Product Description
Sourcing and specification profile
Oakmoss CO2 extract is produced in Czech Republic from Evernia prunastri using supercritical carbon dioxide. The resulting viscous liquid is supplied in 1 kg containers to cosmetic laboratories and supplement manufacturers seeking a consistent botanical raw material. CO2 Extracts Wholesale listings allow bulk buyers to compare batch specifications before ordering.
Functional role in cosmetic bases
The extract contributes to skin comfort and firmness when incorporated into creams and serums. Its lipid fraction integrates readily, helping formulas maintain texture under temperature fluctuations. Laboratories test it in face, body and hair care systems where a fixing note is desired.
Use in dietary supplements and food production
Supplement and confectionery factories source this CO2 extract as a botanical ingredient for functional beverages, dry blends and fillings. Private formulators also purchase retail quantities for small-batch nutritional products. Oakmoss CO2 extract 5g serves as an economical trial size. International manufacturers incorporate it into powdered nutritional mixes, herbal infusions and confectionery centers to achieve uniform botanical content across large production runs.
