Cocoa CO2 Extract 5 g

Sourcing and specifications of Cocoa CO2 Extract from Germany

Theobroma Cacao Seed CO2 Extract is produced in Germany by supercritical fluid extraction. The resulting viscous oily mass carries a rich warm chocolate aroma and contains natural polyphenols together with triglycerides. CO2 Extracts section presents the full range of pack sizes available for international buyers. The 5 g unit suits laboratory trials and small-scale production runs. European manufacturing standards ensure batch-to-batch consistency.

Key characteristics for formulation work

The extract dissolves readily in oils, triglycerides and polysorbate-80. It remains stable when added to emulsions after cooling below 40 degrees Celsius. Cosmetic laboratories and supplement manufacturers value the consistent sensory profile and the absence of solvent residues. The material serves as botanical raw material for dietary supplements and the food industry including beverages and confectionery. Botanical Extracts section lists complementary ingredients for complex blends. Larger volumes support full commercial production.

Typical input levels

Creams and serums receive 0.1-3 percent. Balms and butters tolerate up to 5 percent. These percentages allow formulators to balance cost, aroma strength and skin feel.

Example B2B hair mask concentrate

A 100 g batch contains 65 g jojoba oil, 25 g cetearyl alcohol, 4 g Cocoa CO2 Extract and 6 g polysorbate-80. Melt the oil and alcohol at 70 degrees, cool to 45 degrees, then add the extract pre-dissolved in the solubilizer. The concentrate is diluted 1:10 with water or additional oils before filling. This base delivers intensive conditioning with a subtle chocolate note.

Applications across cosmetics and food sectors

International cosmetic labs incorporate the extract into face creams, body butters and solid perfumes to deliver a natural chocolate note. Food manufacturers use it in functional blends and flavor systems where food-grade botanical raw material is required. 100 g packs support pilot production while larger volumes cover full-scale runs. The aroma profile remains stable across multiple product formats.

Storage recommendations and shelf life

Keep the product in a dry cool place in tightly closed containers. Minor compaction does not affect performance. Shelf life extends to June 2028 under stated conditions. Temperature monitoring during storage preserves original viscosity and scent intensity.
