Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Black Cumin CO2 Extract originates from England and is produced via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from seeds and flowers. The 5 g pack contains a pure oily liquid with INCI Nigella Sativa (Nigellae semen) CO2 Extract. CO2 Extracts section lists similar items for bulk comparison. B2B buyers receive consistent quality free of solvents and heavy metals. Larger packs such as 100 g format support scaling production.
Technical parameters for manufacturers
The extract is fat-soluble and added at 0.001-0.5 percent in the active phase below 40 degrees Celsius. Cosmetic labs and supplement producers appreciate its neutral profile that integrates without altering viscosity. Storage in a cool dark place keeps properties intact until December 2028.

Role in dietary supplement and food formulations
Worldwide factories and private formulators purchase the material as botanical raw input for dietary supplements and functional food lines. It appears in beverage blends, confectionery bases and nutritional complexes. Retail and wholesale volumes support both pilot batches and industrial production.
Example serum formulation for cosmetic labs
A sample face serum contains 60 percent jojoba oil, 30 percent squalane, 9.5 percent vitamin E and 0.5 percent of this extract. Oils are combined at room temperature, the extract is stirred in last. The finished serum is filled into dropper bottles for daily use. The blend remains stable across typical storage conditions.
Compatibility and processing notes
Full solubility in lipid phases ensures uniform distribution. No additional emulsifiers are required when working with oil-based systems. Temperature control during manufacturing preserves volatile fractions. This characteristic simplifies integration into existing manufacturing lines.
Supply chain considerations
Small packs allow testing before scaling to larger containers. The method of preparation guarantees traceability from raw material to final extract.
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended input level in food matrices?
Start with 0.01 percent and adjust according to sensory and stability tests in the target product.
Does the extract require special handling equipment?
Standard mixing vessels used for oil phases are sufficient; no specialized CO2 equipment is needed at the formulation stage.
Can it be combined with other CO2 extracts?
Yes, it blends cleanly with other fat-soluble botanical extracts without phase separation.
