Industrial Application Insight

Empowering Catalonia's Bio-Health, Cosmeceutical & Clean-Label Food Industries

Barcelona represents the epicentre of the Spanish life sciences industry, anchored by CataloniaBio & HealthTech and premier R&D ecosystems like the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) and the 22@ Innovation District. We align origin botanical extraction with the precise formulation demands of Mediterranean producers.

Cosmeceuticals & Dermo-Aesthetics

Greater Barcelona hosts world-leading dermatological powerhouses like Puig, ISDIN, Cantabria Labs, and Almirall. Our high-purity Alpha-Arbutin (99%), plant-derived Resveratrol, GHK-Cu, and Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin serve as foundational active cosmetic raw materials. In alignment with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, each raw lot arrives with detailed Safety Data Sheets (SDS), toxicological profiles, and absence certificates for CMR substances, dioxane, and SVHC allergens.

Cellular Longevity & Nutraceuticals

With Catalonia driving preventative gerontology and metabolic wellness, contract supplement manufacturers across Vallès Occidental and Baix Llobregat formulate cutting-edge longevity blends. We deliver batch-controlled NAD+, NADH, NMN, Coenzyme Q10 (98%), and cracked-cell wall Reishi / Lion's Mane mushroom extract standardized to ≥30% Beta-Glucans, complete with HPLC fingerprints and micro-powder milling compatible with high-speed automated two-piece encapsulation machines.

Artisan Gastronomy & Plant Beverages

Barcelona's globally recognized culinary scene and functional café culture demand exceptional sensory qualities. Our shade-grown, stone-milled Ceremonial Matcha, Phycocyanin Blue Spirulina (E25), and 450-mesh Butterfly Pea Flower satisfy strict consumer demands for clean-label, plant-based coloring free from synthetic dyes like Brilliant Blue (E133). These botanicals are stable in plant milk emulsions, cold-pressed juices, artisanal gelato, and baked pastries.

Catalonia Regulatory Landscapes: Mitigating Supply Chain Risk

Importing raw botanical ingredients into Spain through the Port of Barcelona (Port Vell / ZAL) or Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport requires meticulous adherence to EU, AESAN, and Catalan health inspection frameworks.

1. Multi-Residue Pesticide Compliance

Under European Commission Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, maximum residue limits (MRLs) for botanicals are aggressively policed. Xi'an Vexli Bio-Tech tests production batches according to BS EN 15662 methodologies by accredited laboratories (SGS / Eurofins), guaranteeing the absolute absence of neonicotinoids and prohibited substances before ocean transport.

2. Heavy Metals & Process Contaminants

Spain's AESAN strictly implements Regulation (EU) 2023/915. Botanical powders undergo rigorous screening for Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), and Arsenic (As). Furthermore, every batch of tea leaves and plant extracts is monitored for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH4) and Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs) to ensure seamless border clearance.

3. CCPAE Organic Import Protocol

In Catalonia, organic commerce is supervised by the Consell Català de la Producció Agrària Ecològica (CCPAE) according to Regulation (EU) 2018/848. We provide valid electronic TRACES Certificates of Inspection (COI) matching our certified EU Organic processing facilities, eliminating detention delays at European border inspection posts (BIP).

Analytical Parameter Xi'an Vexli Bio-Tech Export Standards Standard Market Commodity Grade Significance for Barcelona Manufacturers

Assay Verification Target compound confirmed via validated HPLC method Non-specific UV-Vis or calculation Guarantees active bio-efficacy in registered nutraceutical formulations
Particle Size Granulometry Homogeneous 80 to 450 mesh grading (Micro-milled) Coarse, uneven milling (40-60 mesh) Optimizes tablet hardness, capsule weight uniformity, and liquid dissolution
Logistics Classification Accompanied by accredited IATA DGR and IMDG reports Standard general commercial declaration Guarantees zero fine powder cargo holds during air or ocean transit
Factory Credential & Heritage

Direct Sourcing from Shaanxi's Botanical Heartland

Founded in 2014 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province—the world's foremost medicinal botanical cradle—Xi'an Vexli Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. operates as a specialized manufacturer, research hub, and direct exporter. Rather than trading through intermediaries, we control quality from wild-harvest origin to laboratory-verified powder.

SGS On-Site Audited Facility

Our extraction lines, 1,250 m² GMP-compliant warehouse, cleanroom spray towers, and quality assurance control systems have successfully completed comprehensive on-site inspections conducted by SGS. We maintain active ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and dual USDA/EU Organic certifications.

We manage all import documentation, customs clearance, and intra-EU transport.

Procurement Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions by European Purchasing Directors

Critical technical, regulatory, and logistics answers for laboratory managers, technical formulators, and supply chain executives in Spain.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for imports into Barcelona?

To empower formulation R&D trials alongside full-scale industrial production, our standard MOQ for primary botanical powders and high-value extracts (including Ceremonial Matcha, Phycocyanin, Butterfly Pea, and 99% NAD+) starts at just 1 kg. Specialized bulk commodities, such as Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides, feature an MOQ of 25 kg, and Organic D-Allulose starts at 50 kg.

How do you guarantee botanical authenticity and prevent adulteration?

Every raw lot entering our extraction facility undergoes High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry against standard reference substances. For organic superfood powders such as Ube and Matcha, we verify the physical profile, chlorophyll-to-pheophytin ratio, and raw source DNA, guaranteeing that zero synthetic carriers (such as maltodextrin), starch adulterants, or artificial dyes are present.

What compliance documentation is provided for clearance through Spanish Customs?

Shipments entering Spain are furnished with an exhaustive regulatory dossier: batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying assay, moisture, ash, microbiological pathogens (TPC, Yeast & Mold, Salmonella, E. coli), and heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg); 16-section REACH-compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS); Technical Specification Sheet (TDS); Non-GMO Declaration; Allergen Statement; and certified IATA/IMDG safe transportation reports. Electronic TRACES COI certificates are provided for EU Organic lots.

Can you provide customized particle sizing (micronization) for tablet compression?

Yes. We run specialized jet mills and vibrating air-classifier sieving machines capable of adjusting particle size anywhere between 80 mesh and 450 mesh. For contract supplement packagers handling direct compression tableting or high-speed hard gel capsule filling in Catalonia, we optimize powder bulk density, tap density, and angle of repose to ensure clean machine flowability without capping or lamination.

What are your transit times and air/ocean freight pathways to Barcelona?

Air freight shipments to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) typically take 5–8 business days door-to-door via courier (DHL/FedEx) or air cargo. Ocean shipments to the Port of Barcelona from our partner Chinese departure ports (Qingdao/Shanghai/Ningbo) feature an average maritime transit time of 28–35 days. We also offer DDP terms where our European broker handles customs valuation, VAT/IVA settlement, and direct transport to your manufacturing plant.

Do you support pre-shipment sampling and third-party laboratory verification?

We provide 50g–100g pre-shipment pilot samples to qualified commercial buyers, formulators, and technical R&D teams across Spain. This permits internal QA validation of solubility, organoleptic attributes, active titer assay, and color matching prior to placing full commercial production purchase orders. Third-party testing with SGS, Eurofins, or your designated European laboratory is fully supported.
