Product Description
Sourcing and specification of birch buds CO2 extract
Betula pubescens Echr. buds from Ukraine yield a wax-like CO2 extract supplied in 5 g containers. The material contains terpenes, terpenoids, phytosterols and flavones preserved through supercritical extraction. CO2 Extracts are selected by laboratories for consistent performance in lipid phases and offer reliable results across different formulation types.
Technical parameters for formulation
The extract is fat-soluble and added to the active phase at 0.01-2%. Processing temperature stays below 40 degrees Celsius. Shelf life extends to December 2028 when stored cool and dark in a tightly closed container. These details support precise scaling in both small and large production environments.
Integration in cosmetic and personal care lines
Labs incorporate the extract into serums and body butters to support skin comfort and tone. Sample blend: 1.2% extract, 6% emulsifier, 12% oils, balance water. Combine after emulsification at moderate heat. The result suits daily facial and body routines. Additional uses include masks where it contributes to overall formula balance.
Role as raw material for supplements and food production
Supplement and food manufacturers source the extract as a botanical ingredient for dietary supplements, beverages, confectionery and functional foods. Birch buds CO2 extract 1 kg supports larger production runs. Both wholesale and retail volumes serve private formulators and factories worldwide in the food industry.
Sample scalp care formulation
A leave-in care uses 0.8% extract, 8% jojoba oil, 4% lecithin. Melt components together at 35 degrees, pour into containers. Finished product remains stable in cool storage. The blend works well with other lipid ingredients for consistent texture.
Handling and shelf life guidance
Protect from light and moisture during transport. Original packaging maintains quality until the printed date. CO2 Extracts Wholesale meet these standards for international shipments.
