Product Description
Sourcing and specification of Marigold CO2 Extract
The viscous liquid is produced in Czechia by CO2 extraction of Tagetes Patula and Tagetes Erecta flowers. CO2 Extracts retain lipophilic fractions without residual solvents. The 5 g pack meets the needs of laboratories and small-batch manufacturers who require precise botanical raw material. International buyers value the consistent quality from Czech production for both pilot testing and scaling. The extraction method ensures high purity and preservation of natural carotenoids.
Key characteristics for formulators
The extract softens rough skin areas and refreshes the skin surface when incorporated into emulsions. It dissolves readily in polysorbate-80, oils and triglycerides, allowing flexible addition to both oil and emulsified systems at temperatures below 40 °C. Formulators appreciate its compatibility with various plant oils and other botanical extracts. Proper storage maintains its properties throughout the shelf life.
Use in supplements and food manufacturing
International buyers source the extract as a botanical ingredient for dietary supplements and functional food products such as beverages and confectionery. Marigold CO2 Extract 100 g supports scaling from pilot to commercial batches. Cosmetic labs also incorporate it into creams, serums and hair conditioners at 0.05-1 %. Large manufacturers rely on stable supply chains and repeatable batch quality.
Formulation example for scalp care
A leave-in scalp tonic contains 0.1 % extract pre-dissolved in 0.5 % polysorbate-80, 3 % glycerin, 1 % panthenol and distilled water to 100 %. The blend is filtered and filled into spray bottles for daily application. This approach provides a lightweight texture suitable for regular use.
Dosage guidelines across product types
Input levels range from 0.05-0.09 % in micellar waters and sprays to 0.1-0.3 % in lifting creams and up to 1 % in balms. The extract is added during the cooling phase after emulsification to preserve volatile fractions. Testing compatibility with the specific base formula is recommended before full production.
Storage and shelf life
Store in a dry, cool place in the original closed container until December 2028. Minor caking does not affect performance. Botanical Extracts should be protected from light and moisture to maintain full efficacy.
