Product Description
Sourcing and specification for international manufacturers
Star Anise CO2 Extract 100 g originates from supercritical extraction of Illicium verum fruits in the Czech Republic. The resulting viscous liquid preserves the complete profile of plant constituents in transport packaging. CO2 Extracts Wholesale delivers this concentrated material to supplement producers, confectionery plants and cosmetic laboratories across multiple continents.
Technical parameters and input guidelines
The extract integrates readily into polysorbate-80, carrier oils and triglycerides. Input levels range from 0.05 percent in sprays and micellar waters up to 1 percent in targeted balms. Cosmetic labs typically add 0.1-0.3 percent to lifting creams and serums while food and supplement manufacturers respect local botanical limits for functional blends.
Practical formulation for scalp care tonic
Combine 85 ml rosemary hydrosol, 10 ml jojoba oil, 3 ml polysorbate-80 and 0.25 percent Star Anise CO2 Extract at 35 degrees Celsius. Stir until uniform, then package in spray bottles for daily scalp application. This example demonstrates solubility and stability without additional stabilizers.
Role in cosmetic laboratory work
Formulators incorporate the material into facial masks, body creams, hair conditioners and after-sun products. Star Anise CO2 Extract 5 g provides an economical trial quantity before committing to larger volumes. Addition occurs in the oil phase below 40 degrees Celsius to retain volatile fractions.
Integration into dietary supplements and food production
Supplement and functional food factories worldwide source this CO2 extract as a botanical raw material for beverages, confectionery fillings and nutritional complexes. The same material appears in private formulation projects and industrial batches. Larger quantities are listed under the Extracts Wholesale section for streamlined procurement.
Handling, storage and shelf life
Store in a dry, cool environment away from direct light and humidity. The product remains stable until December 2028; minor clumping does not impair performance or solubility.
