Full solubility in oils and lipids allows straightforward addition during the oil phase without additional processing aids. These attributes make the ingredient suitable for scale-up from pilot batches to industrial volumes in cosmetic and nutritional applications. CO2 Extracts Wholesale options are popular with larger operations.
