, developing, producing and selling healthy natural ingredients. With more than two decades of industry experience, it has become a leader in the field, specializing in providing high-quality plant extracts and customized solutions to global customers. Services meet the needs of industries including herbal medicine, health foods, dietary supplements, food and beverages, daily chemicals and cosmetics.
Our operations are supported by three companies - Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc. and Shaanxi Tianben Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. - which together operate 3 production bases covering more than 100 acres and process more than 3,000 tons of plant raw materials each year. The product range includes more than 200 plant extracts, and we also provide a variety of certified organic products to meet the global demand for environmentally friendly and healthy solutions. Exporting to 60% of the world's countries, serving more than 200 countries and regions and more than 500 customers from all walks of life.
Our first factory was established in 2012 in Sanyuan City, Xi'an, four years after our company was founded. At that time, our production experience was still in its early stages, and we faced many challenges as we worked to refine our processes. However, we remained committed to continuous improvement, investing heavily in technology, training, and quality control to strengthen our capabilities. These early efforts laid a strong foundation for our future growth, shaping the high standards of excellence that we uphold today.
Powder collection, crushing and sieving, mixing and drying processes are all performed in a Class 100,000 cleanroom environment. Our operators strictly follow hygiene protocols and wear sterile gowns, masks and gloves to maintain product purity and safety, thus ensuring that we provide our customers with high quality standards and reliable ingredients.

Distributing bulk dietary ingredients globally requires strict adherence to international food safety and chemical registration systems. We minimize market entry barriers for our partners by managing full-cycle compliance, safety, and customs clearance protocols.
Our raw materials comply with international standards. We supply full documentation for ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Kosher, Halal, USDA Organic, and EFSA standards, allowing seamless entry into restrictive regional markets.
Every shipment undergoes HPLC verification, heavy metal screening, microbiological analysis, and solvent residue testing. Retained samples are archived for two years to ensure complete traceability.
To reduce delivery times, we utilize localized logistics models and regional distribution partners. Our temperature-controlled shipping methods protect active carotenoids from heat-induced degradation.
As carotenoid extraction technologies evolve, our research and development programs focus on improving sustainability, bioavailability, and structural stability.
Developing starch-sodium octenyl succinate (OSA) and gelatin-free carrier matrices to optimize stability and deliver allergen-free, vegan-friendly labeling solutions.
Using self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) to increase gastrointestinal absorption of beta carotene in functional foods and clinical nutrition formats.
Phasing out organic solvents by shifting to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) extraction methods to deliver pure, residue-free carotenoids.
Integrating machine learning algorithms in our Sanyuan facility to monitor and optimize fermentation environments, ensuring consistent yield and biological activity.
