Sourcing and specification of Pineapple CO2 Extract
Produced in Ukraine by supercritical fluid extraction using natural carbon dioxide, the extract appears as an oily liquid free of solvent residues. The INCI name is Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. CO2 Extract. The 5 g pack serves laboratories and small-scale manufacturers for initial trials. CO2 Extracts retain the native volatile profile and enzyme activity of the fruit. Buyers receive a fully natural material without chemical synthesis or added impurities.
Technical parameters for formulation
The fat-soluble extract integrates into oil phases or post-emulsification stages at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius. Recommended input levels range from 0.2 to 2 percent depending on the target product. Solubility in lipids simplifies incorporation into creams, serums and emulsions. Stability tests are advised before scaling to commercial batches.
Applications across cosmetic and supplement industries
Cosmetic labs formulate the extract into lotions, masks and body products for improved skin comfort and hydration. Supplement and food manufacturers purchase it as a botanical raw material for dietary supplements and functional foods, including beverages and confectionery items. Private formulators and large factories worldwide source both retail and wholesale quantities for product development. Pineapple CO2 Extract 100 g accommodates higher volume requirements.

Example hair and scalp care blend
Conditioner base 92 percent, CO2 extract 0.8 percent pre-dissolved in 6 percent jojoba oil, preservative 1.2 percent. Add the extract after cooling the base. Apply to damp hair, leave for five minutes and rinse. The blend supports scalp comfort and hair appearance in weekly use.
Integration guidelines for manufacturers
Introduce the extract during the cooling phase of emulsions or directly into lipid phases. Avoid prolonged heating above 40 degrees to preserve aromatic notes. Compatibility with waxes, emulsifiers and other botanicals is generally high, yet pilot batches remain essential for new formulas.
Storage conditions and shelf life
Keep containers in a cool, dark place with lids tightly closed. The material remains stable until December 2028. After opening, consume within twelve months. Protect from moisture and direct light exposure to maintain quality.
