Sourcing and specifications
Watermelon CO2 extract comes from Citrullus lanatus seeds grown in Ukraine through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. CO2 Extracts Wholesale delivers a consistent oily mass rich in folic acid, nicotinic acid, flavonoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The 100 g pack arrives in transport-grade containers suitable for international laboratories and factories. INCI designation remains Citrullus lanatus with confirmed fat-soluble behavior and absence of solvent residues.
Technical parameters for B2B buyers
Supplement manufacturers and food processors receive batches that maintain integrity for at least two years when kept cool and dark in sealed packaging. The material integrates cleanly into oil phases without exceeding 40 degrees Celsius during processing. Consistent composition supports reproducible results across dietary supplement premixes and functional food lines.
Formulation in cosmetics laboratories
Cosmetic development teams incorporate the extract at 1-5 percent levels within oil phases of creams, serums and after-sun products. Example face serum formulation: 2 percent extract, 8 percent squalane, 3 percent emulsifier, 1 percent glycerin, remainder purified water plus preservative. Watermelon CO2 extract 1 kg supports scale-up from pilot batches to full production runs.
Role in dietary supplements and food industry
Global producers of dietary supplements and confectionery source the raw botanical material for beverage concentrates, functional blends and food-grade applications. Private formulators purchase smaller retail packs while factories order larger volumes. Extracts Wholesale accommodates both wholesale contracts and individual laboratory needs across continents.
Dosage guidelines
In cosmetic emulsions the extract enters the oil phase at 1-5 percent. In supplement and food applications technologists determine exact percentages based on final recipe requirements. Complete solubility occurs exclusively in lipid carriers, eliminating the need for additional solvents.
Storage conditions
Store the material in a tightly closed container placed in a cool dark environment. Under these conditions the guaranteed shelf life extends to a minimum of two years from the production date printed on each batch.
