Sourcing and specification profile
Broccoli CO2 Extract is produced in Italy by supercritical fluid extraction and supplied as a viscous liquid in 100 g packs. The INCI name is Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) CO2 Extract. CO2 Extracts Wholesale section lists this botanical for laboratories seeking consistent raw material with characteristic odour. The extraction method preserves key lipid fractions and volatile compounds from the starting material.
Supplied packaging supports both pilot testing and scale-up operations in cosmetic and food manufacturing environments. Buyers value the predictable performance across different formulation bases. Larger volumes are available via Broccoli CO2 Extract 1 kg for production scaling.
Technical parameters for formulation
The extract dissolves in polysorbate-80, oils and triglycerides. Recommended cosmetic dosage is 0,1-0,5 %. It is added during cooling phase below 40 °C. Food-grade use is limited to botanical raw material in dietary supplement and confectionery recipes. Compatibility testing with other ingredients is advised prior to full-scale production.
Its natural aroma profile integrates well into both emulsion systems and anhydrous blends. Formulators report consistent batch-to-batch quality when stored under recommended conditions.
Industry applications
Cosmetic labs incorporate it into serums and body emulsions. Supplement and beverage manufacturers purchase it as a plant ingredient for functional blends. CO2 Extracts are also used by confectionery factories worldwide in retail and wholesale volumes. Additional uses include functional food prototypes and hair care emulsions where natural botanical notes are desired.
Flexible pack sizes allow manufacturers to optimize inventory and reduce waste during development cycles. This supports efficient scaling from laboratory to industrial production.
Example hair serum formulation
Argan oil 60 %, jojoba oil 30 %, polysorbate-80 6 %, vitamin E 3 %, Broccoli CO2 Extract 0,4 %, fragrance 0,6 %. Blend at room temperature and fill into dropper bottles. Apply several drops to scalp and lengths. Additional botanical extracts can be introduced to adjust viscosity and scent.
